This guy is wrong. In 2004, 48% of voters went for Kerry. In 2006, the nation elected the most liberal congress of all time, while in the middle of a war.
It is hard to equate that with an overwhelming majority of the nation conservative or very conservative.
Not when you consider vote fraud, something we have done NOTHING to fix in the last 8+ years.
When Republicans are running to the left, why should conservatives or very-conservatives bother to vote for them?
Not really. A very Conservative voter might stay home on election day. And also, you must consider the ACORN factor.
Voter fraud and buying votes.
I’ve often heard sentiments about like this:
“Yeah, I guess you could say I’m conservative. I go to work each day and don’t like people who are just being bums. I keep my yard clean, not like some people on this street. And I think that gay thing is just weird, you know? But I voted for the Democrats back in 2006, and will probably do so this time. First thing is that war over in Iraq. I don’t see the point. If those people want to kill each other we ain’t going to stop it. And then gas is so high, I can’t afford to go anywhere, and then I hear we got all these deficits. That can’t be good. I just don’t trust these Republicans anymore.”
Ahh, there is the rub. The poll he mentions doesn’t say voters, I believe it says Americans. The fact is only a small percent of Americans vote, this factor keeps the liberal element of voters high compared to conservatives. conservatives are typically people(unfortunately)who think things will go along just swell without their vote, or without becoming active in anything. Liberals and communist on the other hand typically swarm everywhere trying to change the government into a socialist he** hole. That is why 48 percent of the voters voted for Kerry, because the conservatives that should have been registered and should have voted weren’t and didn’t.
