In the same 26 years he voted for tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of America 27 times.

This republican is voting for Obama because we have tried a trickle down economy for eight years and look where this nation is now! Could it get any worse with Obama/Biden? I am a Arizona Republican and I will be voting for the intellectual ticket, Obama/Biden.
