All the while I was a Teamster dockhand and later a Teamster driver. Unbelievable. Voted against my own lifestyle repeatedly.
How anyone can look out the perverbial window and still vote conservative/republican/libertarian is just mind boggling.

So now you will vote for Abortion, Gay Marriage, Social Welfare, Programs that teach kids how to put condoms on cucumbers in elementary school or sooner?
Policies that takes a whole first grade class to see a couple lesbians get married in San Francisco and label it as normal behavior?

It makes sense for the very rich to vote Republican. Hell yes, they don't want to pay their huge tax bills and want to free-load off of working Americans and the American government. They are well-educated millioniare welfare queens that know how to game the system and hoodwink less informed people. That makes sense. They are acting like *******s, but it makes sense.
But why anyone living in a double wide trailer, driving a beat up import, working 70 hrs a week, facing layoff at any moment, and are indentured servants of the credit industry would vote Republican is just stupid. There's no nice way of saying that. It's just plain stupid. | I would agree with you if the Democrats actually did give a flying **** about the working people. But they are only concerned with the things that Jeff just mentioned. By the way, I have no use for the Republicans either. I am in limbo; a disinfranchized, disenchanted angry citizen.

This is a nightmare for me vote for left or far left...
Palin is my only glimmer of hope right now

I'm voting for McCain and Palin. We need someone who isn't gonna be afraid or back down when it comes to our national security. Why, on earth would anyone vote for someone (Obama) who doesn't pledge allegience to our flag, who dennounced his white heritage, who said he would stand with the muslims if the political winds shift, who is involved with Ayers, Rezko, ACORN and the racist Rev. Wright? Who would vote for Obama who would turn to his wife to seek guidance if he didn't know how to do something? Which he did say in the second presidential debate. Who would vote for Obama , who has to get a truth squad and arrest people for digging up dirt on him, who would vote for someone who hides their education records and takes forever to submit their birth certificate which looks like a fake to me, who would vote for someone who thinks he can talk to a terrorist? You can't talk to a terrorist , they have their mind made up or brainwashed shall I say to believe it's Allah's way and anyone who doesn't follow them gets blown to bits and they'll get their 72 virgins when they get to heaven, puhlease ! Sorry, but I wouldn't vote for someone like him , someone who's credibility I have to question big time.

Censor me, moderator.
And, by the way, how much were you paying for fuel when a Democrat was President?
Are you better off now than you were a year ago? Four years ago? Eight years ago?
And, if you're going to base your choice of elected officials on his/her/your religion, you should move to a theocracy like Saudi Arabia or Iran. That way, you and the ruling parties will all be of the same "faith", and you won't have to bother with those pesky elections. | I'm always amazed that those Americans that work hard support the very people that take their money and horde the wealth the workers create. And that somehow believing that they believe in "less" government is reward enough.
Well, your party has led us to bail out the very, very, very, filthy rich with our hard earned money so that they can give us the BA as they go on their $440,000 retreat and $86,000 hunting trip in England. We gave AIG $87,000,000,000, they just now got another $32,000,000,000 of taxpayer money, and they take trips with it. You must condone this sort of behavior because I would be willing to bet $119,000,000,000 that none of the corporate execs of this company lean in any measurable distance to the left, except when it comes to taking taxpayer money. Then they are all for socialism.
I think a case could be made for bringing these financial titans up on treason charges for harming the United States in time of war. I would love to see these sons of *****es lose everything they have and spend the next 50 years in prison.
And at the end of the day, I think you that feed the mouths that bite you will be very sad come November 5th. Palin was a tactical error, as were the nasty ads. The people know pandering when they see it, and they also know desperation when they see it. The Republican'ts are going to lose big in November.
Unless Diebold gets involved.
