I like what a lot of republicans and the tea party stand for but I wont vote for any one who endorses discrimination. They need to get over how other people choose to live their lives, it's none of their business.

The other thing that stops me from voting republican or tea party is how many of them have no or little regard for the environment and are unwilling to except the idea that our actions have repercussions. I just don't understand how people don't understand that changing the earth's atmosphere is going to change the earth's atmosphere. Also all the nonsensical ramblings on how global warming is a scam devised by Al Gore just makes me scratch my head and say really then why is every other country in the world on board with addressing this issue diplomatically.

If it wasn't for these two closed-mined hard headed position I would be on board too.

Well i guess all the religious rhetoric concerns me too. I just fell they are just a bunch of haters; not very Christ like if you ask me.

I don't know what I'm going to do. I turned eighteen over the summer, so this is my first time voting.

Yes. Trickle-down economics may not trickle as much as advocates claim, but on the whole the standard of living rises for everyone. Every time an ideologue promises to spread the wealth and plow through the status quo towards utopia, the standard of living equalizes to an lovely and egalitarian slump of economic malaise.

I'd rather be a "slave wage" in 2010 than a collectivized farmhand in a 1950s USSR, even if it results in a super-rich elite taking caviar baths somewhere on their private islands. I have far more leisure time, financial means, better technology, healthier food, and personal safety than any generation before mine did, even though I'm an utter nobody. And my society is far more permissive and laissez-faire about what I do with my personal life.

When it's a choice between greedy people running the show and ideologues, I'm going for the greedy people.

Trust me, if the guy who says he'll put prayer back in schools and ban abortions and deport everyone whose last name includes a Z, you can be pretty damn sure he'll actually keep those campaign promises.

How silly of you to say this. I thought it was common knowledge that everyone outside the United States is engaging in a massive Rube Goldberg-esque conspiracy to profit from green legislation, including 95% of the scientific community, headed by Al Gore of course.

Also, the United States was founded by a group of ideologues. If you have a problem with a bunch of ideologues running the show, maybe you should move to another country, like friendly and benevolent North Korea or something.

India and China have ratified the Kyoto Protocol while the US is unwilling to even consider it.

How does 95% of the scientific community profit from this "conspiracy"?

As for the founding fathers, were they not fighting for and aspiring towards tolerance and personal freedoms for everyone. Their main purpose was to take religion out of government to ensure the safety and freedoms of the people. Washington himself declared that the US was not a Christian nation, so it seems you are speaking solely based on your own imsconceptions.
