re: #216 HappyWarrior

Again you are ignoring the question. We’re talking about voters who said that these were key issues to them yet they voted for the politicians that express the opposite opinion on said issue? Let me give you an example. Say you care about tax cuts. And you tell a pollster that’s one of your important issues. And then you went around and voted for a candidate who was expliclitly for tax increases. You don’t see the problem with that? Really, of course people don’t vote straight party line and I am not as angry as I come off. I am just dumbfounded because I don’t know what our fellow Americans actually want from our government.

I’m going to guess many Democrats decided they were going to sit this one out, many more Republicans did show up, but what pushed the votes over the edge were unhappy Independents.
