The blank space at the bottom is the Republican agenda. Just oppose anything the Democrats do, then when they take over, start wars, cut taxes for the rich, and bankrupt the country.
All President Obama cares about is the 2014 election. He's following a classic strategy: Bring a parade of wedge issues that tear apart the opposing party while mobilizing his base. The strategy is that the base is so angered by Republican opposition to these issues that they turn out in droves to give the Democrats the House. If that happens, then we have 2008-2010 all over again and Obama can pass every ridiculous thing in his desk. The problem with this strategy is that it has nothing to do with governing, which is what why we pay these people. Our real problems aren't being addressed. What is occurring right now is beyond criminal.
The government prints as much money as it needs so you can stop bitching about taxes. It scares rich people away as well.
32% for the problem of erosion of The Constitution and The Bill of Rights, curiously absent from the allowed answers.
If that's his plan, it's backfiring in a major way. As we are treated to Our President mounting televised personal attacks in a rather vile, name-calling way,(and financially punitive and freedom-restrictive attacks through over-reach of his Constitutional powers) on smokers, gun owners, and citizens who want a semblance of border security, I think you'll see an historic exodus of white male voters from the Democrat Party. Few will join another party, however, and very few will become Republicans.
Magnifier talks about Christianity, but I probably practice the philosophy of Jesus more. Love thy neighbor. Love your enemy.
