There are only four basic reasons to vote for a Republican candidate in any election:
1) You are a greedy, rich, CEO type who can never have enough money regardless of the plight of others. Why should you care about the infrastructure, schools or health insurance? You already have enough money to fly your private jet over pot-hole filled roads, your kids will inherit millions and don't need an education, and you can buy your own hospital.
2) You are religiously insane. You believe your god is more cool than anybody else's god. You believe that by putting the Ten Commandments in front of every government office crime will disappear. You further believe that by putting "In God We Trust," on our currency, no one will dare try and steal it.
3) You're a racist bigot. You believe that America is exclusively for white poeple, conveniently forgetting that we literally kicked out the aboriginal Indians and were founded by immigrants from all over the world.
4) You are plain and simply an idiot. You vote Republican because you think it squares you with the rich white guys while you're still making payments on a '62 Ford pick up.
Of course there are many more reasons for voting Republican; namely you love war, deficits, guns and the inalienable right to insist pregnant women stay pregnant regardless if they were attacked by a sick rapist. There is no changing your mind because basically, you don't have one. You belong to a cult-like lifestyle that celebrates intolerance and repression. You could care less about this, because frankly, you just don't care or know the difference. You've been brainwashed to believe that liberal and progressive are dirty words.
All that said, none of this matters to Republicans who will read none of this anyway. They have a simple rule for winning arguments; he who yells the loudest wins. Think of screechers like Michelle Malkin, Micheal Savage, or any of the blowhards on AM hate radio like Bill, Sean or Rush. Collectively they form a pathetic circle jerk cadre of the first three reasons to vote republican, with undo influence over the forth reason, idiots who really believe these people have their best interests at heart. If only they knew.
It pretty much comes down to if you have millions and don't give a shit about anyone else, vote Republican. And whether or not you have millions but do give a shit about others, vote democrat.
Why is it so hard for Democrats to win elections?

As to why Democrats don't win very often, Republicans are dirty fighters, any means to an end. Which reflects on their entire ideology.
The number one reason Republicans vote Republican is simply that there is no other acceptable alternative--libertarians are not electable.
PS- "Dirty fighting" is adequately represented by characterizing your opponents as greedy, religiously insane, racist bigots, or as plain and simple idiots. Unfortunately, ad hominem is customarily the preferred method of debate for those who lack rational foundation for argumentation.
Cheers.
The IMPEACHMENT! hehe... The entire fucking GOP is consumed by nothing but ad hominem attacks. As Newt has said, its what got them into power in the first place...
When you write this kind of crap from now on please be sure to also send it to every AM Radio Host, every conservative in Congress, to FOX NEWS... Lots of CC's there for you.
But you express the basic conservative ideology well. WE CAN YOU CANT.
Trouble is that twaddle only works for those in the same twaddling boat. :)
Redirecting a criticism toward those with whom you disagree is a rhetorical parlor trick equivalent to making a quarter disappear behind a child's ear. The three propositions above remain uncontested. I am really only interested in the last one: "Dirty fighting" is adequately represented by characterizing your opponents as greedy, religiously insane, racist bigots, or as plain and simple idiots. I see in your unwillingness to respond directly a tacit approval of this statement.
PS- Conservative ideologue? Nah, I have folks on my bookshelves that position you a little right of Barry Goldwater...uh, the 60's version of Goldwater. And yes, the spines are bent.
PSS-Does that mean Liberal ideology is best expressed as YOU CAN'T THE GOV'T CAN?
Sorry if this gets posted twice. Peace.
