Absolutely. I'm so sick of hearing the name calling and attack ads on the different parties. I'm looking strictly at the issues for this next election regardless of who is republican, Democrat or independent.

Hell yes! Although I vote conservatively, I choose who I believe is the best person for the job( usually and unfortunately the lesser of two evils). I have no loyalty to any party, because I don't believe that any of them have a 100 percent interest in what is best for our country. There is too much greed and corruption on both sides! There is a thin line between the 2 major parties, when it comes to being crooked! Nevertheless, it won't stop me from voting. I always pray that I am making the better of the choices, when I vote!

Of course - If you voted a straight party ticket then why bother to study the issues or the candidates. One should vote for the best person for the job.

I vote for whomever I feel best represents my interests. I have a friend who votes straight Republican and others who vote straight Democrat. I will argue with any of them. Party lines are for lazy people.

Foley is now not in place of work (that's considerable). Lewinsky become never in place of work, yet bill Clinton become (that's considerable). sure, they count to human beings different than independents- it quite is ammunition or a scar. Dems dont all vote blindly and Reps dont the two. there is an increasing form of moderates who're not keen to vote in elections for the two social gathering. The airborne dirt and dust slinging from politicians has became off a exceptional form of voters, so till they supply reasons to vote FOR them rather of reasont to vote against somebody else, voters will proceed their love/hate affair with politics commonly. that's probable the biggest explanation for the widespread "social gathering line" vote casting as we've seen at the instant.

I am a democrat but if I thought that a republican would do a better job, then I would vote that way. I am a free thinker and not bound by blind loyalty to anything or anyone.

I am willing and able to vote outside my party. The most important thing is to elect the best candidate....

I believe that most of us (Any Party) has the intelligence to vote for the person we believe to be right for the job, dispite the party.
However, there are some who believe strongly, in supporting the party they belong to. While I personally consider this to be poor judgment, it does exist.
Many people need to be taught that they can vote outside their party and still respect themselves and others who do likewise.
