Andrew Coffey asserts that the Republican Party doesn't represent middle-class voters. Does he think Democrats do? Or is he just too politically biased to see reality? Liberals paint the Republican Party as out-of-touch because they know Democrats will lose on the issues. The price of energy is a huge drain on the economy. It is the Republicans, not the Democrats, who want to take actions to immediately reduce the price of energy. Americans want jobs. The Republicans understand small businesses create jobs and support policies that give incentive for creating growth. It is the Democrats who vilify businesses, tax them until it is unprofitable to operate in the U.S. and then complain when they leave.
Americans want medical care that works. If the government didn't tax middle class voters at such an absurd rate, more Americans could afford medical care.
Americans also want honest values. Liberals don't understand that the average American loves God, fetuses and guns. Current Democratic leadership rejects all three as backward and undesirable.
Middle-class voters will continue to vote Republican until Democrats stop talking down to them and calling them bitter. The middle class is under siege by Washington. They see through Democratic positions for what they are - infringements on their rights and unwarranted attempts to control their wallets, lives and values.
