I don't think that's true at all.....

Most Indians I know...and I am of that blood. Rural, or urban..are majorly Liberal Democrat.

I live in a very rural area....and 90% of Indians here vote Democrat.

I didn’t say anything different. I stated that there are Conservative Indians, but they don’t make themselves obvious, unlike the Liberals.

Many Indians are generationally brain-washed by the pupetuation of the victimhood mentality. The cycle needs to be broken. Taking personal responsibility is a hard thing for some people.

The government did a good job enslaving Indians in the programs. The enslaved don’t usually realize their predicament much like the frog in the boiling pot of water.

I am Delaware, Cherokee, and European.

“no politician pays attention to Indian”

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

I grew up on the Res and every state Dem politician kissed the butts of the enrolled members, showering them with taxpayer dollars and committments for dollars and development from now to eternity.

In return the tribes turn out for Democrats at about a 90 percent clip.

In the two states I have lived in since, including Montana, the tribes have always voted in a Democrat bloc, including the Crow. Hell, the moron Dem governor in Montana even went to Washington and joked in a speech that with a little pocket cash he could generate 5,000 more votes on the Crow Reservation than there were Crow voters.

Of course he later had to eat crow about that one.

By the way I’m always fascinated to see how far and wide the Cherokee tribal blood has spread in this country, especially amongst celebrities, and even on the FR boards.

Here’s a link showing just a portion of the celebrated family ties:
