My main reason:
Terrorism. It exists. Liberals don't think it's real. Every time something happens (like the attacks in Britain), liberals all say the same thing "oh the timing of that." As if Bush made it all up. And when exactly would the timing have been better??? They've said that for the past 6 years.
Liberals refuse to address how to fight terrorists. They don't want to fight them. Every time a liberal is talking about terrorism, they are talking about Bush and Iraq, or they're being the voice of the terrorists. Saying we shouldn't keep terror suspects in custody. Or the CIA shouldn't be able to listen to the conversations of the people who finance terrorist attacks or sympathize with them. Or how a terrorist should be treated with the utmost respect and kindness when they're holding back information of an attack that is about to kill thousands of people on our soil. Having a democrat President in these times would be too dangerous.

Because they will not protect our national security.

I will vote for a democrat in 2008.
My main reason: Terrorism: it exists.
9/11 was carried out by Saudis who belonged to AlQaeda.
Al Qaeda is alive, well, and growing. They even have buddies who think the same way. Go to http://www.lauramansfield.com/j/default.asp and watch their videos. Pssst, none of the top guys are in Iraq....pass it on.
Conservatives haven't earned the right to lecture anybody about how to fight terrorism. It's a tough problem, but we can still treat prisoners ethically. The Army field manual is just fine for treatment of prisoners captured in wartime, or it was fine, unless you've mucked around with it. The Geneva conventions were just fine. Torture is not an American value. There is no need to behave like Nazis to fight terrorism. We can remain Americans, keep our right of privacy, keep our ethical treatment of prisoners, and still deal with terrorists. We don't think it really helps to strip search all of our own citizens at our airports...thank you very much. Most airlines now let us carry our nail clippers again. Fear of clipping someone to death has declined, I guess.
Democracy is just fine. We don't need a fascist state. Fascist states are not stronger, and have more, not less, to fear. Having a Republican president who thinks Saddam Hussein was flying one of those airplanes that hit the towers would be too dangerous.
Vote these guys out, please.

I will vote for a democrat. Having a Republican president is what MADE these times too dangerous!
To John B.: If appears that you aren't educated enough to look up the facts. The more education a person has, the more likely they are to be a Democrat.

The liberals are only interested in Bush bashing. He has not been a good President, but better than AlGore, John Edwards or Hillary.
I do not believe in voting against someone because he is Republican, or Democrat, for that matter. I certainly don't agree with Hillary's socialist beliefs. They are too close to Islamic Arab terrorists.
Will the Republicans come up with someone worthy of the Presidency? Anything is better than the current crop of socialists the Democrats are offering. Will the Democrats come up with someone worthy of the Presidency? I doubt it.

1. Their brand of socialism would thwart prosperity.
2. I want a strong defense in times of war and the Dems. are notoriously and historically weak in that area.
3. I don't support higher taxes to pay for their pork projects.
4. I favor a serious approach to fighting terrorism.

Payback time! Their constant anti-Bush barrage has lost its shock effect . In fact, it is downright boring,Yet it continues.
Unless they stop running on what the Bush adm allegedly failed to do and start coming up with some specifc plans and ideas on their own, I simply would be unable to vote for them.
I feel John Kerry might have won if he would have told us what his
"I have a plan" was.

I am pro life, not pro abortion / death.
I am pro limited government, not pro expansive government (which is Bush's policy - Bush is a Neocon).
The terrorist issue is bogus and a waste of time and money. X-raying 88 year olds at an airport is how our pathetic government combats terrorism.
Allowing 20 million illegal aliens from anywhere in the world to come here as they please is how our pathetic government combats terrorism.
What America needs to do is pull out all of our troops in the Middle East and elsewhere and to stop giving foreign aid.
We need to protect American borders, not Korea's or Iraq's or Israel's or other borders.
Blowback - Dr. Ron Paul knows what he is talking about.

I will not vote for a Republican. Mostly because the Republican Party has been completely taken over by those who would bleed this nation dry and run off with the profits. The other reason I always vote Democrat(accept once for Governor Guinne R. Nevada) Is that I work for a living and the Democratic Party has always been the Party with the Best interests of the American Worker at heart.

Because I work 2 jobs to make ends meet. All the Democrat's are offering is a platform based on raising taxes. They like to pimp themselves to the masses by saying it will be a tax on the rich. If you read the Al Gore/Joe Lieberman manifesto on economic prosperity from the last election, people making $76,000.00 annually were considered rich. Therefore, they have yet to define rich. For them, rich probably means anyone who has more than $100.00 in their savings account.

I don't vote according to party affiliations, I vote according to whoever makes the most sense. I can't help it if republicans make more sense to me than democrats. :P
And yes, can we PLEASE dismiss the timing of the terrorist attacks as mere coincidence? Is there something particularly special about the date July 7, 2005? I've dealt with a LOT of improbable events in my life, all of which had no more significance than just being simple, meaningless coincidence.

Democrats don't understand terrorists. They think that if we are nice to them, they will let us be. They dont understand that 'nice' to a terrorist only conveys weakness; and that the terrorist will take advantage of that perceived weakness with further attacks. (Britain and Spain come to mind) The goal of terrorists is not a homeland, it is the destruction of all societies not like their own.
