"You and yours have never and will never benefit from Republican policies,

[stopbush]

so why do you vote for them?"

THAT is the question that needs to be asked of people in the middle and lower classes who vote Republican. Because pointing out how Democratic policies do improve their lives doesn't seem to make an impression.

The follow-up question is, "are you OK with the fact that Republican policies take money and benefits out of your wallet and hand them over to billionaires?"

And the final question - which gets to the heart of the matter - is, "how likely do you think it is that you yourself will some day be a millionaire or billionaire?" Sadly, the majority of not-wealthy people in this country believe that wealth is just around the corner for them, so they vote for Republican policies because they don't want to upset the elite apple cart...because they believe they themselves will be enjoying those apples in the future.

2. Maybe they perceive some benefit you do not.

I find that persons who ask this question usually consider only material benefits.

3. Very simple - these people KNOW the republicans are going to crap on them

But they'll still have somebody to look down on because the republicans will crap on minorities, immigrants, Muslims, gays etc. etc., even more.

They realize that they will never be millionaires, they just want to be better off than somebody and the republicans let them think they will be.

5. Elections in America are not won or lost on RepubliCON or Democratic policies

rather they're won on Wedge issues, God, Guns, Abortions and Gays, G,G,A,G. That's why the 'CONs work so hard in keeping those issues front and center.

6. Sad but true...

Whenever an election comes along where they actually can focus on real issues, the Dems win hands down.
