We will never agree, we are 180 degrees apart. I will not attempt to change your mind. However, I am able to express belief of voting. I am of the belief that a vote should be for the betterment of our country, state, town. A vote should NOT be self serving for one's own interest. Obama phones, who is going to give me the most welfare, who will pay my medical, etc. As a result, an unemployable crack addict with 10 kids will vote to get the most "out of" the government, instead of what is right. IMO it is dead wrong for this person to have the same vote as a Congressional Medal of Honor winner. Also the reason virtually all large cities with large minorities vote Democrat. Jeff, when we had our conversations a few years ago, I identified you as a different person. I will not be fooled again.

Gary, thanks for the conversations. I have always sided with whoever is in office that supports organized labor... always. I have never voted for many Republicans for that very reason. You guys all know that. Organized labor was me and my family's standard of living. I don't want it to go away. And it will if left in the wrong hands. And I need healthcare. My medicine last month was 50 grand (I infuse myself). If the preexisting conditions went away, how would I pay that? I could live on welfare, let the Government pick up the tabs on Medicaid, but my standard of living would drop to what most welfare people have... nothing. They just exist. You think any sane person would voluntarily vote for that? I don't complain on how you vote. I don't accuse you guys of voting wrong. But keep in mind we all have different circumstances. Everybody votes their heart and let the chips fall where they may.
