Does (R) and (D) matter when your voting for a candidate?

Question

Does it really matter is a candidate has a (R) or a (D) in front of their name. I vote for the best candidate. I have voted for both at one time or another.
This time seems (R's) are getting wierd. I can't believe I am saying this but the (R's) are torturing people. It is like a bad dream. The are breaking laws the other United States leaders invented. We are supposed to be the good guys. The (R's) are selling us out to China. The (R's) seem not to care about the constitution and human rights?
Does it matter this time if you don't really like the (R) candidate. Who are the (R's) you like and why?

Answer 1

Rs vote for big money and big tax breaks for the wealthy. The working people have to pay extra to pay for these tax cuts. They have cut spending for the old, the infirm, the very poor, and children in order to fund "corporate welfare" and tax breaks for the very wealthy. They are war mongers, because war makes tons of money for the wealthy. Our Americans dying for this does not matter to them, only money. Note that their kids are not dying over there. The whole world hates us because of them. Terrorism will be increased for the next 100 years because of the hate they have generated towards us.

They have had to cut money returned to states because of their tax cuts for the wealthy. This in turn means state taxes have to go higher, but they don't get blamed for this. This also causes cuts to education spending, but they don't get blamed for this either. I could go on, but this is getting too long.

Democrates want to help the working people. They only want to go to war to protect us, not to make money. They want working people to have tax breaks and do not believe they should pay higher taxes for "corporate welfare". They want to help the poor, educate our children, give health care to the very poor and infirm and children. Again, I could go on but this is getting lengthy.

After they made a mockery of our justice system by pursuing Bill Clinton the whole 8 years he was in office and refusing to let him devote his time to running the country, I would never vote R again. Ever. It should be noteed that most of the congressmen behind this hunt had full time mistresses.

PS: Shorty, Bush himself says there were no WMD. Or can you read and hear?

Answer 2

Actually the rs are not getting weird,they re not torturing people,they re not breaking laws,and they re darn sure not selling us out to china, Bill Clinton has already done that long ago, All those rumors are being said toget attention,They have no plan of theyre own,No agenda,,No clue. They attack the Rs because they dont have their own answers,But to keep you from knowing that,They cause confusion,For instance,the Ds are screaming'THERE ARE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION,You here it all the time,but we just discovered 500 canistersof wmds,but you didnt here much about it the Ds said those werent the wmds we were after,does it matter.....they were wmds,Carl rowe,one of the smartestpolitical men there are,OUTED VALERIE PLAIN[WHATEVER],forced him to retire due to policies involving an indictment,Scooter Libbey beingprosecuted,for perjury,not for what the grand jury was looking for,but a shake up,when it was someone who now 4 months later confesses it was himself,,But didnt have the guts to do so while the HEAT WAS ON.Do you ever hear much about the truth once it is revealed,,,,,NO,because the biasly controlled media MADE THEYRE POINT, IT DOESNT MATTER NOW THEY SUCCEEDED IN WHAT THEY WERE DOING AT THE TIME REGARDLESS OF WHO IT HURT,OR WHAT IT COST......THEY MADE THEIR POINT You have to look at the whole picture at all times,thats what allows them to get by wihout any penalties

Answer 3

One of the great things about our system is that you can express yourself when and how you wish. If you don't like a candidate, vote against him/her.

There are people. in other parts of the world, who would give an arm to be able to vote out a vicious leader. They don't have that privilege and instead have to bend and stoop and grovel in the dirt because their leader wants them to. Saddam' s sons raped and ravaged the Iraqi people anytime they wished.

Answer 4

Of course it matters. The agendas of the parties are radically different. The Republican party exists to serve the interests of corporations and the wealthy eliete who control them. The Democrats look out for the interests of the people. I would never vote for an "R".

Answer 5

Yes the last 6 years have been a bad dream. For me it matters if the person has a thoughtful plan, which few do. Therefore, R or D, doesn't matter to me.

Answer 6

All I can say is that I agree with you, I do like (R) Senator Grahm though, who openly opposes Bush's actions in the mid-East.

Answer 7

PhilS has it down pat.
