-Caveat Lector- Your Typical Democratic Voter Neal Boortz Thursday, Jan. 4, 2001 Has this ever happened to you? You're driving down the road when you come up behind a car with a Gore/Lieberman bumper sticker. As you pass, you sneak a quick glance at the driver. You want to see just what type of person wants to advertise advocacy of the concepts of big government and less personal freedom. You look at them and say to yourself, "What could they be thinking?" For most of these Democratic voters, the answer is "Nothing." They aren't thinking. They're reacting. We'll admit there are quite a few Democrats who do think. We can even read their thoughts. It's not hard to do. Here are some examples: I'm tired of taking care of myself. It's not fair to expect me to work hard to provide for my own needs. I'll vote Democratic and let them take care of me. Rich people get their money dishonestly. Democrats will get that money back from those evil rich people through high taxes and spend it on me. Guns cause crime, and Democrats want to take all the guns away. I also think wet streets cause rain. I'm a trial lawyer. Democrats won't allow any laws to be passed that might make it harder for me to get multimillion-dollar judgments from huge corporations for imagined wrongs and injuries. I'm black. Democrats are willing to validate my victim status. Some people who vote Democratic actually do put some thought into the matter, but they're in the minority. The truth is people who vote Democratic show a strong aversion to anything that resembles rational thought. Here's an example, a letter to the editor that recently appeared in the Atlanta Constitution written by a computer programmer named Stella Chamberlain: It's too bad that George Will's insightful column, "Bureaucratic zero-tolerance often arrests common sense" (Dec. 25), comes years too late. The groundwork for nabbing subway-snacking, Tweety-Bird-toting preteens was laid when the right wing impeached a president for a private relationship that had ended without injury to anyone. Had Hidden Law been applied to President Clinton, as it was to JFK and Rep. Henry Hyde, Americans would have been spared two years of incivility. A double standard is being perpetuated by Will's friends in the American Enterprise Institute: If a Democrat does something wrong, apply bureaucratic legalism - crucify him or her. If a Republican does it, apply Hidden Law - wink and call it a youthful indiscretion. Can anyone show me any hint of a rational thought process in this letter? This, my friends, is the typical Democratic voter. Chamberlain actually believes that Bill Clinton was impeached "for a private relationship." How in the hell can anyone of moderate intelligence, an ability to read and access to a newspaper not know that Bill Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, not for a private relationship? This was a man who swore to God that he would "uphold the laws of the United States" and then intentionally broke those laws. Sadly, Chamberlain probably does believe that Clinton was impeached because he fiddled around with Monica Lewinsky. This, my friends, is why she votes Democrat. In blunt terms, it's because she doesn't have a clue. What can the future of freedom be when there are people out there who "think" like this? Voting Breakdowns We now have more statistics from the presidential election. They may surprise you. Then again, maybe they won't. . Past winners of the Academy Award (movie stars, producers, directors) gave 40 times more money to Democrats and Greens than they did to Republicans. . Among the 15 percent of voters who make more than $100,000 per year, George W. Bush won only 54 percent of the vote. . Among the 4 percent of the electorate who describe their social status as "upper class," Al Gore won 56 percent to 39 percent. . Single people picked Gore over Bush, 58 percent to 37 percent. . Married people preferred Bush, 54 percent to 44 percent. . Single women chose Gore, 66 percent to 30 percent. . Married women's votes were split evenly between Gore and Bush. . Working women favored Gore by 19 points. . Stay-at-home women backed Bush by 20 points. . 80 percent of Jews gave their vote to the Gore-Lieberman ticket. . 70 percent of gays and lesbians pledged allegiance to Gore. The Hollywood numbers just confirm what we've known for years: Movie and TV luminaries have lots of money but not much brainpower. They have more money than sense - and they're perfectly willing to show compassion with someone else's money. And we also see why women simply don't need to vote. They'll come out in droves to support the candidate who promises to give them more security and less personal responsibility. They don't give a flying damn about freedom. Nor do the dependent classes. All they want is what they can get from the government. Democratic Sour Grapes Ohio Democratic Representative James Traficant is in a bit of a pickle. He committed the cardinal sin. He broke ranks with his party to back Republican Dennis Hastert for Speaker of the House. House Democratic Caucus rules prohibit members from helping a non-Democrat in a partisan election. The penalty for his transgression? The House Democratic Caucus voted last night to deny Traficant a seat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Laura Nichols, a spokesman for Dick Gephardt, said, "If he wants a committee assignment, he is going to have to go to the Republicans. He is no longer a member in good standing." Traficant has been somewhat of a maverick in the House. He has broken with party leaders on key House votes more frequently over the past few years. Now he's being declared persona non grata for daring to support Dennis Hastert over Dick Gephardt. What happened to all those Democratic promises of bipartisanship? Simple. They don't exist. "Bipartisanship" means Democrats getting what they want from the Republicans. It has nothing to do with cooperation.
