Why is the GOP a major political party in this country? They have been largely ineffective as problem-solvers. They continue to be supported by the same segment of this society that prefers slavery and Jim Crow. They are divisive, emphasizing the DIFFERENCES among us and not the similarities. They are pompous enough to feel that men can tell women what to do with their bodies (abortion), that racism no longer exists to the detriment of black people ("reverse discrimination"), that welfare recipients are mainly lazy blacks looking for a handout, that illegal immigrants need to be kicked out even as they hire them on the cheap and pay them under the table. They are perpetual war mongerers, assuming that other sovereign nations want to be just like us without taking the time to know and understand other cultures or respect their ideology.
Their party is largely now dominated by white people. Rarely does one see a black person supporting their agenda. In the last election, I was at a polling station, and a white guy representing the Republican party was handing out leaflets of how Republicans should vote. He was approached by an interracial couple, black man and white woman. True to form, this very short-sighted individual tried to give the leaflet to the white woman, ignoring the black man (assuming he wasn't a Republican). I was delighted to see the woman take the leaflet and tear it in half and throw it in his face.
So the question remains: why does the GOP exist except to continue to perpetuate racism and bigotry even as the progression of the nation as an international community continues?

It was Republicans that ended slavery and Jim Crow. Democrats fought it. And who still supports slavery and Jim Crow? Nobody.

So how many times have Republicans tried to overthrow Roe v. Wade? We just had 8 years of Rep control and not one attempt was made.

WW1- Democrat Wilson, WW2- Democrat Roosevelt, Korea- Democrat Truman, Vietnam- Democrat Kennedy/Johnson, Bosnia- Democrat Clinton, Kosovo- Democrat Clinton. The republicans went into Iraq twice and Afghanistan. Who's the war mongers???????? Democrats are responsible for millions dead. Repubs a few thousand.
The rest of your post is so stupid it doesn't even deserve a response.

Bullsh-t.
It is illegal for someone to pander to voters at a polling station in attempt to sway their vote. You cannot even display any kind of political posters or symbols within view of a polling station, much less give out any kind of leaflets.
No need to lie to try and make whatever point you were trying to make, either way, you should use the dozen other spam threads you post every week to contain your drivel instead of starting a new one.
