2. The Rethug propaganda machine has convinced the masses that Dems are immoral, socialists

Traditional Dems have been indoctrinated by the flood of money spent by the repub's out of state masters and their super pacs to vote based on wedge issues, i.e., gay marriage, guns, and race. The influence of religion and money in politics is destroying our democracy. It is disturbing how many candidates hasten to mention that they are Christian in their ads, as if nothing more need be said. A party that openly opposes programs for the "have nots" while allowing the top of the economic pyramid to accumulate more and more wealth could not be representative of the man who gave the sermon on the mount. Yet being a repub and claiming to be Christian is all that some voters need to hear. And whether you agree with Pres Obama or not, there is no doubt in my mind that many middle and lower class voters will blame the black president for everything that is wrong in this country.
