Universal health care, or any attempt to do so
Minimum wage
Sick leave
Background checks
Climate change
Evolution...though they do realize why Ebola may become airborne.......don't they?

The list goes on and on.

I swear, if you look at these treabaggers at just the right angle in the right light, you can see the monster within.

to vote for them? Seriously. I know there are one-issue voters, but...really?

4. Just dumb enough to be brainwashed easily, I think any IQ under 90 is highly vulnerable.

Tens of millions of folks in the nation. Hordes.

I advocate for hate speech laws, but most folks seem good with freedom of speech including genocide urgings, sedition and incitement.

Making the corporate attempt to limit on line reviews ludicrous.

Hubby and I were just talking this morning about how or why anyone with half a brain can vote for
a Republican. They are such greedy, self-preoccupied, arrogant, unempathic, irrational, bigoted,
a$$hole$.

5. I have one in my family who...

...views himself as a rich person. Lives, acts like, rubs elbows with some might & might corp types. Is HE rich? NO. Will he ever be rich? NO. But he has some delusion about that, it seems and so always sides with the rich folk, I guess somehow hoping some of the snoot will rub of on him. And it has infected his mind. As for his bank account - not so much.

That's the only one I am forced to deal with enough or on a level to get near understanding wtf goes on in a Republican brain. It's illogical, ignorant, selfish from what I've seen.

6. My brother is a staunch Republican--not a tea bagger.

I tried SO hard to get him to vote for Kerry in 2004--because the Bushies were so
anti-science and he's an MD/Ph.D.--but no dice. All he cares about is how much he is taxed.
And he works for Big Pharma (developing cancer drugs). Just a lost cause.

All my husband's relatives are Republicans, but they're from Georgia. Hopeless.

7. MD/Ph.D. - he should know better!

Mine is a Teabagger, I believe. That is to say it's mostly a suspicion I have. He spouts Teabagger talking points a lot, at least. UGH! Everybody and everything is Communist.

He's on SS and SSI - but HATES 'government' and "socialism" (even though he lives on it).

I have been tempted to tell him to send the damn checks back! Walk the talk! If he hates socialism, why is he living on SS? HA! He's a blazing idiot.
