The Democrats: Taking Your Vote For Granted
It seems things are getting interesting surrounding the continuing soap opera that is the Democrats on the City-County Council.
It seems the Democrats don’t care about political fallout. The Democrats take YOUR votes for granted. The Democrats are not concerned over the controversies surrounding the corrupt Monroe Gray, anti-police Doris Minton-McNeill, and now Paul Bateman. The Democrats consider if you’re a minority, poor, working class, a union member, or an alternate lifestyle you will always vote Democrat and you don’t know any different. Therefore, they don’t need to work to get your vote, nor be concerned over who they appoint into various elected offices.
It appears the [Indianapolis] City-County Council Democrat Caucus holds the opinion embattled councilor Doris Minton-McNeill has no intention of ever making a public statement concerning her arrest. The Democrat Caucus feels her conduct is none of her voters business and know her voters always vote Democrat no matter how poor of an example or poor quality of leadership the candidate or office holder possesses.
Isn’t it amazing how the Democrats claim to help the poor, when in fact they work to keep people impoverished through economy strangling taxes and job killing over-regulation. They believe poor people always vote Democrat, and the more people they keep poor, the more people vote Democrat and keep them in power. Thanks, LBJ, for cursing this nation with the biggest vote buying scheme ever created - The Great Society.

This does not surprise me at all. The day the democrats come out and admit their wrong….well that will be the day H*** freezes over!

And the very, very sad thing is, like Jen says, these “lemmings” will continue to vote democrat no matter what. It doesn’t matter how inept, crooked, stupid, or inarticulate their candidate is; as long as they are a democrat, they will vote for them.
How very, very sad.

I heard a wise man once say, “if you get your power from a particular group of people, you want as many of them as possible.”
Just to use an example: The United States has the highest corporate tax rate in the world. People want to “soak the rich” and the big “evil” corporations but then complain when they take their headquarters, jobs and manufacturing elsewhere. If you really want to ensure a good job for anyone who wants one, you want a frictionless economy that every business in the world wants to put their next plant or office in the middle of.
It is absolutely a widely accepted perception that it doesn’t matter who is on the ballot as a Democrat, large blocks of voters will automatically cast their votes for them. Even when Democrats get in trouble in office they almost always linger there and when Republicans (I’m not one of those either) get in trouble they are drummed out of town very publicly.
