For Americans only I guess - are you dedicated to one political party or the other?

Question

Do you think one of the parties (Democrat, Republican, or other) totally represents you and always deserves your vote? Or do you think there are good leaders and good ideas in both parties and actually give some thought to who you're going to vote for?

And if you go strictly for one party, why?

Answer 1

There was a time when there was good and bad in both parties. Racist Democrats assured that 90% of the African American vote and a majority of the Liberal Vote went to Republicans, Teddy Roosevelt was elected but that majority.

Only when Herbert Hoover became the worst president ever (till then) were the Democrats able to have a shot. Franklin Roosevelt was able to take the liberal banner because the Republicans had abandoned it, but there was an especially varied mixture for many years.

When Nixon ran, he reached out to all the racists and religious nut cases, who had been pariahs in booth parties, and began to forge an alliance between Kleptocrats, Theocrats, and Racists, and drove out everyone who was not like them from the leadership.

However since they knew that they had an alliance of Pariahs, they also adopted the style of the Communists who were also pariahs, in particularly the propaganda and authoritarian behaviors. Even then many of the old Racist Democrats stayed, though they voted Republican.

As Nixon fell, some very rich men who hated Freedom and Democracy, found a group of professors at the University of Chicago, and a plan was born to conquer America, and put an end to the Liberal Experiment that up to that point had been quite successful.

Fast forward-That semi-open conspiracy now owns the Republican Party, Because of a mistake by the founders, any third party hurts most the folk they agree with most. So the only alternative is the Democrats.

Because of the massive 40 year propaganda campaign many honest Republicans have no idea what the fight is really about, or what the Democrats really think, and so cannot think of voting for any of them, unless the party tells them to, like was the case with Joe Lieberman.

All the Democrats I know, (and that includes a lot of exRepublicans) know about the Conspiracy and are doing all they can to stop it. But if not forced into the only choice, they would be a dozen different parties, with Freedom and Democracy the only common agenda.

Answer 2

I am an independent, although often mischaracterized as a republican because of my conservative values. I have always believed in voting for people, not parties. I review the person running based on their record, or in absence of record their platform and then make a decision based on who best reflects my interests and opinions of the way I think things should be. Unfortunately these days it appears too many do not represent any interests other than their own no matter what they call themselves party wise.

Answer 3

I don't think any party totally represents me. I vote Democrat, but am not for abortion. I think you have to vote with the party that most represents you beliefe system, but are not expected to agree with everything they do.

Answer 4

I'm more dedicated to a philosophy than to a party. I'm a conservative first and a Republican second. I would vote for a Democrat who was more conservative than the Republican against whom he was running, but in today's Democrat party, that's not a very likely scenario.

Answer 5

I am an independent Libertarian leaning towards Goldwater conservatism so no one party fits me.

The demographics of the current big 2 parties are dramatically different from what they were 30 years ago.

Answer 6

i think anyone who thinks they have all the answers and wants to run the country should be taken out and shot, or at least not let anywhere near having power. Since someone has to do it, I guess we'll put up with them, and their incompetent corruptness on both parties. As for politics, i am a middle of the road type, like most americans, they call us the silent majority, its the fanatics and crazy one issue voters out there who are ruining this country.

Answer 7

I consider myself to be, and vote Republican mostly as it most accurately reflects my conservative Judeo-Christian values.

Many of the democratic ideals that the DNC formerly represented in this country have been lost to liberalism; therefore, morally incorrect and never in my mind will be politically correct.

There are good people in both the Democratic and Republican party; however, the most visible "trolls" in the DNC tend to be the most popular. That is scary to me. On the other hand, the most righteous candidates in the RNC are the most slandered and misunderstood in the public thanks to the maniacal reporting of twisted lies by the mainstream media, Hollywood, and left-wing lobbyists in this country.

I vote for the candidates that profess to, and/or have a record of upholding the values I hold near and dear.

Answer 8

Very close. definitely, contained in relation to Obama, had human beings actually understood the outcomes that his avowed regulations could have, they could in no way have voted for him. yet Obama supplies a solid speech, and with the perfect typhoon of the credit cave in assembly up with tiredness on the Iraq difficulty, Obama ought to probably have gained by way of using sitting on his front porch.

Answer 9

I always vote Democratic. Some you win and some you lose. This time we won for a change.

I'm a Democrat because I hate the things the GOP stands for. Anti-choice, environmental degradation, the intermingling of church and state, the Bush era, the partisan politics of hatred. The use of wedge issues to divide Americans is one of my favorite GOP stunts along with the manipulation of the electorate (See Florida, 2000). Swiftboating has brought politics to yet another GOP inspired low.

And the GOP and the Grand Poo-bah, Dubya, has shown how easy it is to get us into a filthy useless war based on lies. No matter how you slice it, Iraq is dung. And Bush sold us dung disguised as national security.

Answer 10

I would never box myself into one party. I am Independant and I have voted for every party when I think that party is best for our country.
