Don't Just Complain: Vote Out the Republicans

The Polls Are Open Across America Today

I'm not a big fan of single-issue politics. Often the narrow viewpoint allows us to lose focus on many big-picture issues. The world isn't so simple generally that how our elected official vote on one particular issue should be the deciding factor in which lever we pull.
However, Card Player Media is in a niche industry and we totally support those who favor our game. But even people who have no desire at all to play poker need to vote Democrat this year. The religious right is just too scary and does not represent the general feelings of our nation and freedom.

Whether they admit it or not, most people vote their pocketbooks. Unfortunately, history has shown that our pocketbooks are irrelevant when extremists of any ilk get control of jurisdictions and impose their views upon others.

That kind of imposition is just fundamentally un-American. Scary people like Frist, Kyl, and Leach are busy promoting their personal agendas. What ever happened to conservatives wanting the government to stay out of our personal lives?

And what is conservative about the Republicans converting the surplus they inherited into the biggest deficit ever, $8 trillion?

The U.S. is hated around the world. We're in a war that we have no clue how to get out of. And our leaders even debate what type of illegal torture is acceptable these days.

We must get rid of the Republicans and get back on track. Oh, by the way as far as Card Player is concerned, it's just because they are bad for poker.
