It's a trap issue for them, just like women's health issues. But it's fun to watch them walk right into the trap.
Fortunately for the GOP, the nation is filled with Joe the Plumber morons who will vote against their economic class's self interest.
They vote for folk who have the same gut reactions they do. That is what matters to folk who vote, not their economic welfare. Liberals can't seem to understand that so they lose elections and all the 'stupid morons' win and are successful, naturally because they are stupid. I wish liberals were more stupid.
