Why People Vote Democrat: Emotion and Greed

October 21, 2014 by V the K

Bill O’Reilly is an obnoxious blowhard, but every once in a while, he gets something right.

Bill O’Reilly found it hard to believe that despite so much public opposition to the direction the country’s going in, there are still people who support the Democrats. But he believes he knows the reason why: “emotion.”

O’Reilly explained, “Democrats have been very successful in convincing some voters that the Republican Party favors the rich and is anti-woman.”

And for those who are too smart or too informed to buy the Democrats’ bullsheet rhetoric about Republican “hatred” of women, gays, immigrants, and minorities… the Democrats provide another rationale: Straight up greed.

“If you’re voting for the country, then you would be less likely to support the Democrats. But if you’re voting just for yourself and what you can get from the government, the option the Democrats provide, continued entitlements, is attractive.”

Or, as I put it, “We will take money away from people you don’t like and spend it on you.”

And everyone from crony billionaires like Tom Steyer and George Kaiser  down to the Obamaphone lady want a piece of that.

    It’s quite simple: Hope and Change was opium for the liberal masses, and 6 years later they are all strung out.

    Leftists think its fair that 1/3 of US workers supports 2/3 of the US population with taxpayer paid benefits.

    One of the biggest lies democrats sell is that the COP is only for the wealthy. The super wealthy (the Buffets and Soroses and Hollywood elite) vote along with the poor.

    The people in middle vote TOP-the people who high income tax rates harm the most (the super wealthy don’t gave much income-they live off their wealth and they are able to shelter and protect it better than the guy who runs his own business or works for somebody else).

    The people who vote dem are in the bottom and top quintiles.

    Add envy and resentment too. If they can’t have what you worked hard to get, then you deserve to have it taken from you because ‘it’s just not fair for some to have that kind of money’. Family members have told me this. And when I point out that so-and-so put in above and beyond time, blood, and treasure, they didn’t care.

    Oh, and laziness. They don’t want to do what it takes to make themselves secure beyond tomorrow. They want others to take care of them. So they jump when some corrupt politician tells them it’s possible. Family members have also said, ‘We as a society have to take care of one another’. Um…okay, then do what I do, donate time, money, and whatever it takes to charity. But no, they won’t do that because it requires something from them and why should they give anything to other lazy SoBs. They put in minimum effort and expect everything in return while continuing the same bad behavior that put them in a hole to begin with. They’ve taken full advantage of the array of welfare benefits – because it is owed them, and milked financial help from other family members and get angry when someone reminds them they have debts to repay – because it is owed them that you should forgive those loans. Because family helps family (which is always a one way street).

    I missed the show last night. Democrats never earned loyalty, they bought it! From the New Deal of FDR, they have created an underclass of takers, who have accepted that they are victims. The government will keep you from the cradle to the grave, was the promise of LBJ. Lincoln emancipated the slaves, but the Democrats sent them back to the plantation, and “massa” Obama is content to leave them there, by piling on more social programs. Why exert energy working, when just about anything I could ever want is available for the asking? Subsidized public housing, food, bought with a plastic card instead of food stamps, giving me dignity, and PC prevents people from criticizing me. Sadly that is the base of the Democrat Party. God forbid that we should put a term limit on welfare. So many have lost the sense of earning a living and being productive a productive member of society, and are happy that we conservatives are such a**holes to work and allow our tax dollars to maintain the large majority to enjoy the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed.
