Peaches, I appreciate your input. I do know that there are some Republican voters in the city, but you and I know that when the five boroughs are accounted for in full, the Democrats have a big edge.
As far as any puzzlement regarding Bush, who knows how a leader will react when less than a year into his term, America's worst single day happens? I can't recall a President during my lifetime who made the right decisions all the time. Nor when I think back into history.
I respect divergent views, truly, but when someone makes such rude statements about hoping the President gets hurt, I really really do NOT like it. I see it as hateful and divisive.
Please understand that if your ballot goes another way in November, I certainly respect your choice. Sincerely.
P.S. I am pretty sure I'd recognize an East Side preppy. I used to be a preppy back when preppy wasn't cool. :)

New York State has had a Republican governor since 1994 and New York City has had two Republican mayors since 1993. There are far more Republicans than you would think. If you look at New York State specifically upstate and Long Island, the majority of voters are Republican. I agree that the Democrats have a big edge in a national election, but not citywide or statewide. NYC's version of the Republican party is different from the national version. It will be interesting to see what happens when the Republican National Convention comes here this summer.
I agree that wishing the President an injury is wrong. I also think that your statements about "Democrat voters being full of blind uninformed hatred" and "sharp as a bag of hair" are rude, insulting, and uncalled for as well as hateful and divisive. That kind of rhetoric turned this thread into a series of personal attacks rather than an exchange of ideas.
