Letter: GOP lies should prompt people to vote with their heads

The relentless attacks by the Republicans on President Obama, women's rights, the poor and the middle class, minorities, voting rights, the ACA, and especially the truth, make me damn angry. Unable to win an election with a straightforward platform of helping our country, the Republicans, hand in hand with the religious right and the far radical right, have built a web of lies and deceit that blames everyone but themselves.

It is time for American voters to think for themselves and stop voting from their gut.

Think to yourself, seriously, what would America look like if the the Republicans actually controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress.
