Jamalisms Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Beyond just acknowledging some of the worst things about the Republican Party as a whole, (individuals protecting themselves at the expense of others, and abusing the word of God to incite some votes), reasons I find myself constantly voting Democrat in national elections despite trying really hard to find reasons not to, he says he would have stayed a Democrat if he could do it all again... and he said the smartest thing of all - he voted for Al Gore because he knew Bush too well. The truth hurts. http://www.freewoodpost.com/2012/03/25/newly-found-reagan-journal-reveals-the-former-president-regretted-becoming-republican/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I had already heard about Reagan voting for Gore because he really knew George W..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonboy Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 The whole 2-party system is screwed up. We're a very LONG way from it, but I would love to see a day when people really voted for a candidate rather than a party. When you sit down and think about it, it's really pretty insane the way all the pork-barrel legislation and logrolling work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NashvilleNinja Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 The presisdent doesn't matter much and he's bought and paid for before setting foot in office regardless of party.

SleepingTitan Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Presidents who stand up to bankers die. Plain and simple. If I had to guess, Obama knew he'd be signing over TARP before he was elected. I'd like to be less cynical, but I'd rather be marked a conspiracy theorist than a fool who had no idea.
