Poll question: Your number one reason
Assuming an election were called tomorrow and presuming you were asked by exit pollers, what would your number one reason for voting against the Republican's be? I know, most of us have dozens, if not hundreds but just pick the most egregious here.

9. Good call
I picked tax cuts for the rich, because all that corporate fascism results from that sort of thing.

3.  Good answer
And I agree - a lot of those are more general to Republicans - but the number one way this congress has failed has been that they have abdicated their responsibilities - they aren't watching Bush they aren't providing any sort of counter to his authoritarian and boneheaded way of running things.

But also there's Iran - putting Dems in will make it harder for Bush to do Iran and that's a good thing.

4. All of the above and some more
The republicans have this country in such a mess that we will be paying for this for decades to come.

8. I say values (or lack thereof) because everything else
is emcompassed by that.

You don't go to war with Country B because a bunch of people from Country A attacked you. Then lie about why you went in. Over and over again. WRONG.

But also the "love thy neighbor" thing. Civil rights, rights for GLBT people, etc.

10. values/principles
Governing by Machiavellian princles = moral cowardice and pisspoor leadership.

11. Judicial because this will last for a life time.
The rest can be cleaned up but the judges he appointed, not only the Supremes, but the lower courts are unbearable.
