I'm voting Republican. 
Posted on November 2, 2010 at 11:37 AM.
I'm voting Republican because they took our country from having a surplus to needing a stimulus. I like to call the GOP. The surplus to stimulus party.

They came in with a surplus and left with America needing a stimulus.

I'm voting Republican because they made government smaller by over seeing the largest expansion of Government in our history under Bush. Republicans are for Smaller Government

I'm voting Republican because they spent 13 trillion and we don't have a damn thing to show for it.

That's what I call Fiscal Responsibility.

I'm voting Republican because they did exactly what Bin Laden wanted. Bankrupting our country by getting us stuck in two prolonged wars with no way out.

They are Foreign Policy Experts.

I'm voting Republican because they lost 15 million jobs. They showed Wall Street how capitalism really works. They showed Wall Street they can't gamble with our money by bailing out the banks with our money. They fought against all regulations to make the banks more transparent. If the banks can't cheat and rob the American tax payer what good are they. We need another TARP.

Republicans know how to grow the economy.

I'm voting Republican because BP shouldn't be held responsible for the spill. We the American tax payer should pay BP. We are lucky they are doing any business with us.
Less Regulation

I'm voting Republican because they spent 3 trillion on lies to invade, destroy and rebuild Iraq while our country was going bankrupt. If they spent 3 trillion on America we might have new trains, roads and bridges. That would put Americans to work with jobs that couldn't be outsourced. Americans are lazy. They don't need jobs. They just want a handout.

I'm voting Republican because they were against the stimulus which helped states keep teachers, cops, fireman and our trash being picked up. After the Republicans destroyed our economy most states would not have those basic public services. We don't need any of those things.I'm for Freedom and less government in my life.

I'm voting Republican because they were against the health care bill. Kids with pre-existing conditions shouldn't expect Insurers to cover them. It's not my fault they were born sick. We can't reward every one who's unlucky in this country. I was lucky to inherit millions. Life isn't fair. Suck it up.

I'm for personal responsibility. Those kids and their parents should do the same.

I'm voting Republican because they voted against the fair pay act for women. Women don't deserve to be paid equal pay for the same job as a man. They are lucky they have the right to vote. They should be in the kitchen instead of at my job.

We should all thank the Republican party for what they did to our country and we should put them back in power.

To finish destroying America.

People are like sheep and forget how bad the republicans were the last 8 years before Obama took over. Hopefully the republicans dont take over..

We escape politics, and other parts of the real world, through sports and video games. Most sites would frown on this. Others would turn it into a flame war. But you deserve credit for speaking the truth. I am with you. If the Republicans make major gains, we have to hope that both parties come to their senses and work towards compromise. They are in government for us, all of us, not just the lobbyists, not the special interest groups.

Here in NJ the Republicans still want to take away from the working class and and give to the rich, and continue to screw teachers and state workers. I voted for the Democratic Party.

Yeah, I get all that, but at the end of the day there needs to be some partiality in DC. No one party should be able to rule the day. Having a democratic majority or a republican one for that matter helps nobody.

People just need to get out and vote. We are insanely lucky and priviliged to be able to cast our individual vote.... Please, do your part!

People better get out and exercise your right to vote, or you will not reconize your country in 2 YEARS.

I used to be very republican in voting/ways of thinking, however, lately, I'm done voting for any one party. I'm sick of right and left, red and blue. I'll vote for who I think is best suited for the job, whether it be rep, dem or independent. I see a lot of people who vote one way just for the sake of voting for that party. IMO let's discard the party system.

All that aside, I mostly agree with the points you have brought up.

The best blog I have read in a long time. SMH @ people acting like 2 years can fix 8 years of a smash and grab for the elephants.

Re:"I'm voting Republican because they voted against the fair pay act for women."
Yes, against the Paycheck Fairness act, not against equal pay.

