Reply #9: Many different reasons

[Anarcho-Socialist]

One excuse I've been given often is "the Democrats will put-up my taxes" and for certain people it's an issue as dumb as that. Trying to understand why the economy is better off when the Federal government isn't wacking spending (and tax-cuts) on the national credit card can be difficult for people who think only simplistically.

The same can be said true of the other consequences of voting republican: loss of reproductive rights, rises in poverty, botched foreign policy and cuts in social spending. Some people are either too greedy or dumb to see through all the GOP bull***t.
