Senator Jeff Flake says that the Republican Party is only appealing to older white men and needs to [View all]

expand its base. Well just a note to you senator Flake, Republicans don’t appeal to this older white guy at all.

It would be FAR more accurate to say that the Republican Party appeals to ignorant angry assholes.

There are many older white guys who are educated and involved who find your political ilk disgusting and repellent. Just because someone is white and reached retirement age doesn’t mean they buy into the dogma of stupid which you represent.

Take a real look at who you are appealing to and I think you will find that that demographic is shrinking by the day. You are actually appealing to the turds of political sewerage. Conned by your own party into thinking that they will somehow rise up out of their desperation and See the light of the city on a hill if they just swallow the stench of hatred, decisiveness and greed that your party deals in.

Given the truth these people would leave you in droves. Given the facts they would turn on you enmass. Given the reality, they would burn you down like the cheap house of cards you are. As the saying goes , You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.