Nothing has worked to close the gender wage gap -- not the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, not affirmative action, not diversity... Nor will the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act work. The wage gap will stubbornly persist because pay-equity advocates stubbornly ignore this:


Despite the 40-year-old demand for women's equal pay, millions of wives still choose to have no pay at all. In fact, according to Dr. Scott Haltzman, author of "The Secrets of Happily Married Women," stay-at-home wives, including the childless, constitute a growing niche. "In the past few years,” he says in a CNN August 2008 report at http://tinyurl.com/6reowj, “many women who are well educated and trained for career tracks have decided instead to stay at home.” (“Census Bureau data show that 5.6 million mothers stayed home with their children in 2005, about 1.2 million more than did so a decade earlier....” at http://tinyurl.com/qqkaka. Perhaps more women are staying at home because feminists and the media have told them relentlessly for years that women are paid less than men in the same jobs, and so why bother working if they're going to be penalized and humiliated for being a woman.)


As full-time mothers or homemakers, stay-at-home wives earn zero. How can they afford to do this while in many cases living in luxury? Because they're supported by their husband.


If millions of wives can accept no wages and live as well as their husbands, millions of other wives can accept low wages, refuse to work overtime, refuse promotions, take more unpaid days off, avoid uncomfortable wage-bargaining — all of which lowers women's average pay. They can do this because they are supported by husbands who must earn more than if they'd remained single — which is how MEN help create the wage gap. (If the roles were reversed so that men raised the children and women raised the income, men would average lower pay than women.)



By the way, the next Equal Occupational Fatality Day is in 2020. The year 2020 is how far into the future women will have to work to experience the same number of work-related deaths that men experienced in 2009 alone. See http://tinyurl.com/yab2blv

Wow, Not a Republican or Dem but young people sure brainwashed to hate Republicans sad
 
# 10 wrigleyville33 @ Nov 2
Hey, I'm young and moderately conservative. I went out and voted for the first time I've ever been able to. Obama has been awful, and Congress has been gridlocked... So to the OP, you can come up with just as many negatives with Democrats.
 
# 11 ImTellinTim @ Nov 2
No Harvey, no one is brainwashed. Perhaps you should come up with some points of your own instead of dismissing the ideas presented as the product of some perceived "brainwashing".

No matter your views, get out and vote today. There's still a couple hours to go if you haven't!

How can someone complain about the expansion of the fed under Bush when Obama has accrued a deficit larger than all the administrations combined in the history of the country.
And that stimulus has worked out really well, especially since the exhalted leader promised that unemployment wouldn't go over 8% if passed but instead now sits at 10%. Unemployment for the majority of Bush's administration sat at around 5% and the economy didn't really suffer until the democrat caused housing bubble burst. And that was thanks to the democrats pushing sub-prime mortgages for people who had no business buying a home. Anyone who was opposed to this was called a racist instead of a realist since the whole thing did blow up as predicted when those people couldn't make their house payments.
The republicans aren't perfect by any stretch, but I'll take my chances with a party that let's me keep my own money and thinks I'm smart enough to make my own decisions regarding who I choose to insure me.
Keep voting for your America-hating, big-government loving, death-tax punishing, gun stealing douche bag party!

dude this is stupid and I think against the TOS. vote how you want but, the fact is we didn't need the stimulus and the country is pissed and they are showing it tonight.
 
# 14 milesizdead @ Nov 3
Much respect from across the pond. As U.S politics have a direct impact on the whole world, I surely hope that Democrats stay in power. Enough of corporate *** kissing and meaningless wars, enough of fighting against science and reason, and enough of destroying the environment.

"...and Congress has been gridlocked..."

No it hasn't, wrigley. Congress has been campaigning for a year.

And as much as I hate to put my political views out into the ether, I have to say that it's high time Dems stop blaming everything on the past administration. They've had control of the House and Senate for a few years now (since '06, I think), so they're just as much to blame as the GOP.

Besides, Obama is the POTUS, it's his administration now. His agenda and policies are in the crosshairs now. In my opinion, everything that's happened in this country since his inauguration, good and bad, is his. Don't go blaming it on the GOP. OWN IT!!!
