Date: September 6th, 2010 12:32 AM Author: aphrodisiac institution People used to vote based on the candidate. Now there is way too much partisanship, as well as a huge portion of people who look down on the other side.
Even if you were a democrat, you would consider voting for either guy. Now in many circles if you're a democrat and even think of voting for the republican candidate you'll be labeled a racist. |

Reagan pretty much destroyed America, but look who he ran against - Jimmy "let's bend over and get fucked as a country" Carter.
