    It happened to Senator Kennedy. That means it can happen to anyone.

    Yes, Hillary was picked by the DNC. . .but Democrats and other liberals have a mind of their own. . .as the latest polls show in both Iowa and New Hampshire! :wink:

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yes. . .and number 2 to 6 are welfare rolls in 5 RED states. . . .what is your point?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Sure. . .especially if they are from the GOP!

    I saw the same thing, the reality is that people who identify as either republican or democrat are at record lows, and those who identify as independent is at an all time high.

    Nice to see the conservative spin factory is still at work.

    You need to improve your reading comprehension! Hitler USED the Socialist party (which, in anyway, is different from the social democracy party) to get to power. . .then he DESTROYED that party to install his RIGHT WING fascist dictatorship.

    You really need to read with a goal to UNDERSTAND, not just to find "support" for your weird theories. . .you are missing the core of the story!

    Good points, that and how the SS was a very religious group. They would not admit an atheist because they didn't want people thinking for themselves. They also excluded Catholics, because they didn't want a Pope to overrule the SS leadership.

    It blows away all the lies that conservatives have been espousing for years that Hitler and the SS were atheists, and left wing.

    I did not made a point, you've made a point that the most food stamps recipients are all in the Red States. Turned out, most food stamps recipients are in 4 of the top 6 States... did you bother to read the article in the link you yourself provided? Doubt it...

    Really? I guess once again, you picked and chose what you WANTED to read!

    How about this:

    By the way, out of the 7 States listed in the other source (USAtoday), FIVE are Red States, and only one is Blue state, while Oregon LEANS Blue.

    I imagine many democrats don't want to identify with the wimps that now make up the bulk of their party.

    And, obviously, even fewer Republicans want to identify with the extremism, war mongering, and bigotry of their party!

    How does your post still not explain why you will still vote for ANYBODY the GOP gives you in November to vote for? You will gladly vote for ANYBODY the GOP has on the ticket like a good lock-step supporter of the GOP party.

    I've voted for Democrats lots of times. Much current Mayor is a democrat I voted for. Of the democrats would nominate a moderate I might vote for them but it's always one loon after the other.

    He is running for the Democratic Party nomination, so he is just doing as expected.

    Maybe we do. . .but the "wimps" will not drive us to 14 year wars, especially illegal wars, and will not try to impose their religions and their bigotry on others!

    It is nice to see that independents are the majority. Not sure how one can see the democrat numbers down by 5 as the party destroyed.

    This is such bull(*)(*)(*)(*). Welfare is not the measure of the flow of federal dollars in and out of a state. Your charts are determined primarily by the amount of federal land and federal employees (as in military bases) in any given state. Retarded comparison you made.

    Wally. We choose our candidate at the end of the process, not the beginning. :clapping:

    Indeed, I see it as a choice between two evils where I pick what I perceive as the lesser evil.

    I am. . .that's why I won't vote for Hillary. I also totally dislike and distrust Debbie Wasserman Schultz and I have no warm and fuzzy feelings for either Reid or Pelosi. But NONE of the Republicans are any better in my opinion.

    But I respect Obama and Biden. I still believe that Obama has done an amazing job with the crap he inherited, and in spite of the blockade by the GOP.

    I trust in Sanders' integrity, and even the nastiness that is now being thrown at him by the Hillary Campaign are more of a statement that he is a really good guy, since that is all they can find in 40 years of public life to go after him!

    Welfare is indeed PART of the feds dollars that other states who do not have as much welfare and as heavy a "government print" as most RED states!

    You may not like it. . .but it is indeed what Forbes and Business Insider look at! :smile:

    I have a brother that claims to be democrat on the time tested bases that if you make less than 400k, you have to be democrat. For some reason, he ignores all the rich dems in office.
