I think Americans understand the Republican message just fine

I really do:

(Reuters) – Days after President Barack Obama’s inauguration, Republican leaders said on Sunday their party needed to change the way it communicates, not its ideas, to win back the White House. Former Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan, appearing in his first live television interview since the November 6 election, said his party needs to demonstrate that Republican ideas can improve people’s lives. “We have to show our ideas are better at fighting poverty, how our ideas are better at solving healthcare, how our ideas are better at solving the problems people are experiencing in their daily lives,” the Wisconsin congressman told NBC’s “Meet the Press” program. Governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia, where Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney campaigned aggressively and lost by 4 percentage points, said his party’s message has failed to reach voters who don’t pay close attention to politics. “I think they don’t understand the conservative message,” McDonnell told CNN’s “State of the Union.” — Republicans blame message, not ideas, for failures | Reuters

The Republican message is understood just fine by Americans; and that is that we should privatize social security, and that we should turn medicare into a voucher system and put many disabled Americans at risk and that we should get rid of all the social safety net.

Which is why the Republican Party will never be in power again, unless they back away from the extremism of the far right or the Tea Party. The GOP could take some good steps to pay for the social safety net and pay down our debt. I have written about this many times before. Instead, the GOP would rather let it’s lackeys, like the Koch Brothers, who are Jewish, by the way; pick fights with the labor movement and have people like Governor Snyder pass bills that will do more to hurt Michigan’s economy than it will to help it.

Which is why the Republican Party, as far as this Independent Political writer is concerned, is the stupid party anymore. It is controlled by the banksters, and the protected minority thugs, who would sell America’s soul for the right price. Which why, in 2014 and 2016; my vote is up for grabs.
