Oh, as much as I'm a Democrat, I considered doing a donkey with "spineless" written across it, but decided the other side doesn't need any more ammo.
As for the old Republican ideals like smaller government and states' rights, a balanced budget, a strong police force, etc. I can see where they're coming from. There *were* a lot of good reasons to side with the Republican party. But now that it has been co-opted by thoecratic nutcases who claim to uphold those old-guard beliefs but in actuality support corporate America, one homogenizing religion, 1984-esque no-end-in-sight war, unsurpassed deficit spending, and a sickening list of legislation designed to restrict or eliminate personal freedoms, I just don't understand how anyone without the need for a brain transplant can support the current Republican party.
The Democrats are certainly not blameless - we have a lengthy list of poor choices and horrible presidents, too - but the mistakes made through misguidedness, lack of foresight, or just outright stupidity don't balance out the current, coordinated attack on personal freedoms, the rights of the worker, religious freedom, the "liberal" media, the Constitution...
