[quote=patientlywaiting]I don’t get it. Why do folks in poor fly-over country vote Republican?

Why do some women want to restrict birth control choices?

[quote=Brutus]I’m a conservative. I have a post-graduate degree in the Arts (with honors from a big northeastern college.
I don’t believe in the god of the Christians, Jews or Muslims.
I’m pro-choice.
I’m pro-stem cell research.
I want smaller government.
I want fewer, and lower taxes.
I want people to take responsibility for their actions.
I want the government off my back.
I don’t give a crap about prayer in the schools.
There’s no such thing as gay marriage or flying pigs.
Gays can, however, form a civil union. Pigs can take a plane.
I believe if you want more roaches, put food out for them.
If you want more poor, ignorant people in the world, cater to their every whim and need, while punishing those who are smart and hard-working. You’ll get more of one, and less of the other.
If you want more companies making crappier and crappier products (GM, Ford etc…) bail them out. Often.

Where’s the politician that supports MY ideals?

There isn’t one because you’re selfish. You don’t want to pay taxes, but what happens then to the mentally ill who cannot take care of themselves? How do we get a national health care system so everybody can have coverage? With the majority of republicans it’s always about “me, me, me” and protecting their pocketbooks. Not cool.

[quote=Brutus]I believe that there are going to be some very disappointed black voters in a couple of years. I’m a conservative.[/quote]

Think about it. Do you really think the McCain/Palin team could have done a better job?

[Allan from Fallbrook]

lakehouse: Would that be the Constitutionally guaranteed National Health Care System?

The Federal government is responsible for the “three C’s”: Commerce, Communications and the Common Defense. Other than that, they need to stay the hell out of our affairs.

As far as the overarching system of entitlements you want and increasing taxes to pay for them, well, that’s the “uncool” part.

Brutus isn’t selfish at all. He’s simply wanting to keep more of what he has worked hard to make. Remember, tax evasion is a crime, but tax avoidance is a Constitutionally guaranteed right. Unlike your national health care system. You should move to Sweden, where they’ve done a fabulous job with cradle to grave social entitlements. You’d stand out a bit, but you’d get used to it after a while.
