WHY DO SOME WORKING CLASS PEOPLE VOTE NEoCON YET NEOCONS SUPPORT PLUTOCRACY?
545502
THEY ARE PROGRAMMED TO BELIEVE THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY REPRESENTS EVERYDAY WORKING CLASS PEOPLE.  WHEN EVERYBODY THAT HAS EVERYDAY WORKING CLASS COMMON SENSE KNOWS THAT THE REPUBLICANS REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE BIG CORPORATIONS THAT HATE EVERYDAY WORKINGCLASS PEOPLE.  THE NEOCONS SUCK UP BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE GOING TO GET A HANDOUT THAT NEVER WILL COME.

Republicans believe that poor people have too much money, and rich people do not have enough.  So they support cutting taxes, as well as cutting benefits for poor people.  \n\nDemocrats believe the opposite.  So they support raising taxes, and raising benefits for poor people.

It's a paradigm issue. Democrats tend to believe in the social contract, that we are stronger as a nation when we empower each other and conduct our government for broad social benefit rather than for individual benefit. Republicans, on the other hand, operate from a lower level of human development where individual empowerment means "survival of the fittest", "a sucka's born every minute", "dominion over the planet means plunder rather than guardianship", "them first so that their "superior" genes survive", genecide, rigging elections, lying and torture are ok if it means their survival" sort of reasoning and so-called "values". They have never believed in the American Dream. Since the beginning of this democracy, the dream to be free and have a fair chance has been under attack by the Conservative's belief system. Republicans and Conservatives do not believe in the U.S. Constitution, unless it serves their self-interests. They have never been real Americans. Real Americans believe in free speech. Conservatives do not. Real Americans look out for each other's rights in our pluralistic society. Conservatives do not. Conservatives do not care for anyone but themselves and their own viewpoints, their own religions, their own bank accounts. That is their platform. They would have the rest of us put down like animals or enslaved if they could get away with it. They are not believers in the common good. They plunder, even from the weak. They do not care about their own neighbors or their own communities or people who are different than they are. They prefer to live in gated communities and build massive fences and walls. They relentlessly strive to disenfranchise as many people from the American Dream as possible. They fought against Americans who wanted slavery abolished. They fought against black Americans who wanted to vote. They fought against female Americans who wanted to vote. They fought against Americans who wanted to keep church and state separate. They fought against older and disabled Americans who wanted American public restrooms and sidewalks to accomodate wheelchairs. They fought against American workers who wanted a decent minimum wage and a forty-hour work week. They fight to this day against poor people by refusing to raise the minimum wage yet voting themselves raises in legislative bodies. They fought against American children and forced them to work like slaves in factories and mines. They fought against American children and spent our money making arms dealers rich while taking money away from the public school system. They fought against working American mothers who needed equal pay and decent childcare. They fought against hungry American babies and slashed preschool nutrional programs for the poor. They fought against pregnant poor Americans and slashed prenatal care programs. They fought against American healthcare professionals who were struggling to stop the spread of AIDS and they blocked the distribution of condoms that would have saved millions of American lives. They fought against American homosexuals who wanted to be able to rent a house or an apartment and live together in peace. They fought against American police organizations that pleaded for a ban on the guns that slaughter police officers and over 40,000 Americans every year. They fought against Americans who tried to protect the environment and people from pollution and poisons that are being put in the air and water, by conservatives, mostly. They fought against every American in court who has struggled to protect our freedom of speech. They fight against Americans who want the Internet to remain free. They fight against Americans who want peace and they fight to protect their right to profit from war. They fought against a common ground like this Yahoo site, a common ground where people from all tribes and nations of the world could gather and share ideas and

lol, I guess you have heard a response from a liberal, and I'll bet he is in a union.  I'm curious, how many times has he responded, "thats not my job!", when he is at work.  I'll refrain from telling the half a dozen negative stories regarding unions.\n\nAs for your answer, you seem to be making a point that in the middle is the way to go, which I agree with for the most part.\n\nYou say the right wing wants economic gaps.  I disagree with that.  The right, or conservative view, says if you work, you should be rewarded.  It is not a seperation of class, as you put it.  It is more about people doing something to better themselves, and be rewarded for it.\n\n The left wing, or liberals, aka. socialists, want to take what the workers have earned, and split it among everyone, including those who do not work.  These people do not work because they know that someone else will, and they will still get their share.  \n\nYou may often hear arguments such as, "ten percent of the people control 90% of the wealth".  I don't know how accdurate those numbers are, but I certainly am not one of those 10% of people.  I do know, however, that if I want a piece of that wealth, I can not sit on my butt and wait for my 'share' to get handed to me.  I have to go out and earn it.

Because either people are apathetic, or, they are hypnotized by these  crooked politicians.  Very few of us are immune  to it. I am one. I do not vote for those who want to rule for  a 2nd or 3rd term or beyond. They have gotten rich enough, and don't need any more of my money.

One of the communist party's objectives in the middle 1960's was to infiltrate the American education system.  If you ask me they have succeeded.  Our education system is full of socialists and communist apologists.  They try to brainwash you by making you feel inferior if you challenge their ideas.  Unfortunately, many young Americans fall for their hogwash and carry those ideas on into maturity.  Thankfully, experience drives intelligent people towards the conservative perspective.  You know what they say, "if you are not a liberal when you are young then you have no heart and if you are not a conservative when you are old then you have no brain".

