kerry not so much, but there is no possible way that he could have flubbed our policies worse than bush and i doubt that we would be staying in a prolonged war for ketchup.

My three big issues:

1) pro-life

2) provide opportunity for the american dream without giving people free stuff and forcing successful folks to support those who fail

3) minimal government involvement in my life

I don't consider myself a republican but they represent the better of the two parties with regard to my issues at this point.  Decades ago the democrats were not as liberal and were viable candidates but hey have been taken over by special interests and i hope they clean house someday and return to their former selves.

If so inclined, say why you did.

It's confusing to me. I'm dumbfounded.

Step up. Explain it.


Normally I would say "None of your frikin business who I voted for!"

But since I know it bothers you so...I'll tell ya.

I have voted Repub every election since I was able to Vote.

I voted for BOTH Bush 1 and Bush 2....that might really set ya off huh.

Dems. having nothing now nor have they ever had anything to offer in my opinion. My current thougts of how things are going are mine , and besides , you would just argue with my opinons or thoughts anyway.

To bad you can't vote here. To bad many that post here can't vote here. Would be funny to see all the faces if you guys were to lose again in the presidential election.

I find it interesting that so many claim that they voted for Bush in 2000 but changed in 2004 or will change in the future.  I cannot understand how this makes any sense at all.  

If you voted for Bush, it was because the Republican party represents policies that are closer what you want than the Democrats offer.  To vote for a Democrat, just because you have problems with something Bush has done that means you're now going to vote against those policies you agree with and for the policies you disagree with.  And this is supposed to do what exactly?  

Say you strongly disagree with the war and think Bush made the wrong decisions, OK, I can see that and I can understand no longer being "for" Bush.  But by changing to Dems you'd be voting for tax increases, a ruined economy, pro-abortion, liberal appointments to the courts, etc., etc., and, most importantly, you're voting to follow the exact same path the US followed after Vietnam.  A unilateral withdrawal and defeat in the WOT.  Don't forget that millions died in SE asia after we withdrew and the Democrat controlled congress withdrew all promised support for South Vietnam.  These people were killed by the Vietnamese and Pol Pot.  What did the US get out of this?  Jimmy Carter who usered in the era of state sponsored terrorism we're in now and a ruined economy because of Democrat fiscal policies.

Even if you disagree with the war, is this kind of result what you'd really want?  Just to register your objections?  Would you ignore the successes of the administration such as the economy, employment, court appointments, and defeats of terrorist plots in the US?

This, to me, makes no sense.  In spite of whatever "leaders" are offered by the parties, the parties themselves are fundamentally different and represent totally different approaches to the issues facing the US.  Democrats offer nothing but a unilateral withdrawal and defeat in Iraq.  As a matter of proof, can you name a single successful Democrat program in the last 50 years?  Raising Taxes?  Abortion on demand? Minority preferences?  Unlimited illegal immigration?  Expanded use of tax dollars to support illegal aliens?  Here's a good example of what you'd get....the Dems have controlled New Orleans for over 50 years.  Is this what you want for the entire US?

Just a few things to think about.

I voted for Bush in 2000 because of Algore

I voted for Bush in 2004 because of john squealing kerry.

I wish I could have voted for someone better in each case but the opposition made sure I voted for Bush.  Will vote against the democrats in 2008, thats just the way it goes.

Best part of voting Republican is driving raging liberals and nutjobs like Nash crazy.  :D
