how many democrats do not agree with leftist extremists and might vote Republican?

Question

forget the parties, how many dem's might vote for a moderate who happens to be a republican?

Answer 1

i am a democrat, but i am voting against my senator, because he is a traitor, he sells out american people to the illegals. i will be voting republican in the next election.

Answer 2

I think there a lot of people out there who do not identify with the platform of either party in toto. For instance, I think the tax cuts passed under Bush were in fact appropriate and should be made permanent. Taxes are too high across the board. On the other hand, the Republican's position on the environment has been atrocious. I wish the environmental party would also be the tax cut party. My dad is a self described conservative. He always votes Republican. When I question him on the issues, he sounds like a Democrat. He is pro choice and was against getting involved in Iraq. His reasons for voting Republican are based solely on financial matters. There are a lot of Democrats who I think identify with the fiscally conservative platform of the Republican party but not almost everything else. If they see a big spender coming in, they will go Republican.

Answer 3

I think everyone is too busy playing partisan politics to really address the issues because they're clouded in a blanket of rhetoric from both sides. Extremists on both sides are scary, which is why I'm an independent. I vote with my conscience and after deciding for myself, rather than voting how someone else tells me to vote. Last time around it was Kerry - not because I'm right or left, but because I didn't agree with Bush's first 4 years (I voted Libertarian in 2000).

Answer 4

I will vote for whomever is the best, without regard to specifically their party. I have to admit though there are far and few between that are republicans that I like. But then again, since i have been able to vote, it seems like it is always choosing the lesser of two evils. Maybe there will be someone running that we can really stand behind because they have a clue what freedom and democracy mean.

Answer 5

There was a spate of crossing over , a few years back. Primarily Dems declaring for GOP. I think that moderate Dems may vote GOP if the party can field its own moderate candidate.

How approximately those: If a Democrat would not like pot, he would not smoke it. If a republican would not like pot, he outlaws it. If a Democrat would not like gay-marriage, he would not attend the marriage. If a republican would not like gay-marriage, he outlaws it. If a Democrat would not like abortion, she would not have one. If a republican would not like abortion, she outlaws it. If a Democrat would not like what he hears on the radio, he adjustments the channel. If a republican would not like what hears on the radio, he censors it. If a Democrat is non secular, he retains it to himself. If a republican is non secular, he forces his faith on all and sundry.
