Well, actually, I did. I voted for the Republican in every presidential election since 1980.
And if you didn't nominate the Mormon, I'd probably hold my nose this time and vote for him, even though I think the GOP has lost its way as a party.
My question wasn't about who was a "little left" or a "little right" of who, since those distinctions are becoming increasingly meaningless. RomneyCare Good/ObamaCare bad.
My question is, who is a leader? Certainly not the guy who has to embrace reality TV Clowns because he can't relate to the angry peasents who make up most of his base.
Since 1980?...
I Bolded what your Issue is.
And I have yet to Vote for Mitt.
peace...
Well, there are two issues here.
The Micro issue is that you guys nominated the Mormon, and frankly, I have a 30 year grudge agains that bizarre, freakish, evil, racist, misogynistic, homophobic cult of stupid people. And so would most of you if you were being honest. It's just a lot of you hate the black guy more.
The Macro issue is that the GOP (and to a lesser degree the Democrats) have put the interests of multi-national corporations and have lost touch with their ideals.
For instance, a GOP ideal has been self-reliance and strong families, something that becomes difficult to acheive with those MNC's hollowing out the American Middle Class. This generation is less prosperous than the one that preceeded it.
