There are many, MANY reasons why I wonder why people vote GOP. Social issues are a part of it, but not the entire issue.
I'm not afraid of Romney or Ryan...though I am afraid that the American people will be dumb enough to vote for them, which in itself is quite frightening.
Lesser of 2 evils. Most of these outlandish posts are about freaks in the GOP that will never come to fruit.
Like many independants I will be voting for Romney for 1 reason , economics.
The man dosnt even have to do a damn thing as politics is perception and how people react to what they think he will do will be good enogh.
And we should entrust our healthcare decisions to men like these.
Actually no, the government shouldn't be involved in your healthcare decision. But since you want things for "FREE", you get to be told what you can and can't have by men.
I you think Obama's recession is so terrible just imagine what it would be like if we has a Palin Presidency. Most likely McCain would have succumbed to stress about two years into his supply side great depression and left the world to Ms. Palin. Then we would probably be trying to recover from the massive losses from our pre-emptive war with Iran.
Considering just how much "wealth" went away in 2007-8 our economy is doing about a good as can be expected.

Exactly what I was thinking!
Thanks for spelling it out for everyone's edification.
These social conservatives continue to embarrass us fiscal conservatives. Stacey Campfield is an idiot.

Haha..true. If you want a male-dominated government to give you free birth control and everything else free, then you better be prepared to subject to their idiosyncrasies too.
Isn't it interesting how ever since Mitt Romney selected Paul Ryan - the left has been so scared by that they have suddenly become fascinated by social issues? Wasn't it the left who used to criticize conservatives for focusing on social issues - but now we have some like JetJockey above wondering "why anyone would vote GOP at this point" - as if the election is about a single social issue.
It is all deflection out of fear - fear caused by Paul Ryan being named the GOP running mate - because that means that Romney is focusing the election on what it is about - the economy.
President Obama has failed to effect an economic recovery - we are in the Obama recession - unemployment is still high - the deficit has exploded under his administration - people lack confidence and seek hope - and change.
There is hope - we can get change: Vote Romney/Ryan in November.
NEWSFLASH: Having an unwanted pregnancy that will cost a woman thousands of dollars and perhaps her job IS an economic issue to women.
But then, since when do Republicans care about what happens to women?
"Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield (R) falsely claimed on Thursday that it was nearly impossible for someone to contract AIDS through heterosexual contact."
Alright, by a show of hands, who's with me that we absolutely MUST begin asking all candidates for all offices to withdraw their names if they can't pass IQ and basic science tests?
The morons are taking over, people. We are DOOMED.

You missed something.
The government does not pay for abortions......so why do you think the government should be able to tell a woman whether or not she can abort?
Fact: Many times birth control medications are used for reasons other than birth control. It is used to treat medical conditions. I guess it is OK for insurance to cover medications that men need for their health conditions.....but if women want the same option......they must become slaves to male politicians to obtain it.
Yea, Republicans view women as lesser than.....we get that....and we won't be overlooking that fact come November.
