You Yanks are tough to figure out. Why the affinity for Democrats? It's not like the Democrats have come to the table with a single big idea since Hillary's 1993 Healthcare nationalization fiasco.At least down here in the South - Democrats have some Rebel, state's rights champions (or pretenders) amongst their ranks to justify a perverted "vote for my state" sort of attitude, but up North, I just don't see even that sort of flimsy excuse to vote for them.
But then again, the national affinity for Democrats has always perplexed me. Democrats are pro-abortion, yet Catholics like them. Democrats favor racial quotas (ala Affirmative Action) and oppose school-choice vouchers, yet minorities stuck in lousy school districts like them. Democrats love the UN as well as national minimum wage laws, yet "State's Rights" supporters seem to like them. Democrats oppose creating new jobs by drilling in the ANWR, yet unions like them. Democrats kiss Yassir Arafat's wife yet many Jews like them.
It boggles the mind...
