Munk - libtards love the line "voting against your own best interest" because it puts them in a position to say they should make the choice for others.
Speaking of voting against your own best interest, how has that worked out in the ghettos of St. Louis, Detroit, Atlanta, SE DC, etc... Seems anywhere Leftist Gov Co runs things for decades we find an 3rd word shit hole. How about the failure of sku high taxes, socialist entitlements, absurd spending, etc? Shocking considering the absolute failure of socialism over the past 100 years, who would have thought?!. Idiots.
So clearly all deep-red states are pictures of perfection? Alabama, Mississippi, Kansas...
Also there's so much reverse causation too. To definitively assign blame to one cause (the Left) as Munk asserted is not possible; showing that poorer states have typically voted for a party which favours the poor does not mean that the party is necessarily to blame (although they might be).
ryans - I've given up understanding US politics. Everywhere else people are talking about economic policy, social welfare, education, social mobility, assisting the less fortunate and you guys are talking about "how many machine guns do I need" and if you think that number is greater than zero then you also believe in a deity and want to abolish helping the poor. Too confusing. Too polarised.
I'm an American and I agree. We are you're retarded cousin who no one picks on because although we have Down syndrome, we also have retard strength.
maybe the problem is in the fact that most(99%of them) republicans are not 100% against social programs
but are just in favor of more responsible social subsities
and many see the issue of being Pro Life, Pro Gun, and other main stream GOP issues as more important than "eliminating" social programs.
Ok my ex had a Abortion bout 10yrs ago and they never go to church never talk religion so how do you rationalize that?
I come from a democratic voting pro-life pro-gun went to church every Sunday, Sunday school, main service, revivals, my dad even sang on a contemporary gospel group, but whenever Reagan or Bush 41 came on to addressed the nation or in news segments, he'd flip the tv off and curse up a storm lol what does that make him?
But we never had to use entitlement programs either he worked for UPS for 25-30 yrs and was a teamster
you answered your own question
he voted 100% for who ever the union told him to vote for
Sandy Pantz - Why do you feel you know their interests better than they do?
I don't but did you even bother to read past the title? I know the rednecks I have come in contact some, their sibling and offspring use progressive entitlement programs started by dens that, neo cons, and Tea Partier Republicans are trying to roll back, privatize and eliminate. If you notice a ended with "I don't get it" but clearly you didn't read
Invisible Lats Syndrome - Romney's opponent was one of them coloreds you might recall.
Well I hope not cause that would be stupid cause he rented to a black man on his property who was smashing his kid, and bopping her head off the headboard
That would be dumb that black man can smash my daughter on my property, but not capable to be president
"It's pretty simple. Calvin Coolidge said "the business of America is business." American politics is about rich businessmen trying to maximize their own wealth and freedom. If this process also happens to benefit the larger public, that's a bonus. If not, too bad. "
No, it's about an individual being allowed the freedom from a lord, governor etc..to maximize their potential according to their ability and desire as long as that does not infringe on another's rights.
"Issues of guns, race, and religion are primarily means to this end. You gotta find a way to divide the plebs and keep them bickering with each other rather than noticing that no matter who loses in American society, the same people always win."
Who keeps people divided? LOL, maybe the party who wants to make policies based on race, sex, etc... rather than merit? My God you are simple.
"Look at poor Munk. His brain has been completely scrambled by propaganda. His posts sound like he's having some kind of conservative seizure."
It's called history, son, propaganda is your leftist "education".
"But he'll vote for tax breaks for billionaires until his dying breath,"
You mean the freedom for a man to keep what he earns rather than have Gov Co decide where earnings should go for the collective? That would be freedom versus feudalism, stupid.
"and die with a shit-eating grin on his face as he floats up to meet Jesus, knowing he helped save America from "socialism" and "atheism."
As opposed to the silly "enlightened" hipster who thinks touting a system that has lead to more economic and social failure than any other system in the history of the world has a clue? LMAO, you have bought into their idiotic idea that parroting their garbage somehow makes you intelligent and compassionate...but your are just another useful idiot with no substance.
