Nance Greggs: Thanks in Advance
After a lifetime of being a liberal Democrat, I thought Id take a walk on the wild side and try to embrace the right-wingitude brigade, just to see what the GOP is offering these days to its membership.
However, after perusing the brochures and other related material, I find myself with more than a few questions about the organization. Could some Republican please answer my queries? As always, spelling does count so dont hesitate to ask for assistance!
Ive heard from several GOP quarters that the Republicans have always been the party of the working man. Im trying to find a single thing that the Republicans have done for the hard-working middle-class in recent history, but keep coming up empty. Could you possibly remind me of the many, many things the GOP has accomplished on their behalf? TIA.
You seem to be promoting the same old trickle-down theory, along with the notion that if the wealthy job creators have little regulation and lower tax burdens, jobs will be plentiful. Youve advanced this theory before and have acted upon it. Can you tell me where all the jobs are as a result of doing things your way? TIA...

As someone with lady parts, I have LOTS of questions about what today's Republican party offers other than ludicrous theories on rape and pregnancy and equally ludicrous perspectives on women's access to health care.
