Having faith in just the party and not the person voted for is like having blind faith in anything.

Maybe - maybe not. The problem today (and at times in the past) is that Party Unity rules in the eyes of many politicians. If you are a free thinker and weigh each issue on it's merit the chances are you will rub someone the wrong way and loose the support of your party and probably end your political career. The most objective politician I have seen (except Ross Perot) is Obama. He seems to examine the issues and isn't always in lock step with his party. I cannot for the life of me understand why a Republican can look at a bird and say it is blue and the Democrat will look at the same red robin and say it is yellow. The results are the same on political issues.

I never vote without thinking, but did vote straight Democrat in the last election. It was the first election I ever did that. Alot of people did. We wanted to make the message unmistakably clear. A "mandate" if you will.

Before people are allowed to vote they should have to take a Bill of Rights knowledge test.

united strength and its decision is more power full than a person and his personality!
