PANDERING GOP

Billionaire and GOP donor Peter Thiel says GOP candidates have a lower IQ. This statement is fact in my opinion. He should have included many of the GOP office holders in general. I do have to credit someone in the GOP, they have hit upon a strategy that works for them. They pander to the fears of the less intelligent in the country especially the southern male. I don't mean to suggest that all southerns are stupid, but the majority of the GOP's base are white males from the south. To a smaller degree in the rest of the country. The GOP panders to them in the sense they tell them that they are victims of liberals. They tell them that they would be farther ahead in their lives if they Democrats wouldn't be giving their jobs to minorities, or the government would be better off if they would they would stop giving out food stamps or welfare or taxing them so much. If you pay attention to the GOP you see in their attacks that they only focus on the so-called entitlement programs. If you pay attention you will also see they give themselves all the benefits from the government they can scoop up. All you have to do is look at the Farm Bill. They cut food stamps, but left in payments to farms which many of the GOP get. They see no problem with that. They try to make voting harder because they are scared of the minority vote. They use the excuse they are trying to prevent voter fraud. We all know that is a lie, but the GOP base fall for that excuse. When you have a base who can be swayed so easily it's no wonder the GOP can lie with no fear of being held accountable.
