Why Does Anyone Vote for Democrats ?

That's hardly shocking since you aren't interested in the truth either...

You wouldn't know the truth if it was packaged in a metal box, and it fell on your head.

Ouch! but if the truth is the prize in the Cracker Jack box, the
winning sticker on a Big Mac, or the fortune in a yummy cookie,
maybe that might be received better than hitting someone over the head with a heavy box. Oucheeeeee!!!

Why Does Anyone Vote for Democrats ?

For both prosperity and security.

For decades, since 1993, the United States has prospered under Democrats, and suffered terribly under the GOP.

U.S. President William Jefferson Clinton had the most prolonged stretch of prosperity and growth in U.S. history.
He was replaced by a Republican, under whom we suffered the worst terrorist attack on the U.S. homeland in U.S. history, the worst economic decline since the great depression, and were losing ~800K private sector jobs per month as he was leaving office.
Republicans pretend to be conservatives. But Bush / Cheney / Paulson implemented a $700 $Billion $Dollar $TARP program; not geared to rescue the U.S. economy. Instead merely intended to prop up our economy long enough to keep it afloat until the 3 of them could get out of town, dump their red hot DC disaster potato into the Democrat's lap.

They did.

And Obama has handled it masterfully. We're in solid growth. Obama hasn't started any huge Middle East land wars the way Bush did.

We prosper in peace under Democrats.
That's why!

“... Reince Priebus, the Republican National Chairman today said that 300K jobs ... aught to be expected every month ... and just a historical perspective:

- during the 8 years of President Bush (younger) there were 2.1 million net jobs created in the United States. Of the 2.1 million, 1.8 million of them were in the public sector ... that means there were 300,000 jobs in the private sector in 8 months, in 8 years rather, net ... more jobs have been created in the United States in the last 4 years than in Europe, Japan, all the industrialized modern world combined. ... 70 years since WWII. 36 years of Republican presidents, 34 years of Democratic presidents. In those 70 years, there were 36.7 million jobs created under Republican presidents ... a little over half the time. In 34 years there were 63.7 million created by Democrats. That's 29 million more. You know, perhaps it's an accident once, or twice or what. But I mean at some point the Democrats ought to be comfort in the fact that they have been better the economy and job creation than have been the opposition.
... It's 15 years since we've had 10 consecutive months of over 200,000 [job growth]. Just 15 years ago there was a fella from Arkansas ... there were more jobs created in Bill Clinton's 8 years than there were in Ronald Reagan's 8 years, and the 12 years of both Bush's combined. I mean 6 million more jobs created in those 8 years, ... policy does kick in, & is reflected in the results.” Mark Shields

In the past few decades, we have suffered terribly under Republican administration.
