Free Republic

I appreciate you alerting patriots of concerning votes & actions of our Public Servants. I read the Article you linked & it doesnt say at all what you suggest. Those on the committee who BLOCKED the Amendment are NOT listed. How you concluded that these Conservatives - who supported the amendment - also blocked it in committee, I dont know; but it WASNT stated in this article. Many of these you mentioned ASLO stood up to vote AGAINST Boehner for Speaker just a couple of days later, which convinces me that you are mistaken. Please Verify & correct this if needed, provide proof if accurate & be more careful & thorough in the future.

I am Sure you are Absolutely Correct. I Noticed that the Most Significant Factors - From the information they provide - Are Marriage & Foreign Language Spoken in the Homes. In the More Conservative Cities, a Significantly Higher % of the people Are Married. And In the More Liberal Cities, a Significantly Higher % of the People Speak a Foreign Language in their Homes.

I Realize that many people assume that Conservatives discriminate Racially & that that is why Conservative Cities have significantly lower Minority Population. While its Hard to tell what causes - or is caused by - what; Perhaps it is b/c Minorities believe the Democrat policies will be better for them & b/c Democrats pursue the votes of & Seek to Say, what Minorities want to hear; That Both Liberal Politicians & Minorities are in the same Cities in Higher numbers.

By the Same token, Married folks tend to Believe Conservative Policies are better for them. And Conservatives tend to promote Family b/c they believe that is best for society.

Once you put all of those things together, its easy to see that the combination of More Marriages/Families and Conservative Politicians produces less Poverty... AND the Combination of Liberals & homes that do not assimilate by learning to speak English tend to produce more Poverty.

That is my Hypothesis.
