Unless you're gay, on the dole, or a commie why would you vote Democrat ?

Your post is self contradictory and incorrect. If moderates decided the last election then how could the politiicans they voted for be distant from where they stand? Did moderstes vote extreme candidates?

You do realize that there are voters who are conservative or liberal but lean to the center don't you?

That's not an answer.
How could moderates vote for people who were alien from their views? How could people whose views were not moderate get elected?

Most moderates don't have anybody to vote for, just the guy they dislike and the guy they really dislike.

Who do Republicans think wrote the minimum wage laws? The poor? It wasn't. It was the rich. They write all of the laws. They have for many decades. Since this country was founded, actually.

Do Republicans know that it is the 1% who wants everyone on government assistance so that they don't have to pay higher wages and better benefits to their employees? This keeps their costs down in order to maximize profits.

Are Republicans aware of this? Poor people don't want to be poor. Whoever told you that is a lying piece of shit who wants to keep everyone poor.

Probably because of the way our political system is set up and the domination of the political process by the two major parties. Their base decides who going to run and the base is dominated by the fringes. And the two links ( and there is a ton of more I could have provided) clearly showed which was the largest voting bloc.
Please take note of every poll's outcomes about the satisfaction levels of both parties, the disapproval numbers of Congress and the presidency.
I'm not going to play your silly games that are non-conclusive or supported by any facts, just opinion.

So Mitt Romney was the fringe candidate in the alst election, McCain prior to that? OK. we got it. Don't bother responding. Youv'e been pwned.

you fail to understand a lot.....all of today's issues you mentioned are related to being either gay, on the dole (dependent), or a commie...which one are YOU...?

all of your issues mentioned are related to the above 3 categories...for example...

....womens 'right to choose' is just an euphemism for the killing of innocent babies who are being denied their 'right to life'.....this so-called 'right to choose' is pushed by commies who have no belief in the 'right to life' given to us by our Creator...

....government control of wages is a form of communism...

....environmental control has become a venue for communism....

That Joe McCarthy playbook is getting pretty dog eared by now isn't it? The days of seeing a Communist behind every shrub are long gone, but the ignorance of the definition of communism lives on in the Illiterate Belt.

i use the word 'commie' as a blanket term.....because it basically covers the many other euphemisms you lefties use to describe your big government aspirations...

Have you ever learned what communism is? Additionally, have you ever learned what "hyperbole" is? Without a working vocabulary and the addition of hyperbole, can you understand how people could not take you seriously? Here's where that "eadin' and writin''' stuff comes to pay off. If your arguments are grounded in reality, they may be received as reality.

How about being black?....
That's a big one ....
Prolly what Joe Biden said to Obama... heh heh

from a commie point of view blacks are useful idiots just like the gays are....divide and conquer....kick up enough fuss to change the status quo so commie ideas can be implemented....

of course for blacks there is also the element of dependency for alot of them....President Johnson's War on Poverty was a great success....

Reasons to vote democrat is because they're "saner" as they support the
nws
noaa
cdc
fda
safety net
science
investment into r&d and infrastructure
Education
Fairness when it comes to the little guy

The right in this country want to give it all to the super rich and do away with any investment outside of them. You'd have to be crazy to vote tea party!

Are you aware that Progressives want Bush and Obama to go to prison for war crimes? Because we have ethics and respect for life.

Where was the "personal responsibility" from Republicans when the GOP lied America into invading Iraq?

[buckeye45_73]

these appear to be the three main reasons why people vote Democrat....

anyone...?

Easy

Because Republicans are only concerned with protecting the interests of the wealthiest Americans

Yeah, democrats only care gor the little guy. Thats why they put regulations in for big business, so no competitors can aford to challenge them.

And they want high gas prices, which help out the non rich so much, same with higher food prices. Oh and they want to raise the min wage, which kills jobs for the non rich. And it raises the price of EVERYTHING. Yay inflation, which helps the rich more than the non rich

So maybe it isn't a "Democrat vs Republican" thing, but more of a "rich vs everyone else" thing.

Have you ever considered that possibility?

And if those selfish rich give their employees assistance, the government wouldn't have to do it. So the middle class doesn't have to pay such high taxes. This proves that Democrats are for the top 1%. More reason to vote Republican.

communism is pretty much 'redistribution of wealth'.....the same thing Obama and Dims are pushing...

i'm very grounded in reality....this country is going down the shithole and we're turning into like a socialist shithole euro country....

and speaking of hyperbole you lefties are the grand masters....

Really,

Unregulated corporations forcing people to work for peanuts is somehow a good thing to you people. I support work and corporations but pure capitalism will always be evil, unmoral and wrong. Tell me how the little guy can have a voice up against billionaires??? Don't you understand history? I don't think so.

Sane moderates want international law upheld. Mass murder of civilians (tens of thousands dead) for over a decade in 6 different countries across two continents that were not involved with 9/11 is a crime of war. A war crime, in other words.

Immoral, and when unregulated it is. By its nature it is Amoral, and that is where the problems begin.

You need mental help. Obama has redistributed wealth, from the poor and working class to the already unbelievably wealthy.

How is that "Communism" in your mind?
