31. Poverty Has Finally Caught Up to the Republican's

It's an interesting thread because we find ourselves living in a very interesting point in time. Doomsday planners building under ground bunkers, while the SP 500 set another high today. Oddly enough Tim Tebow is maligned for believing in God and as of today marijuana is legal in Illinois. Sp you have to wonder, when will Will Smith show up and defeat the aliens?
It seems poverty has caught up with the republican's. It took 50 years to see the result of low paying jobs and substandard education but now clearly these two factor's have played a part in the growing numbers of democratic voters. Much to the dismay I would imagine of the current republicans who have now lost two elections consecutively. It's just that easy.
