Democrats love to give money away, and they love to raise taxes on the middle and upper middle class to pay for it. Anyone who makes a decent amount of money should be republican, unless you think it is fair that you are paying a higher percentage in income tax than someone who makes less than you. Why should those who earn more have to pay a higher percentage in income tax? It is not my responsibility to pay for those who are too lazy to pay for themselves. I work too hard earning my money to just give it away to someone who is going to sit on their lazy ass waiting on the 1st and 15th to come around so the government can make the payments on their escalade.
The only reason most people are voting democrat this time is because they think that republicans are responsible for the war. Correct me if I'm wrong, but back when the Iraq war started, congress had to vote whether or not to declare war. In that vote, quite a few democratic congressmen and congresswomen voted in favor of the war. Also, has everyone forgotten the **** Bill Clinton got us into back in the mid/late 90's in Bosnia? What president hasn't gone and started **** with other countries that are fighting each other (which is almost always none of out business)?
Democrats escalated the start of the Vietnam war and supported sending more and more troups even though it was a failure. Thats no different than whats happening in iraq right now. People are so fast to lay blame.
