What have Republicans done for you? How was your life different/better during Republican administrations? How has your Republican governor, mayor, state legislature helped you?? And overall how have Republicans helped the country?
Keeping the Democrat from going all communist on me!

I can't ask for more.

If the Dems represent the bottom 20 percent, they would not be FOR illegal immigration. They represent one thing and one thing only: themselves. P*ss on the bottom 20% as they are so easy to fool.

Have you ever lived in a communist country? Do you know what it is like? If not, go learn a few things before you laugh again.

What have Republicans done for me? They've shut down as much of the democrat agenda as possible, they've prevented the democrats from banning firearms and making self defense illegal in favor of criminals, they've kept the democrats from "giving" us EU level taxes, the list goes on and on.
Except they aren't staying out of the way. They want to pass laws about which bathrooms you can use, what the definition of marriage should be, a woman's right to birth control. If Republicans were truly about leaving people alone and staying out of their way they would not be the party of the evangelicals.

Do you want a fifty years old man with a box of donuts watching your 7 years old daughter pee?

I will never, ever understand how someone can believe that a person who was born into wealth and is now a billionaire can represent the middle class. Just because he talks like a regular Joe...he has never know a life NOT steeped in luxury and has plainly said that if he loses he gets to back to his "really good life".

Well considering that every public bathroom I've ever been in has stalls, this isn't happening.

And it's that kind of hyperbole that make the far right seem crazy.

I take responsibility for myself and don't attribute to or blame my personal outcomes on any president or party.

I am not voting for either nominee.
