Which makes it very hard for me to vote Republican.

    You can change. You can.
    Now this is a proper snowclone.

    If we can make this a legitimate (and civil. Don't forget the civil part) discussion, cool.

    I'm going to delete any further snowclones, though.

    I should stress that I in no way intended for this to be a serious discussion, but if you guys want to make it serious that's fine.

     All of the above, probably. But the most significant factor in the past few decades is that millions of evangelical Christians have decided that God is a Republican.

    A lot of people agree with the economical positions, which is a messy situation. It's not as easy to argue as social positions.

    A lot of people agree with the economical positions, which is a messy situation. It's not as easy to argue as social positions.

    For me, my #1 issue is I want to avoid the whole world except China and Iran becoming Greece.  I think the odds are already against us.  I dislike right - wing extremists just as much as the average "anybody but the Republicans" voter, but I'd rather make a deal with the devil than give up.

    As far as the social positions, I do sympathize with people that worry about issues like sanctity of life and zero tolerance policies getting out of hand, which also are (sometimes) Republican issues.

    Good people don't end up here.
    Because they see them as preferable to the alternative?

    I'm no economist, but I think the Republican party is a lot less likely to have the best interests of those who aren't part of the upper class in mind.

    And historically, I think the economy has been in better shape under Democratic leadership. Things were pretty good when Clinton was president, and Bush ran a huge deficit.
