Might I ask why?i've never voted for a democrat in my life, evar. the whole liberal ideal is lost on me. i'm the old fashioned small government leave me and mine the *fudge* alone type of conservative republican. unfortunately at this point i feel the republican party could care less about me. give them a second and they'll prove it. the whole deal has been bought and paid for. even when i was voting against bushco in 04 i didn't vote for a democrat. we have a second term democratic governor in my state that thinks my wallet is bottomless. they have raised taxes in some of the most imaginative ways the world has ever seen at a time when our state is in the worst shape it has ever been in my lifetime. i am paying my real estate taxes a year in advance because they couldn't live within their wallets. democrat = costing me money i don't have.

Not to pick on you, but ...even when i was voting against bushco in 04 i didn't vote for a democrat. we have a second term democratic governor in my state that thinks my wallet is bottomless. they have raised taxes in some of the most imaginative ways the world has ever seen at a time when our state is in the worst shape it has ever been in my lifetime. i am paying my real estate taxes a year in advance because they couldn't live within their wallets. democrat = costing me money i don't have. You strike me as smart enough to not be mindlessly swallowing the party line. In particular, then, I've always had trouble understanding how present-day Republicans can correctly be characterized as the party of "small government" or of fiscal responsibility. I can see how you'd distinguish between how much you're being taxed v. where that money is being spent. But as to how heavy a financial burden Big Government places on you and yours, I can't really see any meaningful difference between the two parties.

I never changed the registration. I still vote Libertarian every chance I get. The gub'mint ain't got no bidniz, being in my bidniz! Title: Re: so obama's saying all the right things.....
