The reason I vote democrat is because, under the far right GOP type of government, tea party, whatever, the future of America looks does not look good. There are too many special interest groups, mostly multi-national corporations, who are in charge. I want a president who does what is best for the whole of America, not just a few.
I believe Hillary Clinton will be the next President and she will get most of the woman's vote. Even though women can vote now, there are many other issues (less pay than a man for same job) that need to be addressed. Women, in some form or fashion, are still treated as second class citizens. Isn't the GOP in the White House all male? If we get a woman President, a woman would bring more compassion and fairness into our government.
The non-stop wars are responsible for addiing billions to our already growing deficit. Funds are being being borrowed from social security to fight these wars. A lot of Americans only have social security to retire on. And, it's not very much. I posted an article from CBS about another VA scandal. Americans have paid into social security in order to have these safety nets. Extreme right GOP has consistently tried to minimize or completely eliminate public assistance. Yet, they continue to push unnecessary space programs and wars, which, like I said, only add billions to the already growing deficit. To me, this is not fiscal responsibility. It is a "for profit" system in order to feed the greed of those at the top. Originally Posted by SeekingTruth

The most far right president was probably Ronald Reagan and as your liberal likes to point out, he was so far to the right that he raised taxes and had an amnesty for illegals. There has been no far right government for you to reference. However, we can reference the far left governments of Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, and Obama.
Wilson passed laws that allowed government surveillance on the citizens and deported Americans for disagreeing with government policy. He even had a presidential candidate arrested (Eugene Debs) for making comments about the government.
FDR took property away from the people for all of his projects and many of the failed. FDR failed to get a handle on the Great Depression until World War II saved him. Even at war he intially failed by not being prepared (which may have prevented World War II).
LBJ's policies in the Great Society have transferred $17 trillion to the poor and we have more than ever. He also broke up the black family structure with his specialized welfare programs.
Carter....do I have to go into detail with this guy?
Clinton was saved by having a GOP Congress who got him to sign things like Welfare Reform, Don't Ask, Don't tell but he failed to see Muslim terrorism as a problem.
I could spend the next hour listing the sins of Obama but we all know them....except you probably look upon lying to the people to pass Obamacare as a virtue. Did it ever occur to the left that if you have to lie to pass something then there probably is something wrong with it?
Taking money from social security???? The government has been pocketing SS payments for the general fund since 1967 under Johnson and a democratic Congress (which allowed them to hide the cost of the Vietnam War). Where have you been?
Obama has been in office for over six years, when are you going to blame him for these "endless" wars? Or the fact that we are losing the wars that we're in. The VA scandal.... really grasping for straws now. We are to take you seriously because you "posted" and article about the VA. What's the matter, didn't think you could explain, corruption and malfeasance in your own words. When running for president Obama loved the space program and here you are shitting on it. Do you realize that you could fund the space program five times over with the money misplaced by HEW?
To conclude, it is your leftist, socialist policies that has pulled the country to where it is now. The right has not tried to get rid of the Department of Education, the FCC, or anything you can imagine. It has only been talked about but I can show you where the left has tried to vote away gun rights, basic freedoms, and impose itself on us for no real good reason except CONTROL.
