The Dems have been buying votes with tax dollars for years, Republicans have joined in at times so they can get elected too. When there are enough people being bought that they can out vote those who are paying the bill, the country is done for. For awhile the electoral collage has been saving us, there are a higher proportion of smart folks who live in the more rural States than in the completely urbanized places, but if you listen to the pollsters this year, everybody is loosing their mind.
Don't loose heart though, every presidential election in receint years the polls have been strongly in favor of the Dem before the real poll proves them wrong.
