Kerry supporter hangout.....

Interesting...something about NYC Dems, they vote Dem because their parents and grandparents did...or they're voting with their union...or they have to because all Pubbis are bad...not a lot voted for Kerry that I know, but AGAINST Bush.

NYC Dims are a strange lot, I don't know if they'll ever come around (well, Ed Koch did, I guess that's a start!)

I think he gets it..!

Interesting... but not unusual. It seems many voted against rather then for...

A truly fascinating article.

When I turned the switch for the President, I felt extremely satisfied and completely unconflicted.

As someone who was born and raised in NYC, I have to say that I have no idea how I escaped the mental poison of liberalism. Of course, I came from a good, loving, intact Catholic home - but that didn't help dozens of people I grew up with.

When the author says that parts of Brooklyn went red, I'd love to see the data.

The last three paragraphs say it all....

If anyone is to blame for the commericalization of the American psyche it is the Blue states. They did it to themselves. he he he

GREAT article!!

I love the way he is able to pinpoint a few of the hypocrisies that run so rampant in the life of the man he (regrettedly) voted for!

I have said all along that even if hated Bush, I would have voted for him in this election simply because of what Kerry represents.

It sheds light on the scary truth that a LOT of politicians say what the people want to hear and how they want to hear it, when someone in a position as prominent as Presidential candidate so flippantly changes his "beliefs" based on what audience he has at the time.

I rarely remember him ever just agreeing with his own policies. He usually said something like, "Well, I personally think abortion should be a LAST resort, but I support each woman's right to choose." Whearas, Bush just says, "Abortion is wrong, and I am against it." He wasn't trying to coddle all the baby-killers or even the ones who had done it in the naivety of youth and regret it now. He just stands by what he believes and doesn't worry about hurting feelings. But at the same time I have no doubt in my mind that Bush would warmly embrace any woman who was living with the guilt of having had an abortion and who now regretted that decision, and promise to pray for her and assure her that God forgives those who seek it.

And THAT'S why I voted for Bush. Not because I agree with him whole-heartedly on every issue.

"If I put the "issues" to one side, I don’t want to vote for someone who preaches about economic justice from the seat of an $8,000 bicycle, who pays a lower effective rate of tax than people with a thousandth part of his family income while moaning in that saggy way of his about "unfair tax cuts," and I don’t want to be lumped with those who do."

Well said!

Yes...About one out of two Catholics voted for W...one out of five African Americans, and one out of four Jews.

This should partially explain why the biggest Eastern cities went for Kerry.
