Yes, yes, and yes, because they are good for the country, as opposed
to the policies of 'Bama, who is interested only in bigger, less
efficient government. Look at downtown Detroit. The mayor is a
Democrat. That is a good example of what 'Bama would like this country
to become.
There, now sleep well.
Speaking of Detroit, here's some interesting stats you might want to
look at.

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same
thing over and over again and expecting different results.'
It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats---yet they are still
POOR!
"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot
strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about
prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up
by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of
man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage
by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help
people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do
for themselves."
Abraham Lincoln
