Why would anyone vote for Republicans...
...to run our government?

You don't put people in power who admittedly hate our government, or else you get what we are witnessing now.

1. Time for a rewrite of the Gipper's dictum
Government is not the problem. Republicans in government are the problem.

4. Come November
We can only hope a Democratic-controlled Congress comes up with a renovation strategy.

2. Because the gays will have the same rights as they have
women would be allowed to choose how to live their lives and tell men how many children they are willing to squeeze out of their bodies. In another words fear and hate drives them to vote puke. Look at ohio, it was the gay marriage issue as well as diebold that won it for shrub. Whats even crazier about those voters is they don't care if gay marriages are stopped all they care about is that they voted against it.

6. One word. Money.
Those that got it vote Repuke because they know the repukes will do anything to let 'em keep it.

Those that don't have it think the repukes will help 'em get it, usually at the expense of (insert minority/female/sexual preference here) down the street.

7. Let's face it - what qualifies any of these people to run the gov't?
Why are we the only industrialized nation without universal health? Why are we paying twice the amount for crappy health care as anyone who is getting universal health? Why is most of the population driving SUV's? Where is our energy policy? Etc etc etc? Most of these politicans couldn't even run a business let alone run the US gov't.
