Yes, they have been converted into wards of the state. Ol’ Mister Pork Barrel brings home the bacon in terms of pork so they have lost all of their personal dignity and just given in to the hand out welfare state. And they will vote still for Murtha and Obama who have publicly called them unsophisticated but useful idiots. Socialism at it's best.
There are a lot of old people and they don’t vote anything but Democrat no matter what. They don’t pay close attention to what Murtha says in general unless he’s talking about getting more money for them. As long as he says what they want to hear they’ll vote for him. Generational party loyalty is very strong here. Unfortunately.
