March 5, 201511 yr They care about the environment more than the republicans. And that's it. What about workers' rights? It doesn't take a genius to understand that the Democratic Party is the party of the common working man/woman while the Republican Party is the party that best represents the interests of big business and Wall Street speculators.

You're entertaining but aren't you supposed to be posting in the "say something nice about a republican" thread? This one was for right wingers. I guess democrats can't follow directions?

I guess democrats can't follow directions? Already posted in the opposite thread. Here I was just prodding MtnRef to think beyond the borders ... to recall the long association between the Democratic Party and the working men and women of Eastern Kentucky.

Here I was just prodding MtnRef to think beyond the borders ... to recall the long association between the Democratic Party and the working men and women of Eastern Kentucky. He Dems have prodded the border so much it has cost the average working class person to have to help fund free health insurance an food to illegals. Not to mention who pays for the free phones. My insurance used to be good but now if sucks due to Ovamacare, I have took my kids to ER and have to pay an outrageous amount while others I know who have free health insurance are free. How te heck is that for the working man, all the Dems want to do is take from the working man and give it to the non working, lazy, or illegal man. I was better of with Bush as Pres.
March 5, 201511 yr I am calling out our right wing friends on BGP and seeing if they have the ability to make any kind of a positive comment about a Democrat. Can you do it? Is there one Democrat you can say good things about? I will start another thread for the Dems and ask them to do the same. They are not a Republican
March 5, 201511 yr Expect Democrats are losing the Middle class vote. The Dems lost the middle-class white vote big-time in '12. However, I look for Hillary to do better in '16 with this class of voters. Ran across the following stat today in a Washington Post story: Since 1996 with each presidential election the percentage of the white vote has declined on average 2.75 percent. That's really an amazing statistic. Bottom line: Unless the GOP can attract non-white voters, it will continue to lose presidential elections.

Against ANY opponent.
March 6, 201511 yr Hillary will not attract the middle class vote. Against ANY opponent. In 2012 Romney won the white vote by 20 points -- 59 to 39. Romney won the middle class vote ($50,000 to $90,000) by 6 points -- 52 to 46. Romney also won among independents 50-45. I believe I read somewhere that in any previous presidential election, those numbers would have easily carried him to victory. However, in 2012, Romney lost the electoral vote 332-206.
March 6, 201511 yr Democrats (generally) understand that giving people the right to decide if they want to gamble in a casino or buy a drink in their own county while may harm a tiny percentage of the population over all is good thing because it is giving the people freedom and liberty. Now, if Dems could just do the same when it comes to the second amendment.

Now, if Dems could just do the same when it comes to the second amendment. Kind of like when the voters in Calif voted NO to same sex marriages and the judges overturned and recalled the vote and did what they wanted to do. Your votes mean nothing.

Hillary will not get the votes Obama got. She's now the old establishment candidate so she won't rally the youth, the black vote, the Hispanics or the non liberal women vote. Obama kicked her butt just like he did Romney.
