We all have our differences. Anyone as well intended as the insights represented in this forum is right.
We have to agree to disagree, but please have respect for dissenting opinions. Republicans are wrong. Democrats are wrong.
I am mostly Republican becasue of my personal convictions on the sanctity of life , a marriage between a man and a woman,a dire need for welfare reform and an opinion that big government is bad.
HOWEVER I hate that my party also gives big oil tax breaks and has many other hidden agendas.
I guess it becomes the lessor of two evils for me.
I hate even more the mentality that my daddy's daddy daddy voted this way....or the south will rise again crap...
We have to get along and be Americans though. The following scared me and I want to post the copy and paste:
