The thing is that the people you are referring to in this are so obsessed with social issues like gay marriage (IT THREATENS MAH MARRIAGE SOMEHOW) and abortion that they'll vote Republican without caring about anything else either party stands for.  My mother in law is a good example of this.  She is your typical hardcore Christian voter who is so threatened by gay marriage and abortion rights that she probably doesn't bother to listen to what either side says about economic policies/healthcare/etc.  Also, I'm sure the fact that the President is black bothers her though she'd never dare admit to that fact.  Same goes for the majority of voters around here I'd wager.

Guns are another one.  I know a handful of people who vote straight GOP, because the Democrats want to take their guns away, despite that being contrary to the best interests of their pocketbook.

Yeah, how dare they not vote government handouts for themselves.

I got my absentee ballot shit from Husted today. 

[MadImmortalMan]

None of the Dems I have the option of voting for on the local or state level want to take my guns away.

Well that's the odd piece that is missing in this analysis.  Dems aren't really a party of the balanced budget either so while it would be in people's short term to vote for Dems - you're eventually going to run into a problem where you don't have money to fund all the freebies.

I don't know of many Dems anywhere that want to take anyone's guns away.  You can't convince the derspiesses of the world that though.

That cuts both ways.  Plenty of champagne socialist types who vote NDP or Democrat despite the fact that economically, they'd be better off with Conservative or Republican policies.

I'm curious how you think their pocketbooks would be served by voting Democrat.  Serious question.

[Eddie Teach]

Diverting money from our overlarge and misused military to pay for national health care would help most people's pocketbooks.

I got my Wednesday.  And since I plan to be in Argentina in November, I'll have to do the absentee thing for the first time evah.

I plan on being in my lazy boy chair.

I hope they can tell from the absentee ballot that you're white, so you don't have to worry about producing ID.

Sherrod Brown wants to take mine away.  No clue about the Democrat running for the seat in my House district, but the district is so solidly GOP it doesn't matter.

I might go ahead & just vote early.  In which case I'll proudly show my very-difficult-to-obtain state-issued ID.
