I understand the gov't must run a deficit, but this country has run a deficit since 2003; that's a problem. We have a national debt that's been going up ever since Reagan was in office; that's a problem. If you think that it's cool to run up debt, have a deficit for about 9 years and still believe that the economy will not be effected by those actions, then I have lakefront property in Kansas to sell you.

I take it you supported the #Occutards back in 2011?
Wow youre really changing the subjects haphazardly...it was Reagan, Bush and Bush who were spending freely in good economic times. I think the deficit should be reduced and spending greatly when the economy recovers and that has nothing to do with Maryland. WTF is an Occutard? Actually I dont want to know

So what about the debt? It's okay for us to run up debt and Occutards are the people who supported/participated in the whole Occupy Wall Street fad back in 2011.

3. Intelligent people boycott certain corporations and support others. You seem to want to make a strawman liberal to tear down than actually see how they are in real life.

You live in this state and enjoy its fruits yet don't want to pay taxes. Why not move to a conservative paradise like Mississippi rather than complain you want your goodies but don't want to pay for them?

Wow, you didn't even address the questions; you should run for political office.

Many Blacks that vote for Democrats only do so because Republicans disrespect them by calling Black people welfare cheats, slackers, and losers every four years to appeal to the bigots in their current base. If the Republicans ever wise up and learn that you can't insult and disrespect people and then expect them to vote for you they would cut into the African American and Hispanic voting blocks.
This is very valid. If the republicans dropped the racist platform from their party they probably could eventually win over many black voters. It will take some time if they stopped targeting blacks, as they are associated now with racist white old men, but in a decade they could win over black voters.

The issue still is many Black voters support unions and social spending, although culturally they may have conservative values when it comes to gay rights, religion, etc.
