This is a perfect example of why I don't understand how people vote.

Generally speaking, Republicans will vote against their interests in hopes of having something they want returned, even by the ones who took it away in the first place. It's not logical. It's magical thinking coupled to desperate hope. Makes my heart hurt to think about it, really.

Yeah, that sounds normal. I don't understand it either, It makes no sense. But I blame us for letting it happen. Did you know that most people don't even know that Pres. Obama is mixed, not wholly black? Basically our nation is now over populated with consumers. People whom do nothing but buy the next biggest shiniest thing, WITHOUT understanding what it does, just because FOX news or GOOD MORNING AMERICA says it's the "COOL THING". Now if people would pull their heads from their wallets which are wedge in their derrieres and actually READ and CHECKED facts for themselves this country would be better. And I know this is true because I have had people come into the store that I work in looking for something they have seen on TV and buy it, for themselves (I asked) WITH OUT EVER LOOKING AT THE BOX! They just buy it! I've had people return things with in HOURS because they stop and look at what they bought and realized they bought an infant toy for their 8 year old. Or something to the effect. I've also had people walk through my entire store (which is a TOY store, it says it in the name even) and come to the counter, which is at the back of the store, to as if I sold TOYS!!! And yet these masses of 'people' are responsible for picking our nation's next leader and make informed decisions while doing it?! I mean, does what you read make a bit more sense now? How they can have that circular logic? Here's another one ~ I've met two people, on different occasions, in the area which I live that believe, I mean passionately believe that we live in a Geocentric world, which means that the ENTIRE universe revolves around the Earth, that the earth DOES NOT rotate, but the sun rotates around us, giving us day and night cycles. Both of them were registered voters, both of them believed that I was lying when I told them (and showed them) that we live in a heliocentric universe, and both were Democrats. We have issues.

It's called party loyalty, and people will be loyal to their party no matter how bad their candidate may be. Party loyalty is the probably the number one reason that things are becoming as bad as they are, and I think that we should all give up party loyalty and demand better. Vote third party.

Which begs the question why are people voting for Obama again? It defies all logic.

Because he has an R beside his name. That is why they will vote for him. It all comes down to party instead of the candidate. Especially in South Carolina. But I think a lot of people are that way all over the county from both parties . They align themselves with a part and whoever runs on that party ticket gets their vote. And we wonder why we have the government we have...LOL.

All I can say is WOW! Some people deserve what they get with that type of thinking.

Debater, The problem with understanding that you are having is that you are still blinded by your ultra liberal sociocommunist president. I'd you could see past him you would understand that Romney, the only other viable choice, no matter how much you dislike what the company he was once associated with did, he still beats 4 more years of the Obamination and his agenda.
