It is only the Democrats and a few Independents that are trying to resolve some of our problems, who else would it make sense to support?
Actually, NO. The Dems have completely derailed our economy since Nancy and Harry took over Congress in 2007. Look it up. These are the facts:
- Unemployment has more than doubled (from 4.6% to 9.5%)
- The national debt has tripled
- There are 200,000 new bureaucrats
- There is an additional $2 Trillion Dollar unpopular Obamacare fiasco
- An $800 Billion Dollar "stimulus bill" that failed to stimulate anything except Dem supporters' wallets (pork, pork, and MORE pork)
- AND we purchased 2 car companies for 5 times their value and screwed the bondholders (aka working stiffs' 401k investments) in order to bail out Obama's UAW buddies
Want more of the same?
If your answer is yes, The Democrats are your party.
Since Nancy and Harry took over in 2006, unemployment has more than doubled (from 4.6% to 9.5%) our national debt has tripled, the stock market has dropped from the 14,000's to the 9,000's, there are 200,000 new bureaucrats, there is an additional $2 Trillion Dollar unpopular HCB, a new financial bill, which nobody has a clue what's in it, an $800 Billion Dollar "stimulus bill" that didn't create one job, we purchased 2 car companies for 5x their value in order to bail out the UAW, we unconstitutionally forced private businesses to close their doors (car dealerships), and now they want "cap and trade" or an energy bill.
It doesn't look so good in print, does it?
It was A-OK for the government to step in and help the big banks. But then the banks turned around and didn't want to make loans to the small business'. So, the small business package was sent in to help the small business owners (specific) and every Replubican voted against it. When Olympia Snowe said that they needed to help business owners quickly, and this is why she supported a filibuster-----people should have said..........what?
They aren't going to be happy until the entire population is making 2.05 an hour, living in huts in a feudal society under the guns of a god.
There goes the whole Obama (Or Democrats) strategically destroyed car dealership theory and violated the constitution. Note the Project Alpha before Genesis.
I am Independent and I am not happy with some of the Democrats. I will be damned if my vote goes to a Republican.
1. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are not all Democrats, now are they?
2. Our national debt has tripled in large part to what the last administration, a Democratic and Republican controlled legislature allowed to happen. Many of the same Republicans you're wanting to vote into office now. John Boehner and others of his party were there during the first Bush term, when spending went nuts, and we took a budget surplus, and turned it into a budget deficit. So I ask you, whats the difference?
3. Um, if you don't recall, most of the stock market drop happened during the Bush Presidency.
4. Reagan still increased the size of the government more than Obama, your point?
5 As far as the stimulus, remember, the first bail out was from President Bush, Republicans supported the automobile company bailout, and cap and trade is fine, as long as we quit sending 700 billion dollars a year to foreign countries that hate us.
So why would I vote Republican either? They started most of this mess, and the same ones who would be in charge, are the same idiots that let President Bush spend like a drunken sailor.

What they said.
In addition, I find the Republican agenda to be repugnant.
They spend hundreds of millions of dollars (or more?) fighting against the civil rights of all consenting adults to marry;
They want to control what women do with their bodies;
They seek to inject their religious beliefs (Christianity) into our secular government;
They're hypocrites who claim "the key to real [health care] reform is to give control of the health care system to patients and their health care providers, not bureaucrats in government or business", yet pass laws and take people to court to prevent them from making medical decisions in conjunction with their doctors on behalf of their brain-dead spouses;
They have a near-zero record on actually improving the economy over several decades;
They are against sound environmental protections that work to protect the health of human beings from greedy corporations;
They're manipulative liars who prey on people to instill fear, anger and hatred (and I'm not just talking about the recent Muslim issue -- this goes all the way back to Lee Atwater and his despicable "Willie Horton" ad, and probably further)
I could make an endless list, but I'll stop there, as those are more than sufficient reasons to rebuke the Republican agenda and hope they never, ever have any kind of control over our country again.
Why would I still vote for them? I wouldn't unless I took a hit of LSD first.....Ok, that was mean, right? Well, the thing is, I wouldn't vote for them in the first place. Time for new blood in both the House and the Senate. I only wish more Libertarian voters voted for our party members, instead of choosing between Republicans and/or Democrats.....
There is one Democrat running for a House job who I think I might vote for but happily I don't live in his district.
My first four votes for President were for Democrats because they were Dems and then they showed their true stripes and nominated George McGovern and I haven't done anything like that since.
Ah, the personal attack. Well played. One reason I will never vote for a democrat again is Mayberry is representative of who the democrats are. Evil, nasty, bigoted, childish louts.
