Why would someone vote Republican if you are not rich?

[RebOver]

My experience has been that a Liberal Democrat will be the aggressor in a political discussion, more emotional and ready to condemn and label a person than to consider their perspective. To belittle someones opinion is weak and hypocritical. To be condescending and to misrepresent yourself as a sage with 'facts' that are no more than generalized opinion is bullying. Knock it off and grow up.

I love CT but I hate the taxation that goes on there.

Well stay in NC

where taxes in the end are the same or not more. And the quality of life is severely less.

Because there are a lot of people with weak minds and/or little education who easily fall for propaganda from the government and outlets like FoxNews.

There area also a lot of cowardly folks out there who are afraid of gays, immigrants, feminists, whatever-- who believe the republicans will save them from these "evils." Republicans could really care less about this and use this hatred as a way to get voters to put them into positions of power where they will enrich their cronies to the detriment of everyone else.

Very well said. And it is so evident in the post in this thread!
