As I pointed out earlier, in a sarcastic manner, you somehow think that attacking Wal-Mart is ' standing up for the poor'. It isn't, it's a tactic of the Left to tear down others to make everyone equally poor. Certainly not a tactic Reagan would ever use.
Making everyone equally miserable is a legitimate arguing point it you are a Leftist, and that's what you have been doing on this thread.
Speaking of sad, it's also something you are trying to avoid talking about.
You've built your own ideological box, don't be surprised when you find yourself in it.
Balding_Eagle: “You’ve built your own ideological box”
Oh, come on. In how many posts have you used the word “Leftist”? You obviously have a difficult time breaking out of the Left/Right think. I said I’m Pro-Life, defend traditional marriage, and vote Republican. You don’t address this because you have pigeonholed me in an ideological box to avoid having to take my arguments on and won’t consider any information that proves your preconceived notions false.
Every four years, I have a family member who votes Democrat at the presidential level and basically says: “The Republicans are for the rich and don’t care about the middle class or the working man.” I try to dissuade him from voting Democrat by countering his arguments and getting him to consider many issues. I don’t call him a “Leftist” and walk out of the room. If you really want the Republicans to win, you’re gonna have to do more than preach to the choir and refuse to counter arguments by dismissing people into an ideological box. Good grief, I’ve worked union jobs in which 40-50% of the workers vote Republican. When they say something about better pay, better benefits, or better treatment, are they just supposed to be called “Leftist”? You’re thinking is too Left/Right rigid.
