Because economics takes a backseat to "important issues" that the GOP is playing host to. Libs want to kill babies and take our guns! Very few people actually do their homework on economics, they'll blame Obama for the 2008 market crash (he wasn't even prez. yet!), and cite the efficacy of trickle-down economics... clearly an effective economic policy, nevermind the growing wealth gap.We're seeing polls that show that the GOP is certain to gain seats in the coming elections, all while advocating policies that are likely to hurt far more of their voters than will help. What is it about their message that resonates?
