Hell, I know Repugs who even vote for reps they hate. They just "vote republican" because.... they always have... they always will. It's kinda like evangelical religion.... you just do it. Don't think! Just do as "tradition", no matter how obsolete, dictates. My friend, who is not high up on the economical ladder, was complaining about Obama last election. I asked her "are you really...REALLY gonna vote for Romney?" "He's a asshole" "But you're gonna vote for him..." She looked confused. I said. "Fer Christ sake, just hold your nose and vote for Obama. And if you can't bring yourself to vote for a black man, which you know is your problem, then just don't vote at all."
