I will never in my entire life vote for someone with a predominantly conservative stance towards social issues. The religious right has enough power as it is.

I am not a democrat or republican, but I always vote republican, and here is why.

In a nut shell:

Democrats what to take away your financial freedoms, and give you your personal freedoms.

Republicans want to take away your personal freedoms and give you your financial freedoms.

Personally, I think they are all my freedoms, and the government has no right to take any of them away. I vote republican because the government sucks at taking away personal freedoms, but is is VERY good at taking away your financial ones.

I currently don't break any laws, but if I did, I am sure I can get away with drug use a lot easier then I can tax evasion.

 

 

 

However, one glaring hole I see is 'how' Republicans want to curb personal freedoms. With specific extreamist Christian logic. That is a one way street that would end up like the Taliban, Saudi Arabia, etc. and that I just cannot even come close to accepting.

As for the dems and financial freedoms, huh? Everytime there is a republican in the white house, we go deeper and deeper into debt, economy tanks, government gets much larger, and I beleive Bush has taken WAY more personal freedoms in his 8 years than any president combined for all of our history.
