I'm not a big fan of either party, but I'll give you the short answer to this question.
It's not what the Rebulicians want to do for me that currently makes me favor them over Democrats. It's what they don't want to do to me. The Democrats want to raise my taxes and force me to live in a more regulated society and I don't want that. As long as the Democrats want to raise taxes (or take away tax cuts ) and pass more bans, or regulations on just about everything (except some types of sex and abortion :notam: ) they will not get my vote.
You mean like the so called tax cut we got?? whoopie ding. What about the money spent overseas that could be used for our schools? no money for them but referundum after referundum for the schools and my property taxes go up to pay for the money the schools dont have so that tax cut didn't do me any good.
