I voted a straight Democratic ticket this time around (Independent here) with no hesitation whatsoever. My vote, even as a straight ticket, was directly related to Iraq.

I did not vote in protest to the problem with the southern board because the Dem's are for illegals being here even thought it pushes wages down and harm the labor movement-yet the unions always seem to side with Dem's. On the other hand i didn't want to vote republican because they are the only electable party that can be prod-ed into closing the boarder and I knew that if they got in that wouldn't happen, so I am hoping that the issue gathers momentum sometime in the coming years. The problem within the republican party is the so called moderates=Liberals (Libertarian wing-j McCain and the like) that want cheap labor and thus an open boarder. I here much of talk from republicans (not conservatives) that the party needs to be more moderate but if that is the case than why can't the Libertarian Party (the best funded third party get any votes out). I think Social Conservative Values i.e. pro life,pro gun,pro family values and a strong boarder get the Repubs in power next time. Moderates (non-Conservatives) lose hands down and the Dem's know this that's why the Media always pushes people like J-McCain an unelectable national candidate. I'm an independent (un-enrolled) from Massachusetts, and my politics are right of center(Pro-Life Pro Labor), so i know my vote doesn't matter much but i think this is where the country is at.

Your asking about the masters of making sure that people dont vote the issues there were what 5 orange alerts in the 8 months leading up to the election and none in the 8 months after. The last thing the Bush boys want is for u to vote on issues. Thats why he slandered McCain so bad in the 2000 primaries. And why the GOP picked a retard over a war hero

I don't vote, but I certainly would've voted against the majority of republican platforms if I did.
- You forget that far more leftists were against this war then rightists.
- Most of these democrats are not leftists.
- Voting against republicans is still voting against republicans, if some republicans voted against republicans because of Bush, then it shows how easily republicans will change their ideals when they see they did something wrong. IE: Try to clean up the mess rather than take responsibility for it.

You know.
You can vote for dems and vote for the war.
Or, vote for bush and against the war.
Bush and war are not the same things. Democrats (the ones in power) wanted to go to war too. Its a constitutional requirement for the Congress to do the "declare war" thing. So, really, before Bush, people voting for dems were (and this is a wacky thought) voting for the war too, witrhout realizing it. politics is fun huh?

I voted Democratically because I am a moderate democrat. However, it gave me great pleasure to know that I was also voting against Bush, the war, & republicans in general.
I have voted republican & will probably do so again but they'd better clean up their act - I'm tired of their holier-than-thou attitude & corruption.

In many ways they are one and the same. If I am against the high deficits caused by the Bush tax cuts, and the Dems are, too, then which is it? If I'm against writing blank checks to Haliburton, and the Dems are too, then which is it? It's hard to separate the two, since the Democrats are FOR many of the things Bush is against, and vice-versa.

All the haters voted not so democratically .They do not have a clue so what do you expect.The schools have dumbed down the younger generation so they can spew hate and the voters believe them.Sorry state of affairs in the US,it gives me the creeps to think of the consequences.

I am not sure what you call "really voted Democratically,? What kind of strange world do you think democracy exists on? Do you really believe that a vote against Bush was an undemocratic or illegitimate vote?

I voted against Bush, it obviously didn't work but I feel voting is a great privilege and could not live with myself voting for Dubya
