Why I will never vote Republican
I posted this on Daily Kos but I thought I'd post this to get your reaction...

"On November 27th, I will turn 18 years old. When I first joined DailyKos in 2008, I was 14 and freshman in high school. Now, I am a senior. A lot has changed since then. I transferred to a new school, only to return a year later to attend two business classes. I own a very small business designing websites.

But what has not changed is my support for President Barack Obama. I am even more committed to supporting our President. I have seen President Obama working to repair the mistakes of George W. Bush. He has been fighting for healthcare reform. He has been fighting for job creation. He has been fighting for the middle class."

1. Welcome to DU
I'll never vote rethug because I'm smart enough, and can think for myself.

5. Thank you...
I'm not really new. I signed up to post when I was 14 but I was banned because I over-did it with posting too much Barack Obama fundraising messages. I've learned my lesson. I'm back to talk politics -- not spam.

3. K&R. Very well said and congratulations!
If only long-time voters were as informed on the issues as you are. I remember my first vote, as well, and wishing you a lot better luck on your first several votes than I had. The first president I voted for who won was President Clinton. *sigh* :hi:

11. YEA
He is also escalating wars, while saying he is not, he is still torturing people at guantanamo bay, he did not let the PATRIOT act expire, instead he resigned it to law. Oh and lets not forget he also resigned the BUSH TAX CUTS, and made them the OBAMA TAX CUTS. I completly understand why nobody should ever vote republican, but lets not ignore the issues the current administration has, regardless of party NOBODY should be followed blindly.

17. I've been...
away for a few years because I was promoting my Barack Obama fundraising page in 2008 so I was banned, I believe.

But I'm back to discuss politics.
