Dear Editor: Why Elect Republicans?

To the Editor:

Polls have shown for the last few years that 60-70 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed. That being the case, why on earth did American voters give control of Congress to the “do-nothing,” block-everything Republicans who have spent the last six years obstructing the economy and government all in an attempt to make President Obama be seen as a failure. This doesn’t make sense.
Why would American voters elect voodoo, supply-side, trickle-down Republicans who are still married to the same economic formula that brought America to its knees with the Great Recession of 2008; Republicans who are still preaching their same dreary economic forecast.
Do you turn around the direction of the country by giving control to Congress to anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-immigration Tea Party Republicans who put their party agenda and extremist base before the good of the country.
Didn’t the American public learn anything from the financial fiasco of 2008?
