There is no valid reason to vote Republican
I can think of three:
a) The far left hates our freedom and wants to violate our Constitutional gun rights. (Note: Does not apply to moderate Democrats, but the far left may in some situations drive the agenda for the whole party.)
b) The far left hates our freedom and wants to disarm the US military so we are unable to defend freedom and democracy around the world. (Note: Does not apply to moderate Democrats, but the far left may in some situations drive the agenda for the whole party.)
c) The Democratic Party disenfranchised Michigan in the 2008 presidential primary, and as a Michigan Democratic voter I have enough self respect to not let the matter slide.
"Point A" is a particular concern when you consider that Democratic judicial appointees tend to universally oppose the Second Amendment.
Obama has no chance of getting his anti-gun agenda past either the NRA or the moderate Democrats, but he can still appoint freedom-hating justices to the Supreme Court. Consider that at the moment we only have five justices on the court who actually support the Second Amendment.
"Point B" is less of a concern at the moment, as Obama seems willing to fund most of the vital new weapons systems that our military will need in the near future, but future presidential candidates may not be so accommodating.

He chickened out when he had an opportunity to stand up to a lynch mob and defend a stranger. But that doesn't mean Republicans are universally bad.
