Why would anyone who makes less than 5 million a year decide to be a republican and vote against themselves?

Not enough political education or wisdom.

It's the oldest of republican rhetoric always spouted at election time to try and sway democrats to vote republican. Fact of the matter is; if you are in a lower to middle income tax bracket your taxes will probably not change. Republican tax roll backs were just offset by higher fee's for other government services like your DMV charges for registration and plates. What you may see happen is the tax breaks for the upper class rescinded and measures taken to see that they pay their fair share.

Our Republican Administration is power and money hungry for themselves.  They are only interested in big business who supply their party with unlimited money to play with as they see fit.  \n\nThey take very good care of themselves, giving themselves salary increases every year, the finest health care and pensions.\n\nThey want to hang on to their ill gotten gains and will go to any lengths to achieve this.  They disrespect the opposition party and as they cannot discuss issues or their own achievements ( of which they have none) they resort to dirty tricks, lying and name calling.  All we can do is not vote for them when we have to chance to do so.

It's because people keep voting Republican, and we loose our rights. As you can see it's a selective thing too, like sending children to war so the adults don't have too. If you haven't noticed with the illegal immigration and the unemployment issues. A young adult has the choice of $100,000.00 for an education, Walmart, McDonald's, or Iraq. You can ask yourself this question as you get older, while your working at McDonald's. I myself already learned it through the Reagan/Bush administration in the 80's. Republicans just use people for their own agendas, and if your not rich, and in the mold your nothing.

because we accidently voted for thoes people who support that into office.  But I agree....it is time for people to get off their lazy backside and get a job.  My mom is legally blind and has  masters degrees and works full time.  They just want to use the government to be lazy and quite honestly it is stealing from the government....don't those people have any pride in themselves!

I myself have always wondered what would make hard working tax payers vote Republican. I thought it was common knowledge that Republicans work to benefit only the richest people in America, not the working class, which is the majority of us here. But it appears that all some people need is for some politician to say he's conservative and against abortion or gay marriage or illegal immigrants or whatever hot issue is in vogue at the time and these same hard working tax payers forget how much they may be struggling financially go and vote for him on "moral issues or family values". If you are not already rich before you vote Republican then you definitely won't become rich after you vote for them. If you have as much money as George Bush, or the likes then of course you should vote Republican because then he will be working for your interests.

MAYBE BECAUSE THEY FEEL THEY HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE!\n\nWell it is high time they begin to consider other choices.\n\nI hate throwing away my vote on independents because they seldom have a snowballs chance in hell of winning but this year I did just hoping a bunch of other people did the same to give some credibility to the independents. We need to shake up the two party system and get some good blood in office.\n\nLONG LIVE THE INDEPENDENTS.  \nOUT WITH THE BLOODSUCKING BASTARDS...........

He has enough money that he doesn't understand working for a living and having to pay for things himself.  Its easy to be liberal when you are set for life.

I am hard working (a mason) and a Republican.In fact I might even be able to benefit from Democrat control as my son is disabled and I am a single parent .I simply believe we should do our best to provide for ourselves and that this is a land of opportunity.I don't have money in the market but I want those that do to do well if they can then that means a better chance for me.\n Our economy is great employment is great I am at a loss as to what the new direction is.

They try and sweep it under the rug.  \n\nOne of the reasons why I am a registered republican is that I am a fiscal conservative, but the ridiculous amount of spending that's gone on in the last 6 years, fueled by tens of billions of earmarks (pet projects tacked on to spending bills) have bankrupted our country.  Sure the economy is seeming good.  We're living off an 8.5 Trillion Dollar loan.

Well, since you are evidently a career criminal, why not?  Think bigger, though--run as a Republican for public office.

On social issues, Republicans are like introverts, they put themselves and their families above everyone else and don't think about how we have to work together as a society without it falling apart at some point... Democrats are like extroverts, caring about their own families, but also caring about other people, that might be why you always hear Republicans say things like "you feel too much for criminals" etc... There is probably some place in the middle that would work the best, you can't help everyone because not everyone wants to work, but you also can't force people to work for low wages like this administration does, just so some families can get richer... I might have voted for the old Ronald Reagan type of Republican, but this Nation has been way too far right for a lot of years... My opinion is that we need to let people see they can actually make something out of their lives if they work for it, and stop breaking apart our families, because the next thing to go is our nation... 8 million people in our prison justice system proves that we are out of time (it was 6.6 million about 5 years ago, I extrapolated)
