[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1976986, member: 4319"] Not saying you can't. I'm saying the Republican rhetoric about "moochers" and "free markets" "socialism" gets really old, especially when the party position will always moderate after elections. Couple this with he fact red states are poor states, it annoys me. It also bugs me to see Romney explaining why his capital gains tax rates are fair and then see him win Arkansas and Oklahoma and Mississippi in landslides. Are these states voting for him because of his tax plan? No. OSA voters are, but OSA voters are not normal. We've done polls here which spending a lot of time on this site I don't doubt the results of...and many OSA members have incomes much higher than state average and college educations. OSA does not represent the average Okie or the average southerner. It annoys me to see Romney speaking at a fundraiser about the "47% who are dependent on government" when I live in Oklahoma and I've been to the south. I'm not implying the majority of GOP voters are on foodstamps/ Not implying the average GOP voters is poor (most poor people vote democratic...way more than vote republican) I'm implying the GOP would *not* be viable at all if not for poor people and poor states. And I'm implying reason the GOP has the votes of these poor people has [I]nothing[/I] to do with domestic economic platforms. [/QUOTE]
