I'm a Dem, so no one here will care what I think, but...here goes.
Why would I vote for a Republican? What reason would you give me to switch parties? Republicans say they want government out of our lives: except they want to tell us who we can marry, what God we can worship (Christian only), how our life ends...the list goes on and on, and I can't find anything there to be drawn to and support.
I've seen Republicans govern, and all I can say is, please God, never again. Bellicose rhetoric instead of diplomacy, cronyism over competence, tax cuts as the be-all, end-all of policy discussions. No plans for making our world a better place.
Look, I'll be the first to admit that liberalism and Democrats do many things wrong, but at least I see them TRYING to make people's lives better. When I hear Rush or Beck speak all I hear is hatred. Hatred toward anyone less fortunate than themselves, and I think they truly believe that anyone who's in trouble has to have done something wrong or else they wouldn't be in trouble.
As a Dem, I see government as the way we all pool our resources to make our country better and stronger, and I want a government that works for all its people. We can (and should) disagree on what government should do (that's why there are conservative/liberals) but reveling in extremist eliminationist talk about how some people aren't real Americans and how they really just don't love this country isn't going to get us there.
Thanks for listening and good luck. I truly do want a functioning Republican party. I just don't see one these days.
