Why Do Non-Leftists Vote Democrat?

Nationa Review ^ | 09/28/2010 | Dennis Prager

[Paladin2]

Maybe ‘rat voters want some of Zer0’s stash.

[Genoa]

Daddy told us “Democrat’s the party of the working man.” That was hard to shake. (He was rebelling against his own father, who hated FDR and told him Democrats were no good.)

[Texas Eagle]

For many non-leftist Democrats, it is emotionally impossible to vote Republican.

Gee, Wally, where would people get such negative views of Republicans?

Don't they read newspapers or watch network newscasts or listen to PBS?

[rightwingcrazy]

Greed. Some people just vote in their perceived short-term self-interest, and the Democrats are the ones offering all the free stuff.

[kosciusko51]

I think he is spot-on.

I've often joked that here in Western PA, there are many who think it would break their arms to pull a lever for a republican.

[screaminsunshine]

A lot of Imbeciles think they are helping the ‘little guy’. This type also thinks their taxes go to fix the roads etc.

[rcrngroup]

Great article! And so true! Dumb ass liberals will vote for demoRATs no matter if they roasted babies on national TV, especially the commie pig usurper 0b0z0!

[Jack Hammer]

Dennis Prager greatly overestimates the intelligence of the American electorate.

Question answered.

[CarWashMan]

In order to feel good about themselves.

[Danae]

Ok, if this is true (I tend to think it is) how do we change that?

[Huebolt]

Equating "the right" with Nazis says it all. America is brain-washed. Nazis were, of course, socialists and true idealistic brothers with the communists and socialist liberals of today.

Liberals are like lemmings all running together to the cliff and death. The thought is "so far, so good, so far, so good," and "if were all in this together, it must be the right thing."

A few lemmings stop to question why, but not many. And the lemming leaders lead from the rear...and always stop short, laughing their asses off as the stupid masses stay true to the cause.

[driftless2]

There must be a great seismic revolution going on. After seventy years of being a hardcore Dem and endlessly bashing Republicans, my ninety year old pappy is so disillusioned with his beloved party, he now calls himself an independent. For someone who never spared an opportunity to smear the GOP and could never find any criticism of Democrats, that is positively earthshaking.

[Genoa]

Does pappy like tea?

[Wings-n-Wind]

PERHAPS A CLUE HERE:

***************

****************

Just sayin'...

[driftless2]

Nah, he won’t go that far. But when he announced that he considered himself a Dem, I was left openmouthed. My father rejecting Democrats after seventy years means the Dems have really screwed up.

[caww]

..... here in Western PA, there are many who think it would break their arms to pull a lever for a republican.

Oh yeah, you have that sooo right. Amazing in my workplace those who you have political conversation with have no clue what is going on in the political arena...let alone the country...and they vote! It's all about abortion rights, supporting homosexuals and "free" healthcare for them!

[Scythian]

BINGO, WE HAVE WINNER !

[myself6]

Weak minded people...

Either a significant % of them are going to need to have a F’ing epiphany (which lasts forever) or we are going to have to make them irrelevant to the choosing of the members of OUR government (secession).

Im not holding out hope that millions of weak minded people are suddenly going to turn against their indoctrination either temporarily for one election cycle (which is pointless really) or permanently (yeah right, I will eat this F’ing keyboard if that happens). The indoctrination is too complete and the ongoing propaganda in every form of media is overwhelming. These idiots will NEVER turn and embrace what they have been indoctrinated to abhor...

Our only options are

1a. Fairy tale ending - Everyone magically comes to their senses and everyone lives happily ever after. (yay for pixie dust and unicorns and cute fluffy talking animals)

1b. Secession - Free ourselves and our fate from their lunacy in the most peaceful (potentially) way possible.

2. Violent rebellion - this would not only require forcefully taking over the governmental institutions and media outlets but the slaughter of a significant percentage of the weak minded population. (not something I would look forward to and would probably cause significant damage to the mental well being of those that took part. However, this option is significantly more appealing than the last option).

3. Submission - Give up and try to exist within the hell they have and will “build” while trying to lighten our chains from time to time. (Yeah, I guess we could just kill ourselves at this point, but by now we have proven ourselves to be cowards and even that escape is beyond our reach.)

Ive ordered them according to preference.

[The Comedian]

Brilliant evaluation.

There is another option:

Significant natural depopulation.

Plagues, crop failures, etc will tend to weed out the stupid and parasitic first.

We could end up with a safe, clean world by virtue of simply out-living the statist tape worms.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
