But you're willing to give up more liberties by keeping the SAME party in the White House....yeah...THAT makes sense.

Personal freedom, minimal taxes, national security, and a belief in true free enterprise are all too important to me.


With what we have in the White House now, the terms "Personal Freedom" and "National Security" are becoming mutually exclusive.

The next time everyone bitches about evil corporations and all the horrible things they do, everyone needs to be reminded who's signing that huge portion of Americans' paychecks and whose stocks you have in your 401k's.
They can do better and still be profitable. Costco anyone? Wegman's anyone? Both of these companies treat their employees well - even though Wegman's is in an industry with razor-thin profit margins. Who's one of the leaders in bringing alternative energy to themselves? Google. I'd be happy to have them in my 401(k).
