Simple fact: Republican economic policies are horrendous. They cut tax breaks for the upper 5% which doesn't help anyone. Of course when they go out campaigning they don't mention who is going to get their taxes cut, just that taxes will be cut. Their other assorted economic programs plunge the country into a deficit which then depreciates the investments of those same upper 5% who got the tax cut. And that depreciation generally is more than the tax break they received. Aside from that, all this christian right wing morality crap is retarded. Nothing wrong with the religion, just that it shouldn't be mixed with politics.
I do not consider myself a staunch Democrat by any means, however I do know that I really dislike Republicans. So, I will never vote Republican. And as long as voting Democrat is the most viable option for keeping Republicans out of office that is how I will vote.
dude, you're way off. tax cuts strenghten the economy by increasing consumer spending, which, over time raises confidence and makes those investments you mentioned appreciate not depreciate.
