If you plan on voting this fall, is there any particular issue that will affect your vote/get u to the polls?

Question

Anti-Republican, Anti-Democrat, kick em out, Iraq War fiasco, Katrina failure, High Gas prices, etc?

Answer 1

Bush is a moron and the rest of the lapdog republicans have allowed him to get away with pretty much anything.

Answer 2

Oh, I'm definitely voting split ticket this year; a difficult proposition itself in western Kansas. I've already decided on most of the races. Thinsgs get tricky, however; Kansas is about as close as I've seen to a three-party system in a state race (Time said the same thing). The past ten years or so, there have been a large block of "moderate" Republicans that vote "good sense" on individual issues (not to say they all vote the same way on all the issues: they actually reflect what their constituents want). So, have I decided to vote for?
Sebelius for governor. Yeah, no kidding. A moderate female Democrat who has not only held her own but has managed to get a good portion of her agenda through a Republican dominated (2:1) legislature; most of which I agree with (esp. greater funding for schools, budget reform). Plus, she has a career Republican running as a Democrat for Lt. Governor, a balanced cabinet; and she's been named one of Time's Top 5 Governors.
State Board of Education, District 7. I'm going with kick the bum out; so as long as Ken Willard is gone (along with the rest of his religion-as-science cronies), I will be happy.
US House of Representatives, District 1. Another incumbent vote: Jerry Moran. I don't trust John Doll.
US Senate: Unfortunately, neither Roberts nor Brownback are up for reelection, otherwise, I'd vote against the both of them.
KS House District 117: This is the one race I'm pretty well undecided. Larry Powell (R) is on the Appropriations, Ag, and Ag/Nat Resource Budget committees, but really, I don't have much else to say about him. Or his opponent, Duane Mathes (D) who switched parties to get his name on the November ballot.
As for the other races, I've got a couple months to bone up on the issues.

Answer 3

Yes, we need to break the stranglehold the Republicans have in Washington. I like our Senator who is a liberal Republican (oxy-moron?) but it may be time now to vote for the Democrat opposing him. I always split my ticket but for the good of the country we need a balance in Washington. 2008 will be much more important but 2006 should prove to be interesting. If we put a halt to the Congress and Senate putting rubber stamps on everything the President does it will be better for all of us. I think we are headed toward another 1968 and if you were there you remember the US and the whole world was shaking like never before. Perhaps that is what we need.

Answer 4

Yeah,...I'm just wondering what plan the Dems have for winning the War on Terror? So far, all I see is ***** and moan everytime the administration does something. Yet, they don't have any plan of action except to cut and run with their tails between their legs.

So no, I won't be voting for a Dimbulb Democrap. They're too weak on homeland defense. Thanks to Klinton and his cronies, we probably wouldn't have had a 9/11.

Answer 5

My issue is to restore checks and balance to the system, with one party rule and especially the repuglicans in power the money has shifted to the top 5% and left the poor and middle class behind. It is time to restore balance to the government because the best legislation comes out of compromise and not totalitarian rule.

Answer 6

The fact that congress, specially the House of Representatives, has allowed and in some cases helped this administration ruin this country..

Answer 7

Keep the military strong, continue to fight the terrorist's, and do something about the out of control costs of health care, and health insurance
