Where do you stand on voting? Are you more likely to vote democrat or republican?

Answer 1

I will probably vote Republican because, though I am unhappy with the results of Bush, he made educated decisions based on intelligence that was false. Others would have probably done the same thing. I feel that if Hilary Clinton or John Kerry run, our economy might fail or hit a depression, so I will choose to vote Republican based on democratic economic track records.

Answer 2

I vote for who brings greater freedom, low taxes, high individualism, but I look beyond republican and democrat party affiliation and look at the person itself running for office. I look at candidates that are republicans but politically would be close to populists, and democrats that are closer to libertarians, and also some republicans. People in both parties overlap politically on a lot of issuses. Find the in voting patterns some candidates that are republicans that vote more towards a libertarain pattern, and find democrats that skew that way too, and then you find republicans voting towards statism and populism as with some democrats. Most people that run for office fall in the centrists specturm once you stripped away the R and D under thier name. Vote for the person not the party.

Answer 3

Intelligent question. I vote for (or against) a candidate. I lean more to the Democrats. However, if they held as much power in Government as the Republicans did before our recent elections, I would have been looking for moderates from other parties..

I have been the flaming liberal earlier in my life. I have lived long enough to see the results of the one party rule prevalent at that time, and saw how a lot of unintended consequences occurred.

One of them was the creation of a welfare class that were better off on welfare than working. I worked part time during part of that time, also being on welfare. To make full time work pay, I would have had to earn over twice the income I was receiving from AFDC & Food Stamps to break even. When I was working part time to get training, the welfare office made my life much more difficult than if I had just stayed on my lazy butt. I was also only making 5 cents an hour more due to reduction in benefits Some incentive to work that was !!!!! Today I work part time when I can, am about to draw SS retirement, & I'm on Food Stamps. No hassles. Meanwhile the recipients of Food Stamps who are not working have to make several job applications a week for work & cannot turn down an interview or a legitimate job w/o losing all their benefits. Which makes more sense to you? I am now a moderate because moderate politics work better for most people than either liberal or conservative politics do.

I hope I have helped.

Answer 4

I am a member of the Green party, but in the last election I voted Democrat because I felt we needed to bring some balance back into the government. If the house, the senate, and the president were all Democrat, I MIGHT vote Republican, just for the balance. Otherwise, I look at the candidate and try to vote for the one who best represents my views.

Answer 5

Democrat

Answer 6

I vote because it is my duty and my right to vote. I vote because millions have fought and died for me to have that right.

I am a registered Republican, but I do not vote strictly party. If a Democrat has something better to offer, or his/her thinking is more along the same lines as mine, I won't hesitate to cast my vote for that candidate.

Answer 7

My stand on voting is if you don't vote, you have no right to complain!!!
BTW...Sheed....History has proven the economy and the Dow do best with a Republican President and a Democratic Congress and house....Second best?? All Democratic...do your homework.

Answer 8

I don't completely vote one way or the other, but I tend to lean towards Republican, especially after seeing how so many Democrats reacted to it. I think we need to be helping all we can and support our troops over there, but I also think we need to work on our policies here at home. One of my main problems with the Democratic party is that they support abortion and Clinton, two things I can't stand.

Answer 9

i would not vote for either party
America is almost 50-50 divided over the 2 parties
i think we need a third party to unite everyone together
and besides, all republicans and democrats do is waste time criticizing each other

Answer 10

I used to stand for voting Republican. I used to stand as an officer in numerous Republican Clubs.

Now I stand as as far away from the ballot box as I can. Now I stand for the proposition that, unless someone fixes the U.S. Supreme Court's abuse of its power and/or a constitutional amendment gets enacted which would fix the problem (as I perceive it), I don't see any point in voting.
