Update: I guess I shouldn't put in here that I voted for a Republican, but in hindsight look at what happened to my former Democratic governor. I had an idea that his administration would end poorly, but not like this. Now looking at the poll, it doesn't look like I'm the only one.
I'm usually not one to casually attack the Republican party and if you notice I'm going to call it the Republican party not some of the derisive terms that are out there.
I've even been known to vote for a Republican from time to time, if the Democratic candidate was bad, see the former Gov. of IL.
Yet, I've been looking at their arguments and I don't see how they get votes. I know their idea is bad but as much as I want good Democrats in office at this point in history we can't have an entire group of our citizens not coming up with new ideas. We need everyone working together, so where are the ideas?
Update X2 I'm surprised at both the voting in the poll and the lack of discussion. Oh, well.
Republicans why should I vote for you ...
You say that government is the epitome of what's wrong and should only be used for the common defense and then not for anything else (this sounds vaguely Communist).
----- Why should I put you in charge of something you think is the problem?
You say that everyone should have health care and that you want doctors and patients to make health decisions, that's why you should let market insurance take care of it.
------ Why should a company make a profit on someone else's sickness? Plus, why should an insurance company make the health care decisions? How is that better than government?
You say you love this country and don't want anything bad to happen.
------ Why are you going to let thousands of people be displaced when sea levels rise and we get more hurricanes that look like Katrina?
You say you love this country and don't want anything bad to happen.
------ Why do you want business to be run unchecked so that when things go bad (which they always do) not only the companies go under but so does the country?
You say you love this country and don't want anything bad to happen.
------ How can you let 47+ million people go without health insurance, where don't see a doctor until it's too late?
You say you love this country and don't want anything bad to happen.
------ Why should going to college put someone in as much debt as if they bought a house before they even know if they'll have a job? Why bankrupt these kids before they even get started?
You say you love this country and don't want anything bad to happen.
------ Why did you pass a No Child Left Behind law and then leave millions behind other countries in math and science?
You say you love this country and don't want anything bad to happen.
------ Why wouldn't you talk to our enemies and try to reach common ground, we talked to the USSR didn't we?
You say you love this country and don't want anything bad to happen.
------ Why after sending our troops into harms way, you let them come back to horrible conditions at many VA hospitals and left access to these hospitals very limited?
There are many other examples. The problem I've been having is what are you for, except tax cuts for people who don't need them.
So, you've had your butt kicked in 2 straight elections. Where are the ideas, we need ideas? Why should I or anyone else vote for you?
