Republicans tend to be farmers and small business owners who are willing to risk it all on their own endeavor. If they make it they win and some win big. Democrats tend to go into safe areas or join unions where they feel safe. Often they can get paid for doing nothing working for the government or working as a union boss or a leftist attorney that acts like a barnacle on the ship of progress. If you can hinder progress you call yourself a progressive. Right now the productive portion of society is getting killed. The only place where real estate is soaring is around Washinton. This place is awash in cash as more and more barnacles attach themselves to the ship. But what happens when the ship goes down? People like Obama who have never had a productive job will move to France. That is where all the money that gets stolen in Haiti goes. The sad thing is it was our money.
"The important differential between left and right is the mass of the electorate that put them in power"
So much for an educated electorate.

BTW: That might be the best I have ever heard it described.
And you are right - I seldom like who I have to decide on. It explains why I would really appreciate having Reagan Back. I would take a JFK or Eisenhower also. A Daniel Webster type in Congress would be nice.
