Will GOPPERS Who Lost Their Unemployment Insurance Still Vote GOP?

[TheMastersNemesis]

Or will they blame Obama and the Dems?. A lot of the most severe unemployment still remains in states controlled by GOPPERS or districts that have GOPPER reps and Senators.

I keep hearing it will still be a tough year for Dems and that they will not take back the House and may even lose the Senate. I am not sure if it is all MSM propaganda to discourage the vote and help GOPPERS or if the trends are real. If it is true that the Dems face tough sledding you wonder what the HELL are people thinking? GOPPERS should be in a situation that they will be flushed down the toilet everywhere.

North Carolina blatantly reveals how the GOP will govern nationally. One would think that it would swing blue despite all the election rigging.

1. The msm will play it up to be Obamas fault

Sure they will continue on their road to decline.

2. I sense that they will continue

to remain in denial and vote GOP-Teabgger Tickets.

They have no idea that they need to research the political issues ...they just follow the Pi-pipers of Foxx News Entertainment and company which fuels hate.....spews lies and propaganda and ultimately control the less informed.

3. I Will Never Understand Such Profound Mental Dislocation. It Truly Is Insanity At Its Best.

Anecdotally when I worked at a homeless shelter in the 1990's I remember one election cycle where one of my long term homeless day laborers said he was voting GOP for president. That admission really stunned me. And I would bet a few of the other homeless people I knew were voting Republicans.

I also have a friend who used to work for the county employment office after he retired from Colorado DOL. He used to get GOPPERS in who blamed Obama for losing their jobs. The problem was that they lost their jobs when Bush was president when the recession started. Such mentality was quite common where he worked because that country was very GOP.

How can a person be so deluded unless they are nuts in some way?

4. The right wing media propaganda is very powerful

and obviously effective. It's almost impossible to turn this around regarding those who have drank the koolaide from the cult.

Another source of powerful misinformation propaganda would be the religious right. These two elements, Foxx and company and the religious right have infected our country. They coven teabagger politicians who in turn cut public school funding and promote home schooling wherein the controlled message can be just that...controlled. They do much more than I have shared at the moment but you get my sense of vision.

16. Right after the Iraq war started

One of my crazy neighbors was ranting how the Democrats got us in this stupid war!? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

5. If their pastors tell them to, yes. nt

[Mike Nelson]

6. Yes, they will, and...

...they will blame Obama. They also believe the Middle East Wars and US economy were doing well until Obama took over... they are seriously duped.

[liberal N proud]

7. Yes, they will

They will vote GOP and they will blame Obama.

Nothing will change, they vote for their fantasies and not reality.

Their fantasies have them in the places of the 1% and not realizing that their votes keep them from ever being able to achieve those fantasies.

8. Of course. Voting GOP is the only way to get this country "back on track".

[JaneyVee]

9. No. They only get empathy when something finally directly impacts them.

10. I know many CA dems out of work

But it's CA so if they don't vote it most likely won't matter.

[n2doc]

11. I suspect most wont vote at all

They will be too busy trying to survive, or get screwed out of their right to vote.

[AlinPA]

12. Yes. They have blinders on their eyes, and Fox 'news' in their heads.

[11 Bravo]

13. Well, seeing as there are gay and Afrian-American Republicans, it's certainly possible.

[JoePhilly]

14. They'll claim it ran out because minorities who didn't deserve it took it.

15. People on unemployment insurance want JOBS...

The GOP runs on the claim that Democratic party policies kill jobs and keep new ones from coming back. It's effective because so far our Party's main plan for creating jobs seems to be endlessly extending unemployment benefits and hoping that if we only do exactly the same thing long enough it will eventually have some kind of effect. In other words, BOTH PARTIES are looking to the exact same group -- business owners -- to create jobs. Both support the free trade that is actually killing our jobs here.

So yes, some will continue to vote GOP, and until we offer something DIFFERENT they will continue to do so.

Right now the major difference between the two is Social Conservatism. When it comes to War, Drones, Trade, Domestic Spying, Taxes, Austerity, Defense Spending, Social Security and Entitlements, there isn't more than a sliver's practical difference between the average member of either party. And the GOP party leadership knows it just as well as our guys do, they are all bought and paid for by the exact same business interests, so of course they know it.
