I dunno. I'm tempted to say anybody who works for any agency of government is automatically disqualified from voting.
In the case of the military, they may vote for a candidate who promises them more opportunities to kill people and blow things up (not that that's a bad thing). In my view, the basis for a war should be something greater than the fun it provides its prosecutors.
I could agree with that, but "serving your country" definitely has a different connotation to some of us.
Stange POV. Personally, I never knew a soldier that really wanted to go into a battle, or thought of it as "fun".
Ever been in combat yourself? Doesn't sound like you have ...
Now, you get above field grade rank, and into the "politician general" arena where you don't have to go into combat yourself, all bets are off.
Many of these guys are politicians, not soldiers, and just as chickenshit as a congressman ... more interested in serving themselves than their country.
I wonder if the decline corrrelates to the lizard-brain Republicans who ran the country between 1994 and 2008?
Or has superman Obama really managed to do so much evil in 11 months?
See if you can wrap your brain around that concept.
2000 and 2004 support your view on this.
See if you can wrap *your* brain around the facts:
LOL ... actually, the current situation has unarguably been been bought and paid for by 60 years of Democrat policies with nary a "lizzard brain Republican" around.
That's not the point ... as long as you idiots keep your divisive "Democrat vs Republican", "conservative vs liberal" bickering going, as you do above, those who want you divided so they can conquer you, will continue to do just that.
Wake up ....
Steven Crowder - now there's critical thinking for ya...
Thanks Swingman. What could I have been thinking all these years.
You seen New Orleans, Bubba?
Didn't think you could wrap yourself around the facts that were presented. i.e. that Detroit has been led by statist Democrats since 1961. Yeah, it's the Republicans' fault that Detroit is in the condition it finds itself. Went after the messenger instead.

Swingy, ah rectum that Señor Perineum might be a troll.
Please act accordingly.

Could it possibly be the "thinking" part that you've been stumbling over "all these years", Perry? :)
You have a happy and prosperous New Year, Perry ... it's been fun talking to you.
No, just the response thereto - and before you foam at the mouth I'll stipulate there was enough to go around for both parties. But few will ever forget "You're doing a heckuva job, Brownie." :-).
Nahhh... only a foolish few will remember the media blathering at a poor, defenseless, convenient target of opportunity. :)
More to my point ... FEMA will be the same, inept, bureaucracy regardless of which party is in power.
Having personally lost a home in a Gulf Coast storm, and being forced to deal with FEMA in the aftermath, I can assure you that neither "political persuasion", nor "parties" at any level, had any bearing on the typical inept bureaucratic "response thereto".
Now, and since you brought them up, if you've had _firsthand_ experience to the contrary with the FEMA bureaucracy, I, for one, would love to hear it? :)
What time frame are you talking about?

Oh, I think, "The system worked" has far eclipsed that.
