Republicans and Democrats but suck big effing nuts.

However, I've strongly aligned myself with "The Rent is Too Damn High" Party.  We seem to have similar ideological beliefs.

Remember in 2006 when Democrats were standing on the floor of the House and Senate shrieking about Federal Deficits, the National Debt and then a little while after that gas prices?

Only to see them take complete control of the congress for 4 years and then the White house and in the process rack up Federal Budget Deficits and then the ensuing debt that goes with at unprecedented rates . . . now we pay on average $4 a gallon for gas, and in a purely political grandstanding move Obama is talking about opening more areas for drilling.   Under the watch of Democrats US debt ratings have been downgraded, and we're now borrowing from the Federal Pension plan to pay our bills on top of the IOU's we keep chucking into the various "trust funds". 

Meanwhile the current War Monger and Chief does nothing but expand and propagate war and finance the War/Military/Intelligence Complex at record levels, and of all things, he's bombing for Al-Queda in Libya.

Hasn't AQ publically acknowledged his death?  Thought they had?  :confused:

That's what they tell you. Doesn't mean a damn thing.

All that aside, we should still listen to our government. Everything they say is genuine

I've never once implied that that's what I believe.  I just don't think that everything is a conspiracy.  Now go put on your tin foil hat, and whatever you do, make sure to stay away from the microwave.

Almost two pages deep, and not one of the resident right wing douchebags has given a legitimate reason for why they vote Republican.

Years of voting Democrat and multiple minority groups in the United States are generations deep living off the Welfare dole . . . years of voting Democrat have given African American males what?  30% plus unemployment?

Dicked over by leftist (in both parties, but mostly d's) politicians and bureaucrats who increasingly regulate and regulate to the point where many business owners or those who want to be business owners have such an increased burden that they can't effectively grow or start their business.  The larger companies for the most part can withstand the onslaught of regulation simply through their large scale size, although their increased costs must still be passed along in the form of higher prices to the little guy. 

d's keeping the little guy down.

This. The enviro-terrorists (all democrats) have literally stifled all start-up entrepreneurs attempting to manufacture anything in leftist states, then conduct a million dollar study to find out why business is leaving their socialist utopia state for Texas.

There is, of course, a way to keep those jobs from going to Texas or any other such state.  Would it be to make your state a business-friendly environment?  No.  The answer must always be more and more government power.  You get the nlrb to tell companies they can't relocate.  See: Boeing.

Business owners vote republican because that is usually in their best interest, but blaming the government on failing businesses is a joke. Businesses fail because their owners are poor businessmen, not because of the government.

Do you ever really think these things through?  Clinton had no power during the last 6 years of his presidency accept to veto bills and fire rockets. Same with Bush his last 2 years.

Also, most of the start ups during the Clinton years were not real businesses, just useless web pages that morons dumped insane amounts of money into before it all came crashing down.

The problem with these vague, silly, unfounded, snotty little statements, is that they are vague, silly, unfounded and snotty.  Here's what he'd be saying if Obama was a Repub

Obama is currently President:  1) record levels of sustained unemployment; 2) record low GDP growth; 3) drastically lower tax revenues; 4) poverty increasing at a record pace; 5) record levels of increasing healthcare costs; 6) record deficit spending; 7) uncharged prisoners at Gitmo; 8) record level global warming; 9) falling home prices; 10) sustained low levels of consumer sentiment

Not that I vote republican every time, but I can tell you why I never vote democrat.  I don't think welfare, unemployment, or any government funded program that gives the "less fortunate" benefits really helps anyone.  It especially doesn't help the working class. 

There.  I said it.

It's pretty simple... when Clinton left office, the United States was experiencing the largest budget surplus in the history of our country.  When Bush left office, the budget deficit was at an all-time high, and the economy was in the middle of a recession.  Obama is now left cleaning up the mess.
