Please don’t get me wrong, not all Republicans are bad and I have voted for some in the last 34 years.  By the same token, not all Democrats are bad and I have also voted for some of them.  You see, I’m an Independent and my vote is based on the candidate’s record.  I prefer those who “walk the walk” rather than just “talk the talk”.  That being said, I have grown increasingly disenchanted with the Republican Party as a whole (many of their usual supporters have too) and here are just a few reasons why.

Military Support
They claim to support our troops, yet they consistently vote against benefits for Veterans.  They also target this group with their fear tactics when it comes to important legislation like Health Care Reform.

Homosexuality
Publicly, they bash homosexuals and the gay community.  Privately, many of them engage in homosexual behavior.

Spending and Debt
They say that they are the “fiscally responsible” party yet Historically, the largest increases in federal spending and federal debt have occurred during Republican administrations.

Heterosex
They call themselves the “moral majority” even though so many have been exposed for being involved in sex scandals and extra-marital affairs.

Divorce
They preach about “family values” but American Divorce Rates are Higher in Red States than in Blue States.

Abortion
Publicly, they are against abortion.  Privately, they pay extra money for an option on their health insurance policies for coverage of elective abortions.

The Elderly
They always seek votes from seniors yet they constantly bombard this vulnerable group of our population with falsehoods designed to cause fear and panic.  They also attack the largest senior organization, AARP.

Civil Liberty
Under our previous Republican administration, many of the rights and freedoms granted by the U.S. Constitution were taken away from us.

Debate/Discussion of Important Issues
Rather than trusting the experts and relying on unbiased sources of fact-based information, they place all their faith in celebrity personalities like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, who have all proven to be habitual liars.
