Okay, I will probably get jumped and called an Obama lover but he did make a good point that this thread illustrates perfectly. The republicans called him out when he was at a fund raising rally and said to the crowd that many people in the middle class don't vote for a candidate because of their economic policy because they feel that neither party will do anything worth a damn for them so they cling to things like god and guns that have an impact in their lives. He was blasted for saying it, but it is true. Many people assume they will get raped finacially by either party and that neither party has their best interest in mind so they tend to vote for things that they can control and that they will see tangible results from. So if they are pro life and pro gun they vote for republicans. If they are for gay marrige and legal weed, they vote democrat.
The republicans have done a masterful job of convincing poor white people that the democrats will take away their guns, close all churches and force them to abort their babies. It really amazes me to see it.
they have also done a brilliant job of making the world liberal a dirty word. They can slam the democrats all day long and call them liberals, but if the democrats call the republican zealots that is somehow off limits because it is making fun of the baby Jesus.
