[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Oh good.  More unsubstantiated sweeping generalizations.  Please tell us how dems took your hard earned money.  Which policy did the dems pass that took more of your hard earned money, and how is that policy bad and not worth the tax increase or whatever you are referring to?  Do you even know how they took your money, or do you believe it simply because your favorite talking head told you that?  If they did in fact take more of your hard earned money than the republicans did, then maybe you should figure out the "God-knows-what" and you might find that it was put to good use and will ultimately benefit you.  good luck with your research![/quote]
Calm down. I said I can't help answer the question and I was just offering context in response to the actual question posed.  The pp who I was responding to seemed to accept my response for what it was.  And what on earth do you mean by asking if "even know how they took my money"?  I know because last year I wrote checks totaling more than $450,000 and sent them to state and Federal tax collectors.   [/quote]

No, you see, it's people like you who drive me up the freaking wall.  I don't care what question you are answering.  You stated, on a forum that has hundreds of views so far, that dems are taking your hard earned money.  I'm simply asking you to tell us what you are referring to.  We are tax payers too, so if you know something that we don't, please share.  But if you have no idea what you are talking about and are just offering context (whatever you mean by that), then you need to STFU.

So your answer (if you want to call it that) is that you paid taxes.  this is new for you?  You did not have to pay taxes under Bush?  Wow.  No wonder you want Obama to lose.  Are you trying to say that Obama has raised your taxes?  If so, then please tell us what tax increase you are talking about.  If you have received a tax increase from Obama, you need to do some math before you tell us about it though.  You need to consider all of the tax cuts you have received under Obama.  I'll give you a head start:  look at the Payroll Tax Holiday, 2010 Tax deal, and the 2009 stimulus.  Now.  You need to crunch your numbers.  Compare your tax increase to your tax cuts, and then tell us how it turned out.  Don't care to do all that work?  fine, then we are back to STFU!

BTW, I know that there are tax increases that have been proposed by Obama, but that's a different discussion.  I'm happy to have that discussion with you, but this is not the one because you clearly blamed Obama for the $450,000 you have already paid in taxes.  You didn't pay that because of tax increases that do not yet exist.  So again, why are you blaming Obama for the taxes you paid?  [/quote]
