I learned about the Democrats during the LBJ times. Democrat's love wars to keep the funding dollars coming in. They can count on the free state army vote too as they always throw a few food scraps from their tables via food stamps. Ask your local Democrats about this and you will hear twist and spin. One might think on a local level with the amount of young male Granite City citizens things might be different but for some reason on election day they are not. One has to consider though the voting block of the Free State Army.
