They are pandering to the...[race based voter]...and poor urban vote [race based again]. They are the party of wannabe-socialists. They are the party of the Unions. The poor and working class are looking to the liberal/progressive party for their salvation.
You are correct, but you forgot how the new liberal/progressive ran democrat party also targets females and pits them against whoever is running against the dems.
The democrat party went far left when the mcgovern kids took it over, so it no longer represents the working man and woman....unless they are in a union/govt union. If they are in one, then they are just an appendage of the new democrat party.
The only thing the new democrat party can do is steal/confiscate/skim monies from other people and give it out to their friends, political appendages/organizing groups, and provide programs/cash/jobs to just enough poor minorities to keep them firmly on the democrat party's plantation.
The democrat party has destroyed the black family, three generations worth and is continuing that fine tradition.
The democrat party's support of teachers unions has kept public schools churning out kids clueless in math, the hard sciences, who have trouble with writing simple papers, organizing their thoughts, much less spelling and punctuation. A lot of the kids being turned out are little more than failed social experiments, but they'll be dependent upon government aid/programs.
The private sector unions are becoming obsolete and due to their rules, bankrupting businesses that are forced to employ them, thus government is having to bail them out...or whole cities/states (detroit, california). And public sector unions are raping the taxpayers, the working man and woman, and with places like wisconsin, the high property taxes also rape the working poor as they pay for it in a portion of their rent.
The new democrat party targets hispanics/women in the hope of making them dependent upon the government programs/jobs/cash. But just like some people are finding out, there's no such thing as "free health care"--someone's gotta pay for it. That's the problem with socialism--you eventually run out of other people's money. Or businesses when they move to a different city, state, or even country.
The GOP has been run off of the tracks by the affluent and pseudo-evangelicals.
I guess I need to get around more, but the conservatives I know aren't affluent, or pseudo-evangelical, whatever that is.
You must hang around different conservatives than I do and have.
What I find interesting is, take a place like portage. The people in that area are very poor, working class poor. They get the obama taxed out of them and almost all of that goes to (affluent) liberal/progressive madison and feeds the economy of that government ran city. And the people (liberal/progressives) in madison really look down on the prople living in and around a place like portage as being "uneducated", stupid, backwards, etc. Yet they have absolutely no problem stealing money from them so they can live their affluent lifestyle.
