It's shocking and depressing to hear the reasons that prospective voters give for supporting the incumbent. I've yet to hear a single reason that isn't (at least one of) selfish, callous, or completely divorced from reality. Anyone who can offer me a ray of hope by providing just one counter-example wins an SUV, a gun, and a full-term foetus. Ho ho. To the vast majority of us outside the USA, it's crystal clear that the Bush regime is catastrophic for Americans and non-Americans alike. Please fire this man. Some people think non-Americans should express no opinion on American politics (mostly the same people who think it's okay for non-Iraqis to determine Iraqi politics), but others (like me) think people should have a say in decisions in proportion as they're affected by them. And sadly, we'll all be affected by this one. Here's to the great Americans who will not be selfish, callous, or ignorant tomorrow.

You really think it's only the Republicans who vote down school levies? Sure the right generally wants to keep taxes to a minimum but most of them care about education and want their kids to have the best education possible and will vote in favor of them if they think it will help. Think of the poor wellfare addicted democrats (who don't pay any taxes anyway) that will vote them down simply because they don't want to pay for anything with their money.TD said:Further proof that Republicans are selfish assholes. I voted YES for a few tax levies. One to for a local vocational school. Without the students would suffer, with less materials and teachers, and the teachers would suffer lay offs. Same vote on a local MRDD center. I have broad enough shoulders to help out those in need by opening my wallet a little. That's what seperates the Democrats and the Republicans. The Right is me, me, me. The Left likes to take resources and help others out. Fucking tightwads.
