Average Joes Cling to Guns and Religion

It’s hard to believe Barrack Obama had the audacity to say that we Americans cling to guns and religion to determine our political views. There are many other reasons that we chose candidates and loyally support our parties.

The first of these is Defense. After all, we all know that Republicans are notorious for being tough on terrorism and are incredible leaders at times of war. Although George W. Bush really has been a poor example of presidential leadership, there are others. Look at Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Harry Truman, all incredible men who led our soldiers to victory. Oh, wait…they were Democrats. And if Republicans voted for people just because they served in the military, they would have voted for John Kerry over a man who avoided combat. So perhaps defense isn’t a good example.
