Either way, you're pulling for an utterly corrupt party which has been selling the country out to the highest bidder for decades. Well played, dupes

I'll tell you exactly why. In the past I was a registered democrat as a young adult and gladly voted for Bill Clinton. I later voted for AL Gore but honestly wasn't sure if he would be a good president, but I felt he was likely better than Bush.
Next it was John Kerry, I voted for him because it was clear to me that Bush needed to be removed from office. I didn't think kerry would be another Clinton but he was good enough.
However, my right to have my vote counted was stolen by Republican lawyers due to a supposed mix up on my voters registration. I had to use a provisional ballot and later was sent information stating my vote was thrown out along with thousands of others.
I was one of the victims of the great Florida election theft and yes it sure as hell was a theft.
From that day forward I decided that the reality is that no one persons vote really matters, therefore I was always vote aginst the Republicans just in spite because they don't deserve to be a political power in this country with an significant power.
After this experience I registered as a independent out of fear I'd once again become victim of voter fraud at the hands of Republicans in a red state.
It will be a happy day for me when that party dies it's long overdue death.
I will say I would have voted for Obama in both elections regardless however I feel he's really let this country down, specially this last term.
He did however do what I expected of him in his first which was to get us out of Iraq and refocus the war on terror. It's just a shame he fell for the same BS as Bush with the whole NSA nonsense.
At this time I would gladly consider a independent candidate or a democrat but I will never again vote republican. While I never voted for a republican president I did vote for other republicans for lower offices if I felt they were better. That ended with the theft of my vote.
