They should at least vote Independent, or green party, or someone who represents their interests. The Repubs. are leading everyone to the slaughter, all voters need to think outside the box to survive.

The question really is how fast do we get to the slaughter, as the dems are fullspeed ahead,and the repubs are going at a slower pace to the slaughter. I have become more inline with either the Constitution party or in some ways the libertarian party. I agree a third or even fourth party choice would be better than the 2 current main parties!
I think it is kind of neat that the Democrats support the poor while the Republicans support the rich. The problem is the people in the middle pay for both.
Thank you so much for posting this comment! This is the problem that no one seems to address; I am about as liberal as they come, but, I am not a democrat. I am an independent. I also am a member of the middle class- some would say upper middle to affluent middle class, but, middle class none the less. My life's work has been defending and fighting for the underpriveledged, and the oppressed, however, at the end of the day- no one is fighting for myself and my husband, nor is anyone representing us. The latest movement , the Occupy movement is the first that I can identify with as standing up for people like me, as it encompasses the whole 99% of us.
An overwhelming proportion of those below poverty line consistently voted Republican, if you drive through parts of the south, (particularly West NC,Kentucky,etc.) die-hard old school Democrats have been replaced with Republican supporters who live in trailers. They vote on only 2 isssues that I can see; guns and abortion, none of them seem to work,so I guess the economy isn't relevant to them?
Not all poor people want to live off government handouts. Poor people living in trailers often work for a living and have too much pride to want food stamps and handouts.
Because they're told that every election is about guns, God and gays.
And they do as they're told.
They're also told that God will judge them for their actions (nothing new)and include "voting" as one of those actions. If that isn't spiritual intimidation, I don't know what is.
The Republicans get the poor Christians on social issues. They play the racist, anti-abortion, anti-gay, and anti-woman card in the name of Jesus . To them, these are the people who are America's greatest enemy (Taliban, what's that?) Just go online and look up Sally Kern who keeps getting re-elected in Oklahoma. I only wish I was making this up.
Because they put their morals before a buck! There is no sin in being poor..
