Because when ever a bill is written supporting giving more power to a minority group or removing restrictions because of being a minority, almost always it is a liberal democrat behind the change.  Republicans are typically conservative, and the definition of conservative is to resist change.

Because most Republicans are for less government involvement in your life and LOWER taxes.  Most, and not all, Democrats want to give everything to everyone and enjoy having a class of society dependent on them, such as welfare recipients.

Don't know, don't care. I vote for the best person, who most closely agrees with me and my views. If they happen to be a gay republican so be it. Yes, I vote manly for Repubs they are closer to my views then the Dems. I have and would vote for a Dems. If they could just tell me what they stand for instead of just tell me to vote against someone

There are two types of Republicans in my opinion- those who are Republican because they are rich and enjoy the way our economy works, and those who are Republican because of their moral beliefs.  I think that when deciding which party to belong to, many Christians try to pick the lesser of two evils (ah, the irony).  They choose the Republican party because of their moral beliefs and then, with the other side of the Republican party's ideas in mind, spend their money to help the poor through their church rather than through their government.  There's far less bureaucracy if done this way, and you know your money will be going towards its intended use.  I also think there's more emphasis on homosexuality and abortion because for one, the government has many services in place to help the poor and impoverished (redundant?), so their efforts are placed elsewhere.  I also don't think that in the time Revelation was written that abortions were as prevalent as they are now.  It's become a bigger issue, so people have made it a greater cause.  \n\nHowever, you pose an extremely valid question.  I've become increasingly fed up with the way big business works in this country (and others), and I really SHOULD do something about it.  I think you've just indirectly encouraged me to give more to Christian charities and pay way more attention to candidates and stuff.  I might even take up reading the paper again.  :P

Evangelical fundamentalist are being used by the Republican Party. The Republicans know what this group of people believes and that they will all follow the leader. So even though the Republicans do all of the things that the EF are against, they hide that and try to scare the EF into thinking that a vote for a Democrat will be a vote for sin in a hand basket straight to hell.  \n\nI have never understood why anyone in the working class would ever vote for a Republican! But some are very gullible and just don’t understand politics. They are being used and none are so blind as those who refuse to see.

I consider myself to be a TRUE republican, and I make it a point to vote every four years for our president. I did vote for Bush and would vote for him again. All my years of voting, I have never voted democratic and don't feel that I ever would. My view on most democrats is that they work too hard to give our hard earned dollars to welfare recipients. I realize there are many women who will need welfare assistance to get on their feet, and that's fine, but there needs to be a limit on how long and how much they can receive. I promise to vote at the next presidential elections.

Still sounds like good enough reasons to be Republican in my book.\n\nEDIT:  They'll never get it.  Eye for an eye.  Don't pass children through the fires of Molech (hedonism).  Don't worry about it, they'll get it when a criminal has a gun to their head.

REPUBLICANS HATE BLACKS, THAT'S FOR SURE.  THAT'S WHY 95% OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS DEMOCRAT.

I almost always vote for one party over the other but just so I wont be a zombie I refuse to vote straight ticket.  \n\nI used to know a very old man who was illiterate and he would go into the voting booth and look for the donkey at the top of the ticket and punch straight party.  He would say, "The donkey means Democrat.  And Roosevelt was a Democrat...and that makes me a Democrat"  \n\nRepublican or Democrat don't give up your individuality for the party.

Because the GOP has been more successful than the Democrats at using social issues to attract people - most who wouldn't benefit from Republican economic policies. \n\nPeople do vote against their economic self-interest, if they have a compelling enough reason. Last election cycle, the GOP made it imperative to include a gay marriage initiative on most ballots. This was their main focus, and it caused people who hated gay marriage to vote, often for the Republican party. \n\nAnother example was under the first Bush, who made flag-burning a political issue - it was an unsuccessful attempt to turn out morally conscious people to vote for the GOP, even if under close inspection, their economic policies would not have directly benefited them as much as rich voters.

Ronald Reagan was a rich white man that favored the rich Republicans. Why would African Americans who are mostly Democrats trust him?

Actually, most are highly intelligent. Bush has given them some treats and ohhh, how they love their money.\n\nHere's what I don't understand; how can blue collar, middle class people vote Republican? It's like biting off your nose to spite your face!

... I don't think people know their best interests from a hole in the ground....\n\nthe south votes mainly for Republicans... they are statistically the worst in eduction and the poorest... yet they vote for a man who focuses tax cuts on the wealthy and passes legislation that hurts public schools (no child left behind)... and not only that, but many in the Republican party want to privatize education, which would end up being basically you could only get the education you could afford... in other words.. .the south would never recover and only grow worse and worse...\n\napparently they think one man not having an affair is more important than the entire next generation of children... so much for priorities

It's not just you...\n\nThey tell themselves it is not about being mean.. they justify it by saying they know best.. that those ppl are just poor white trash or poor welfare blacks that don't work... meaning they blame them, therefore, think they are not worthy of help, etc..\n\nThe reality is that more white republicans are on welfare; although, it is a close tie. The reason is because of the lack of jobs in the vast Midwest states which are prominently white registered Republicans.\n\nThe other reality is that we, the democrats, believe in diplomacy much like when years of diplomacy brought down communism in the Soviet Union. Yet, the Republic party calls us weak just because we believe in saving American lives when at all possible.

People in rural areas tend to have less education and they tend to stick to old ideas. Republicans just now how to appeal to these kinds of people. Liberals tend to use logic to analyze the situation rather then following their emotions. In cities there are a lot of ideas thrown at you allowing you to look at things from a different perspective from different people, which is why liberals tend to support diversity and equality.
