Rightwingers waste no time demonizing democrats, but they rarely make an effort to defend the Republican Party. Why? Because deep down they know the party does nothing to help the middle class and poor. It's easy to come to this conclusion when they realize they can't come up with any policy examples.
By now they have realized that cutting taxes for the top earners and corporations does nothing to stimulate wide economic growth. The Bush tax cuts were glaring proof of this. The Great Recession happened anyway and overall job growth under Bush was pathetic.
Beyond that, there are no examples. There is nothing republicans do to help the poor and middle class. You can believe what you want about the consequences of democrat policies, but that doesn't change the fact that they come up with policies targeted to the middle class and poor. Examples include expanding the earned income tax credit, college financial assistance, raising the minimum wage, and investing in our infrastructure and education to create middle class jobs. That is what ultimately separates the two parties.
Rejecting the republican party is realizing and admitting to one's self that the party only aims to coddle the wealthy class. It's getting past the myth of supply side economics.
