I feel like slapping idiots that only know how to repeat catch phrases without talking about any issues.
Get off the damn abortion issue and you republicans would have more supporters.

I am not really affiliated or in agreement with any one political party, and though I have not always agreed with what the Republicans have done, it is just plain stupid to accuse the Republicans of catering only to rich white men because both parties do it at one time or another. It's all about the Benjamins baby that's what the world has become, it isn't exclusively applicable to any one party agency or nation.
The Republicans have done good things, and bad things.
So have the Democrats. Anyone on either side trying to point the finger at their opponents for operating for the sole purpose of monetary gain is just hoping to win a few cheers from the crowd both sides do it and have done it. Make some intelligent assessments or start smearing one or the other this isn't a cheerleader convention. IT'S POLITICS...

I tell them that the republican party has always published their average donation amount of $25 while the Dumba$$ Dems refuse to publish theirs because it is way more since they are supported by the richest people who always make big donations like George Soros. Only 1 of the top 10 richest congressmen is a republican. And Theresa Heinz Kerry is still one of the richest women in the US.
I don't think the total population of the US really thinks that abortion is the determining factor in their vote. I think that the economy/personal finances and maybe terrorism is higher on their list. Besides abortion shows that the Republicans vote based on moral principles (baby killing, terrorist killings) are wrong while the Dems just try to pander to what they think people will want.

well the people who say that are not idiots,,, the republican party usually supports and will give tax breaks to businesses and business owners, they wish to stabilitize the military and spur global economy,,, the democrats like to show support in the unions and downsize the military and work on domestic issues
unfortunately w/ all the bipartisanship in this country , its hard to get things accomplished w/ so many buerecrats bumping heads on so many issues... party is a choice, you are or you arent ,,
