Here is one kind of Dem voter
Using my reason and immense gray matter, I have determined only to vote for those who can give me stuff…basically those who steal for me…

Hmmm. Using my reason and immense gray matter, I have determined to only vote for those who give my company specific benefit – like medicare part d if I’m a pharma company, or TARP if I’m a bank, or defense contracts if I’m a defense company…
(I doubt those are dem’s making that argument.)
My point – people of both parties often vote with their bottom line in mind – whether it is business opportunities, tax policies, etc.
