OK, why shouldn't anyone vote Republican?
What angers you the most about what the Republicans have done or are likely to do? Yeah, I know, it is near impossible to pick just one.
The most despicable thing the Bush Crime Family has done in my book has been the Human Rights violations at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and in our own prisons where people have been held without access to legal representation and some have even been murdered. The entire Republican Party, and too many Democrats, have supported this criminal activity.
I feel like Americans will all be judged for these actions as long as history books are written. They make me ashamed to be an American.

1. Just for fun,
I'm going to list the reasons CONSERVATIVES shouldn't vote Republican:

1. The Bushists have created massive deficits instead of showing fiscal responsibility.

2. The Bushists have gotten us in a foreign entanglement that may take years to get out of.

3. The Patriot Act and the Shaivo intervention, both instigated by Bushites, increase government interference in everyone's life.

Traditional conservatives should be appauled by a government that believes in budget deficits, foreign adventures, and big government.

3. that really should be enough, you know
Why is it that the Bush campaign was able to threaten people about what Democrats might do by using specific examples of his policies, having done all of those very things, and then get away with it?
