Immigration has been a problem for a long long time.
WHY does the GOP want Illegal aliens? WHY does the GOP tolerate employment of Illegal aliens?
WHY does the GOP want to dismantle unions and disempower workers?

We need to stop thinking of the elected GOP officials as stupid or misinformed and consider WHY they represent the polices they do.
For every item on this list we need to ask WHO GOP co. represents.

2014: Get the vermin out of the house.
End the republican menace!

"We need to stop thinking of the elected GOP officials as stupid or misinformed and consider WHY they represent the polices they do."

the more prominent members of the party are like professional grifters, while most of the rank-and-file Republicans are the misinformed ones. When one looks at some of the things they want such as more top tax breaks at the expense of entitlement programs, and less regulations for corporations, there is very little about their platform anymore that represents the fiscal interests of the have-nots. Hence the saying "there are 2 types of Republicans: millionaires and suckers."