Take the working poor for example. Say you work at Wal-Mart, or even for local factory. Your boss is a business owner. He's looking for ways to pay you less money, cut your benefits, cut back on work safety laws (they keep you from being injured, but cost him money) and ways to end overtime pay. The republican party is the party that's going to help him get these laws passed, while the Democrats are trying to pass laws to protect your wages, benefits, etc. So what does he do come election time? He starts telling his workers that if the Democrats get elected, that there is no way he can stay in business without big layoffs. Even though he's been in business for 70 years, with many Democratic Presidents running the show. Now these working poor are sacred to death of loosing their lively hood, so with the threat of financial ruin, they vote for the republicans. So basically, the republicans use lies & false threats to get elected, the same system they use to start wars.

And they would say the same about people who vote for democrats. A frivolous question.

You silly thing.  We support the IDEALS of the conservative movement.  Less government involvement, free trade, family values and less taxes followed by a strong national defense.  Just because we got a bad lot that lots of us agree probably got what they deserved doesn't mean our ideals of the conservative movement has changed.\n\nPart of making your party stronger is finding the problem and correcting it.  Is that cut-and-running? or is evolution? (thru you off there didn't I).  \n\nSo, at the end of the day why wouldn't I support those who have the same ideals and values as me?  Pelosi doesn't represent my ideals anymore than Delay does one stands for many things I completely disagree with and one is a complete fraud who I cannot support because my values dictate that I cannot.  \n\nThis wasn't an election to PROVE that conservative movement is dead.  It was an election about getting rid of those who didn't do their jobs either by a large number of democrats voting and a large number of republicans not voting or switching their votes in defiance.\n\nPelosi fixes the world still won't change what our values and ideals are that's just silly.  You one an election not the case against conservatism.

well, REAL Republicans will seek to work with their fellow Americans for the betterment of our country.  the neoCONNED, on the other hand, will never ever give up their venomous attacks, projecting the failures of their ideologies onto others.  if they did they'd have to take responsibility for their failures and they simply can not do that.  too uncomfortable.

Never was a "neocon".  Was a proud Republican until they started going off the wall.  \n\nCan't call myself a Democrat either.  For the time being I'm a man without a party.  \n\nIf elections were held today, would likely vote Democratic but that would simply be a protest vote against a once proud party that has been hijacked by the neocons you refer to.

Despite the usual trashy answers from the unintellegent \nones out there,I will try to answer that question,\nI am working class,not middle class,people have voted B.N.P.\nas a protest against the corruption and hypocracy of the other parties.Also the average English person is sick and tired of accepting people from everywhere,most of them have payed nothing into the state and live on handouts,this is\nthe main reason that people voted B.N.P.,not because of any \nbelief in there policies,I myself did not vote B.N.P.,but they are still a legitimate political party,they are entitled to thier views like anyone else in England,thats democracy

Because they are lazy, and don't think it matters.\n\nFor all those out there who think so, here's a quote(I haven't a clue who by)\n\n"Bad men are elected by good people who don't vote".\n\nIf you didn't vote, don't grouse if you don't like who your neighbor picked.

Democrat.  No.  Socialism does not work.  Neither does conservatism, which is one of the greatest scourges of human history.  Extremism is always bad for America.  That is why Democrats have been willing to fight fascists and communists alike, when Republicans would - and did - cut and run, and why Democrats have always supported the operations in Afghanistan.  "Of the people, by the people, for the people" is not a socialist tenet; how far Republicans have fallen from the height Abraham Lincoln set them upon!  Democrats won't turn America socialist; the idea that they would is just one of the many lies told by conservatives for the past hundred years or so.  For all their supposed morality, conservatives have proven to be the most corrupt and immoral of all; before Mark Foley there was Sulla of Rome.

A neoconservative isn't a conservative at all. Neoconservatives believe in an all powerful government which intercedes in the lives of all its citizens on behalf of big business and extreme right-wing religous zealots. The economic and military conquest of the planet is the ultimate goal of Neoconservatives by any means necessary.\n\nPaleoconservatives, or traditional conservatives, if you prefer, believe in small central government with the majority of power given to individual states and municipalities, minimal government spending, and the idea that the government should stay the hell out of people's personal lives.

Of course people support their beliefs, but don't be too stereotypical.  There are plenty of hard working Hispanic small business owners that don't want higher minimum wage, don't want more taxes or government regulation getting in thier way of success.  And there are plenty of uneducated poor white people who's children choose military service because they have no other options.

democrats used to stand for the working class - the tried and true american while the repiublicans for the "rich".  that, however is no longer the case.  the democrats stand for the hand outs - keeping people in the same rut instead of getting them off their butts and helping them up from the poverty or low income levels.  the republican's are now standing for what the dem's used too - conservative values.  i think to my grandfather - staunch union worker and democrat. he would be utterly dusgusted with the fact that the dem's are so liberal in the values and cut and run tactics in the war on terror.
