Specifically for monkeyshine.
I vote for ANYONE other than the Democrat Party for the following reasons:
1. The Unions here SCREWED over my father when I was young. He paid into a retirement plan that was nixed when USX bought US Steel. It creates a lasting impression. We suffered for quite a while and that's the biggest reason.
2. I don't believe in Section 8 and welfare systems in general. On a personal level, it DESTROYED the ethnic (German-American/Croatian-Americ... neighborhood of my youth. Maybe that's not the way it is in your neck of the woods, but it's blatantly obvious where I used to live and where my parents still live. The groups that take advantage of Section 8, etc. generally support the Dems.
3. I support the NRA. Plenty of my, YES, Democrat friends do as well. I'll be honest with you, here in Pennsylvania, these "bitter people" are having a hard time voting for Obama.
4. Socialism scares the sh*t out of me. In no way would I want to pay even a higher percentage of tax for some form of universal healthcare. I can use my brain to get it for myself.
5. My father is a Vietnam veteran and they sh*t on him when he returned. He risked his @ss, regardless of whether it was right or wrong to be there. That's not the point.
6. Although, not terrifically religious, I still respect churches. A number of both Catholic and Protestant groups have helped me. Grade school, high school, etc.* To be honest with you, I'd rather have more than two options for choice for President (US). Individuals in European countries are given that option from what I've seen. Whats wrong with that?
