Here is why I usually side with Republicans... But I have liked McCain forever especially because of his bipartisan efforts throughout the years. Seeing him bring both parties together on things has always made me respect him more than most republicans... I saw this video and thought it pretty much summed up my beliefs.

Those of you who actually took economics in college might have a clue about "Reaganomics", if you don’t understand economics your really cant make a good argument for either side then. Reaganomics was the most serious attempt to change the course of U.S. economic policy of any administration since the New Deal. "Only by reducing the growth of government," said Ronald Reagan, "can we increase the growth of the economy." Reagan's 1981 Program for Economic Recovery had four major policy objectives: (1) reduce the growth of government spending, (2) reduce the marginal tax rates on income from both labor and capital, (3) reduce regulation, and (4) reduce inflation by controlling the growth of the money supply.

Reading that policy how can you NOT side Republican? It’s easy to follow someone who seems all glorious and has a large celebrity following, but do you really have a clue what they really stand for. I think if some of you really understood the fundamental basis of the Democrats you just might change your mind, or even give pause to think about what it is your really supporting. Is it because everyone you know in your town is democrat and so you side with them, is it because he seems like a cool candidate. Its easy to be cool when you have no background to prove that you would be a good leader.No way to see what he would do as President when he only voted PRESENT like a hundred and something times and didn’t vote yes or no… Is that really the kind of President you want, someone who sits back and lets others do the deciding for him without having to take a stand and make a decision??? Chances are he will do it again since he has a proven track record of doing it!

If you do understand and you still believe in him more power to you because as an American we have the right to believe. I just want people to know why they are supporting one side or the other and not just supporting someone for nonimportant reasons.
