The Republicans are officially the party of rich, white, male assholes…

My question is obvious, why would anyone who's NOT a rich, warmongering, white, male asshole vote for them?

Their platform was written by rich, warmongering, white, mostly male assholes… with a few rich, warmongering, white, female assholes thrown in for good measure. But it was clear as a bell that assholes of all stripes put that thing together.

They hate women, anyone who isn't white, poor people of all colors, anyone who isn't narrowly hetero, post-fetuses, non-Christians, sound monetary policy and world peace. It's all there: http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/376377/20120822/republican-platform-2012-conservative-modern-history.htm

The funny thing about this article is the single comment from the incredulous winger who thinks that the RNC Platform is some kind of mythical fantasy:

This article is like this folks. MR. O'BAMA EATS UNBORN CHILDREN!! It is a proven fact that the President has eggs for breakfast. Everyone knows eggs are the unborn children of chickens.
I rest my case. Hysterical BS from extreme left wing loons. There is no platform yet!!


Makes you wonder what kind of world this guy is living in.

Alright, with a platform like this, it looks as if they're only looking out for six percent of the population; excluding women, minorities, children, working folks and practically everyone else who isn't an asshole.

Why are they all polling at around half the vote in any given race? Are these people not paying attention?

If so, ignorance is some dangerous shit.
