I was referring to the legion of “voters” that ACORN bussed to the polls. These folks aren't the haves of the world. These are the same folks that zer0 is buying for future elections by reestablishing the welfare state.

Fine. Agree, but that wasn't what the original poster said with whom you seemed to agree.

The notion that suddenly the masses "got the vote" and are voting themselves money may be true, but it absolutely is not new in American history, and at many times was far worse. Nor is it usually a permanent situation.

Once again: the job for conservatives is to explain why the have-nots in any society have a better chance to become haves with the free market and limited government. The have-nots ALWAYS figure this out---but sometimes not until a Hitler or economic collapse comes along.

I hear ya...I'm just trying to help break that MSM characterization of conservatives as "the rich" and of Dems as "working families".

The 5 richest states per capita (CT, NJ, MA, MD, NY) are bastions of liberalism and total Democrats, while the 6 lowest income states (MS, WV, AR, UT, KY, SC) are mostly conservative and Republican.

Conservatism is a grass roots, populist movement...unlike liberalism, which is the concoction of intellectuals, elitists, and control-crazy central planners.
