[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]and maybe I don't mean persuade, but at least make me understand why you might feel the way you do.  I don't have to agree, but I'd like to at least feel like it's a rational, understandable decision to vote republican this year. [/quote]
Just curious:  what % of voters do you think vote based on actual platforms, policies, etc., rather than political party, single issues or height/hair/good looks of the candidates?  [/quote]

I'm sure a disappointingly large number (as evidenced by my facebook news feed).  But I'm looking to hear from the few percent who really are voting on actual policies and I'm wondering what those policies are and why they think they are better than what Obama stands for.[/quote]
Well that's a different question entirely.  One I can't help you with because I'm a white, well-educated, new rich, usually Republican voter who doesn't want to see more and more of my hard-earned money being taken by Democrats and going to God-knows-what and not doing much good.  And, yes, I'm a woman and I have daughters. [/quote]

Ah, ok.  Then no, you're not what I'm looking for :)  I can see if you're white, educated, rich, and desiring to keep as much of your money for yourself as possible, that voting republican would probably make sense on some level (social issues aside).  Incidentally, I'm white, educated, and comparitively rich myself, but I feel very strongly about having good social safety nets, healthcare for all, access to abortion and birth control, and opening marriage to same-sex partners.  And I'm willing to give up some of my money for these things.  But it's all the poor blue-collar workers that would die-hard Republicans that I don't understand.[/quote]
