Vote Republican to deficit spend on wars and turn a blind eye to global warming. Vote Democrat to watch your hard earned money get eaten by taxes that go to pay for welfare mooches and have liberal social agendas forced down your throat. In their pure forms, they both suck. This country needs more level-headed moderates in Congress, the Supreme Court, and in the Executive branch.

There is nothing untrue in it but many of the items are also true of the Republican Party as well.

I'll vote only for Democratic Party candidates, since I'm a long ways from being in the top 1%, and the top 1% is ALL the Republicans care about.

There used to be some common sense and true caring for this country and ALL her people on the part of the GOP, but those days are gone.
Sure like those at the top of the Democrat Party care about you either. The Democrats aren't any better, unless you are a welfare queen with 3 kids and live off food stamps. They had control of everything for the first TWO years of Obama's presidency and couldn't even pass Single-payer healthcare. What they did pass behind closed doors, remember Pelosi said they had to pass it before they could read it, was something forcing everyone to pay for healthcare that most people can't afford anyway, or won't be able to in the near future, once the insurance cartels jack up the rates because they know they got you by the government mandated balls. We are still in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Bush tax cuts have been renewed. Gas is just as expensive as when Bush was ending his run. So tell me, what really has changed with Democrats in control? Sure the Keystone pipeline was delayed, and people under 26 can stay on their parents' health insurance. But can't you see, it matters not if its Republican or Democrat. The U.S. is a democratic republic and we continue to democratically elect a republic of millionaires who promote their agendas, while throwing the plebeian masses a bone from time to time.

Palin was never nominated by the party. She was selected by the nominee as his running mate.. Did you by chance ever take civics in school? Slept through it huh?

Glad someone sees it for what it is.

Sadly for several decades, elections are not about what is in the best interest of the country, but rather who will do the least harm. Neither party has had a candidate that could vulcanize the nation and bring them together.

Additional reasons:

If you want your taxes raised and the money to be squandered vote Dem.

If you think it is perfectly fine to pay a fee to keep your job and have that money go to support political opponents you oppose, vote Dem.

If you take no issue with Barney Frank denying F&F were in trouble please vote Dem to re-elect him.

If you can defend Pelosi saying, " we have to pass it to see what's in it" and vote to re-elect her....I'll pray for your recovery.

If you feel the half a billion dollars of taxpayer money lost on Solyndra was a good deal and prompts you to want to send more tax money to make up for that loss, by all means vote for that pattern of abuse to continue and vote Dem. There is security in predictability but it would be nice if you sought medical help rather than continue with destructive behavior that impacts the entire nation..
