Obama Campaign Memo: GOP Candidates at Odds With Public Opinion

President Obama’s re-election campaign released a memo Monday that juxtaposes the positions of Republican presidential candidates with polls showing majorities of Americans standing opposed.

“From economics to immigration, Governor Perry, Governor Romney and the Republican field have embraced policies that the American people oppose,” campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt wrote in the memo. “The campaign to win the Republican nomination has become a campaign to win the hearts and minds of the Tea Party.”

LaBolt targeted Republican opposition to Obama’s financial regulatory reform, environmental protections imposed by the EPA, and proposed government investments in education and infrastructure in the president’s American Jobs Act. All of those initiatives, he said, are supported by majorities of Americans.

The memo also blasted GOP candidates who have suggested overhauling Social Security, shuttering government agencies and repealing popular provisions of the Affordable Care Act, such as limits on insurance companies over preexisting conditions.

1. The Tea Party (as of today) is still a MINORITY faction in a MINORITY party.

If a better representation of registered democratic voters exercised their constitutional right to choose their candidates, we have a better chance of getting our choice of policies enacted.

2. Public opinion means nothing to the GOP

The only opinions they hear are those of the corporations.

3. Has been that way for a few years, glad someone finally noticed
