My brother works in Philly, and his co-workers are pro-life, pro-gun and pro-death penalty, but all vote democrat.
Which means they are stupid. But...You left-out a couple of other pros. They are pro-union, pro-welfare, pro-tax the “other” guy. Money trumps principle 9 times out of 10.
Your Philly phriends aren’t voting for the Democrat; they are voting against the Rich Republican Who Doesn’t Care About People Like Me. My father did it for 55 years, stopping when he died.
“My brother works in Philly, and his co-workers are pro-life, pro-gun and pro-death penalty, but all vote democrat.”
I am the same way, including pro-military, a TEA party supporter and haven’t voted for a rat in 30 years. Only thing is while I do not believe in gay marriage from the church, if gays want to have their civil unions at city hall and call it marriage, I couldn’t care less.
For that I am a liberal.
