On the topic of the apparent double standard of law-breaking, etc., the way
it was told to me once was like this:  Republicans usually campaign on
being law-abiding and cleaning things up so, when they do something bad,
they are being a hypocrit (sp?) which, in turn, gives the other side a ton
of ammo.  That is how the double standard comes about.  The standard is not
applied to the Democrats because they do not campaign the same way.

> 1. Their policies of Free Stuff;

Things are never really free.  Someone is paying for them.  Some folks who
qualify for the "free stuff" do not care who is paying for it.  They assume
it is a faceless corporation but, in most cases, the corporations are still
getting the tax breaks they always get no matter who is in office.  Chances
are the folks paying the most for the free stuff are the ones who are
working hard, paying their taxes, and trying not to become poor.

So, by promising and giving away free stuff, the Democrats are ensuring
that the groups that benefit from the stuff say in need (and indebted to
them), and they also bring more folks down into the cycle of requiring
things from the government to survive.  It is a legal way to BUY VOTES.

Depends on your state.  You'd have to check on that.  To be fair, the word
"impeach" was also trotted out during the Clinton years also.

I think a lot of "purple" states are like that. The bigger cities tend to
determine how the states votes go.  Kentucky is a state that
is traditionally very "local blue."  Democrats historically have
outnumbered Republicans 2 to 1 and, in some areas, Democrats only need win
a primary race as they always run unopposed in the Fall.

That said, many of them are conservative enough that the Democrats have
issues carrying the state.  When Clinton carried the state back in 1996, he
did so only because Louisville and Lexington, the two largest cities,
favored the Democrats heavily.  Nearly all of the rest of the state, minus
the capital, went overwhelmingly Republican.

I may be remembering that wrong... it may have been 1992 against Bush, now
that I think about it.

Anyway, I knew Hillary was in trouble when I learned that the capital went
blue for the first time in (probably) over 100 years.  The state went blue
enough to overcome Lexington and Louisville's votes.

That is a dumb thing to say but, as you point out, when you only have to
play to NYC, that probably works out.

I was born in the state I live in.  I would be pretty upset if our Governor
made a statement that made me feel unwelcome (especially since the current
one is not originally from here).  Good luck if you decide to pursure that
route.
