Americans I meet, in the States as well as elsewhere, seem to be mostly decent sensible likable people. Yet some of them vote Republican. I see the Republicans sending troops to occupy other people's countries (Iraq, Afghanistan), supporting occupation (Israel's in Palestine), and at home cutting taxes to help the rich and doing little or nothing to help the poor, and opposing scientific progress like stem cell research from a place of prejudice.
I can understand the rich and Christian fundamentalists and other nutcases voting Republican, but what good do ordinary folk with common-sense and compassion see in the GOP?
