Just curious, coming from an independent:
Are Republicans the only people who have the knowledge, virtue, and wisdom to keep the country from going down the dumper? Are there not others who have some admirable characteristics?

Our political system is what it is. So realistically speaking, on all but local level elections, I typically vote republican 100% because with the hope that republicans end up having the upper hand.
There are good and bad on both sides, but the reality for me is that 75% of the republicans platform is what I believe in and if they are in power, I know that they will do a better job protecting my interests and concerns. I have no problem with independants or even many dems on a personal level, but I have great disdain for many of the dems regularly scheduled programs.
9/11 and the war on terror has made it tough going, but the core republican values IMO trump the dems every time.
