HUGE political question to those who hate Bush and the republican party Republicans can respond as well?

Question

Ok i will get to my question in a moment i just want to explain my ground and what i believe. I do not believe in voting for a paticular party because one is republican and one is democrat. However I have voted the majority time for the republican. I do not believe bush is as bad as people put it but i do believe he is not near one of the greatest we have had. My problem and part of my question in a way is how can i vote for the democratic party? I vote republican most of the time because it seems that republicans are willing to make a step or try to make a step. Sometimes there steps take us back in the wrong direction, but at least they have effort in going trying to go forward. My problem with democratic is that i hardly see any movement. They seem to sit on things. For instense KERRY i didnt see a single reason for voting for him. He just bashed never really had his own plan. This seems to be a trend because i see many democrats still doing this. MY question to you

demicrats is how does your party plan to change the crying game and go to take initutive? If i seen a democrat willing to take that step i most deff. would vote for them. WHo is running for president in the democrat postion? REpublicans can respond as well!

some of you are missing my point i am not saying that bush is great (exept in the bedroom) lol but what i am saying is will there be a strong democrat that is willing to take a step and not just sit back? I mean all i see from democratic party is he did this and did that i want to see there policies i am really interested in there own idea not based on what they think of the current president

WELL SPOKEN JAY
THANKS

Answer 2

I am a Democrat because it is the political party that represents and protects workers. I do not need anyone to tell me how to vote. The Party that has things for "blue collar workers" always has my attention. The party that talks to the rich, I don't need anything from them or do I want them to lead anything. The Republican Party is more suitable for the rich. They don't do anything for the average working man. They are against minimum wage, they manipulate the NLRB, their tax structure is aimed at the working man, while the wealthy get all the breaks. They tend to side with rich "white America", while the Democrats are looking out for all Americans. And by the looks of how Bush is running the country, it is worse off then when Clinton was in office. At least with Clinton everyone had a job. With Bush, according to what his advisers say, the economy is great. But most Americans know that is not so. I do not want to be associated with a Political Party that denies how things really are.

Answer 3

As an independent, I evaluate each candidate based on my views of major issues.
Your stated reason for voting republican is the same reason I lean democrat: republicans are willing to make a step... even if it takes us in the wrong direction. Action purely for actions sake, making a move without considering the consequences of your move is extremely dangerous, especially when it is the government. I don't *want* a government that moves backwards in order to show they are doing something; because believe it or not, sometimes the best course of action is not to act. Sometimes the best plan for the future is one that doesn't exist right now. And sometimes, the only solution to a problem is to admit you are wrong.
And I don't see any of that from the Republicans. Not that I see much from the Democrats, either.

Answer 4

I didnt see a reason for voting for Kerry either, but I did.
Compared to Bush, you can not go wrong. Unless the opposition is Hitler.
They are taking steps forward more then the republicans I just think they are not as assertive about it.

I can understand why many people call them "*******". But I feel they are way more progressive then the republicans. Especially with key issues like the environment and quiting out dependency on big oil.

Come on. Bush is spending our money on a fraudulent war a huge fence built on racism.

Answer 5

First thing..I think we have to accept that our presidents are not the "greatest we ever had". I think it's been that way my whole life. and before!
Bush has been handed a lot of hot potatoes in his term(s) and I for one, don't agree with his gameplan in the mideast. How long has it been since we have been looking for that little piece of crap? Too long! I am a BushBacker, but don't always agree with him.
They all, as we do, have faults. I have an obligation to vote for the one that has the least.
Willie Clinton?? He let us see how he reacts to just a little pressure , that really didn't harm anyone
till he lied like a little boy! I don't want someone that weak running my country.
Reagan got a number of things acomplished.
Jimmy Carter, was known more for his bark, and not his bite, didn't scare too many, I think. Great guy, and his wife, but not to make decisions in wartime. We all accused Reagan of wanting to push the button. A little sword ratteling goes a long way when the one that's rattling is feared, even to the point of RUMORS, that he has never pulled his sword out without drawing blood. You remember... Mr. Gorbachov..(I think) "TEAR DOWN THAT WALL"!!! and it was done.

Ford?? zzzzzz
Kennedy? again, I beleive his actions/motives (marilyn, and others) speak for themselves. I don't like liars, or people that do immoral things to harm their own families, just to have some sex. I have actually heard Clinton female supporters say that what he did wasn't bad. and that it really wasn't sex.. SOOOooo.... I can get a 'quickie' at the office and it's OK?? It's unbelievable...the justifications people come up with.. You think he would've been satisfied, and not acted like Clinton, (or a slut). They broke the solemn oath there is, to their own partner. I don't need someone like that in my camp!
I don't do the 'PARTAY THANG' anymore. I vote for the person.

Answer 6

Bush took us more than a step back, nothing has improved since he's been in office. Oh yeah, except for Big Business.

I dont know how or why anyone could honestly vote for bush after he brought us into this mess in the first place, I cant think for the life of me how anyone can agree with stubborn, unwavering policy that is about to bring us to another world war.

If there is anyone that can bring armageddon and/or the down fall of the USA it is George W. Bush.

Answer 7

It always seems that the Republicans want to expand power and strength throughout the worl wealtd, to intimidate. They only try to change things to benefit their agendas. Democrats at least have a sense to look at the whole situation before jumping into the fire (I.E. Iraq) If you don't want to vote for a dem. or rep. then vote independent, they usually have in mind what is best for the country anyways.

Answer 8

Hillary or Edwards,, maybe Kerry ,,, Republicans have brought nothing but war, torture and disgrace to their party,, Democrats will take back America from the evil and wicked who have reigned too long,, Bush has bankrupt the USA fiscally and morally

Answer 9

Just don't vote democrat then. I couldn't either, though I'm not a Republican. I vote a mix between independent and Republican. But just because you are against the democratic party and their "principles" doesn't mean you are Republican.

Answer 10

Conservative Libertarian here:

What initiative? What crying game? Sitting on what things? A step in what direction?

Answer 11

if i dont feel comfortable in voting for either, then i wont vote, as was the case last election.
