This is a hot topic. I used to be a Democrat, but now I am an Independent/Republican. Back in my Democratic days, I was always thinking about what this country could do for me. How much money would this country give up and how could I ease by without too much work. I remember being a big Bill Clinton fan. Especially when he showed up on Arsenio Hall. To this day he is still referred to as the 1st black President! . I believed that those that have should give to the have-nots. The have-nots are just as deserving and should be given a hand up into the upper echelon of society.
Another factor that contributed to my party designation was my family. All I would here is how Democrats will help "our" people. They are going to (once again) give us something that would benefit us.
Another factor is the media. Big network companies that control the news and radio are pushing for their candidate whether deliberately or sub-consciously. Back in 2004; my home state newspaper ran a cover of Kerry and Bush. Kerry's picture showed he was on the go, motivated, and high spirited. The picture was very nicely done. Then they showed Bush in a solemn mood, disheveled, and woeful. Fast forward again to Katrina and you recieve comments from Kanye West stating that "Bush don't like black people." And as we come to current events. The Iraq war has taken a toll on the American people. Political candidates have made a case to end the war. Not many people understand why we are in Iraq today. The death toll climbs and politicians use this news as reasons to vote Democrat. The other is Health care which is an enormous burden on every American. A "free" health care system sounds good. Those are a couple of reasons that a WF member may vote Democrat.
