I used to vote Republican. Now I essentially can't stand them.
I find their blatant disregard for all things not Capitalist completely out of touch with human reasoning. Gas wells in public parks, handguns in bars, tax breaks for the rich: its an agenda fueled by greed alone. The powerful vs. the powerless, in almost every case. Is that what America has become?
And what I find the most frustrating is the average Republican American's willingness to trade his own self interests for what these corporation puppets are telling him he wants.
Many Republicans vote simply on one issue: abortion. I don't care what anyone thinks about abortion; in my opinion, it should neither be legal nor illegal, but is should be rare and it should be available in some safe form for whoever needs one. (And I don't question what that 'need' is; it's none of my fucking business, and it's none of the public's business either).
Here's my question: with so many voters electing Republican candidates on this issue alone, do you honestly think any smart Republican is ever going to allow abortion to become outlawed? (I know, 'smart Republican' is an oxymoron, but humor me here...).
If abortions were outlawed, many so-called Republican voters might actually research the other issues for a change. And they would probably switch party alliances when they discover that these guys don't represent them in the least.
But as long as abortion is legal in America, there will always be a voting contingent with a blind allegiance to one political ideology. And that is something that the Republicans will never willingly risk.
