Reply #6: They are voting republican because democrats aren't listening -

[TBF]

We have tons of people in this country - workers - who see no difference on economic issues between the parties.

So, they vote on cultural issues. I might look at Palin and think "ugh, stupid, and wants to put bibles in the classroom" and I'll vote against her. Others may feel very comfortable with her religious beliefs so they decide maybe they like her and will vote for her.

The democrats don't give any extra incentive to look past the cultural stuff and vote for them. Jobs programs? Health care? Education? Little to no help from Obama on this. Maybe you can pay more money to actually get insurance in 2014, maybe you got extended unemployment until that ran out. That's it ...

So, that is the dilemma. Until democrats figure out how to communicate with workers (as repubs and tea partiers have) we won't have a chance to get those votes.
