On MSNBC this morning, Sen. Sanders (I-VT) explained the game that Republicans are playing in 2014:
This is what I do know. The Republicans are playing a very calculated political game. They understand that among other things, in off presidential year elections, sixty percent of the American people don’t vote. They understand that most low income working people don’t vote. So their attitude is, ok, we’re going to take money from billionaires like the Koch brothers and everybody else.
We can ignore whole segments of the American population. Doesn’t matter. We can push them down. We don’t have to respond to their needs. We can cut Medicaid. We can end Medicare as we know it. It doesn’t matter, because the big money interests will be supporting us. So I think they’ve made a political dynamic, I think it’s very clear. The Republican Party has become a right wing extremist party, and I think the American people have got to become aware of that, have got to fight back, and create an economy that works for the middle class, not the billionaires.
Very few politicians will say it. Even fewer people in the media will say it. Bernie Sanders said it. The truth is that there aren’t two equal parties fighting for votes from the people in the middle of the political spectrum. The Republican Party is a right wing extremist party. Senate Republicans proved this again yesterday by blocking the bill to raise the minimum wage.
Republicans don’t want the American people to know the truth. They still like to wrap themselves in the flag and pretend that they are the party of fiscal conservative and traditional American values. The Republican Party isn’t being guided by conservatism anymore. The motivating force in the GOP is an oligarchic right-wing economic agenda.
People who vote Republican today are voting for billionaires like the Koch brothers to have more at their expense. Bernie Sanders told the brutal truth, and if people understood who the Republican Party really is, I suspect Republican candidates would lose more elections.
If you’re not rich, you don’t exist. That’s the Republican motto. Until the American people realize this, and fight for the middle class based economy that they need, the march of the oligarchs will continue on. Sen. Sanders is speaking the truth, and saying things that Republicans don’t want you to hear.
