Hey welcome Friend...I live very close to you.
I got the same garbage in the mail. Notice all those unopposed races? Pathetic huh?
But you know what...most people here are anti-abortion...pro-gun rights...pro-God...less taxes...
But they believe 1 thing that overrides everything else...they believe Republicans are only for the rich and the Democrats are for the working guy..the small guy. That's it.
You hit the nail squarely on the head.
Being stuck out here in CO, but having fellow FReepers that are also fellow QCitians is a great comfort.
One good thing, at least CO will probably go Bush, IL on the other hand, well...enough said.
"But they believe 1 thing that overrides everything else...they believe Republicans are only for the rich and the Democrats are for the working guy..the small guy. That's it."
You know, I was thinking... it's that kind of thinking that has been stifling growth in the QC for years. It's a prime location for tourism and even commerce with the river. People have got to look at who they keep electing on the local level year after year...Democrats. They are always cutting this and that but taxes like property taxes continue to rise. We finally had to move because my husband's company closed and he couldn't find comparable work (he's a techie).
Another factor is the large senior pop. that always votes Dem because they always have, regardless of who the candidate is. The buy into that SS scare tactice crap.
