Subject: RE: BS: 2012 Presidential Election
There is a myth that studious, sincere Middle Class people study each candidate carefully and vote for the most qualified and capable ones.

That is pure bunk. People vote for their special interest groups and for the people who promise them what they want.

95% of Blacks voted for Obama because he is Black.

Many people believe that free health care is a birthright and they vote for Democrats.

Mexicans want amnesty for their people and unlimited immigration. They also vote for Democrats.

The unions give over 97% of their political contributions to Democrats and get the government they pay for. Democrats, essentially, sit down beside unions and fight against business. They also run most goverment entities and give unions boys whatever they can. The taxpayers are the losers here.

Republicans largely represent White folks, sincere Christians and the dwindling Middle Class.

Probably no way a Republican can ever live in the White House again unless there is a huge re-alignment such as happened in the election of 1932.
