For Republicans and Democrats?

Question

.....and all in between: Do you think that it is because of our dis-like for one another that we allow ourselves to become blind and do things out of hate instead of for the well being of everybody?

What i mean is, many people vote for the person in their party even though they do not think that person is the best qualified. They think that just because that person is in that party, that person thinks the way they do.
Don't you think Republicans do things just to tick off Democrats and vice-versa?

Answer 1

I do not believe so.
For example, in my state of Connecticut, we will defintiely elect the Republican Governor, based on her record. she will probably get 60-65% of the vote. The Republican running for Senate will probably get less than 5% of the vote. (Because he is truly incapable of representing us). Most Americans vote for the best candidate, not by party line. I in fact voted for Joe Lieberman in 2000 for Senator, and against Joe Lieberman in 2000 for Vice President, because I thought he was the better senate candidate, yet not the better presidential ticket. Party affliation had nothing to do with my choice.

Answer 2

I think both parties play off the shortcomings of the other...but neither party works for the good of middle-class Americans!

Both parties, but especially the media, are getting miles from the Foley scandal...this is not an America altering event.. it goes to morals only...Iraq, Korea & Illegal immigrants have the potential to negatively alter the lives of all Americans. Those are the issues that need to be considered when voting!

Answer 3

I hate this 2 party system. Even if someone other than a Dem or Rep were to run, they wouldn't get anywhere.

Sometimes it comes down to voting for the party because the party's views are closer to yours.

Answer 4

Humans are competitive and no one likes to admit that they are wrong. I am a Republican but I used to be a Democrat. I see both sides of the coin. People just need to vote for what they believe and not what they are told.

Answer 5

I think we vote for who shares our values and who we think will do a better job within government. No two people share all of the same ideas, but if you have something that is important to you, you will vote for the candidate who shares that idea. If you are voting then you definitely are voting for who you think is most qualified, otherwise you would have no reason to vote. People don't vote out of spite, they vote because they want to change the future.

Answer 6

sure they do,but the important thing here is to vote regardless of how you feel..you could be in pa and have the choice of bad and worse ! i don't like either but in this case will vote on party lines..by the way, i would vote for a conservative democrat to , i'm not that small minded..f y i

Answer 7

All one can say is America is ripe for political reforms, including political parties, and it is high time a third party emerged as people are apparently fed up with the two party system!

Answer 8

Yes, it has become a war of the parties and is not good for the whole. The important thing to remember is that both sides feel strongly that their philosophy is best for USA.

Answer 9

noooooo.... you're so off in this one. we at the instant are not here choosing sides by way of fact of a few clique. We (as republicans) understand what is going to take place if the Dems get the means they are searching for. they'll make a large number in another u . s . a . that we like. We (US struggling with adult men and ladies) have laid our lives on the line to guard the way of existence that we like. we at the instant are not approximately to sit down down and enable them to take it remote from us.

Answer 10

yeah because they don't want to turn their back on their own party to vote for the other one.
