Related: About this forumLet's list all the bad things Republicans have done for America
I think the DNC should talk down to the country like the RNC does. You know, keep it simple. So how about a list of things the RNC has done that can be used against them in advertising this fall to get the message across to voters that they should not be returned to Washington.
I'll start it off:
Republicans wanted to keep health care/Obamacare away from people who could really use it and did everything the could to repeal it.
Another: Republicans want to eliminate a woman's right to choose.

(45,251 posts)They don't care about your health.
But they want to govern--your reproductive system.
They want to abolish your Constitutional rights to separation of church and state.
They never met a war they didn't love.

(27,813 posts)... to list all of the bad things Republicans have done for America, (a) they'd be dead of exhaustion before they were halfway through the list, and (b) if they posted said list on a website, they'd overload the series of tubes that comprise the internetz.

(797 posts)A good read on what happens if Repubs gain control
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/04/30/here-s-what-happens-when-the-gop-takes-over-the-senate.html.
A few things i've heard repubs want to eliminate
public schools
OAS
Medicare/medicaid
All welfare,including food stamps etc.
Unemployment benefits
Minimum wage
Unions
The list is long, bottom line i dont understand how people vote for such a party when they can be directly or indirectly or at some time in the future affected by the cessation of many of these programs.Basically the repub strategy is about every one for themselves.

Then there's the ample comedy fodder they've provided for Jon Stewart & others ... which has been funny in a sad sort of way.
