In 2008, will you vote Rep or Dem and WHY?

Question

Okay, forget about Bush. He is gone. Many Republicans did not follow. What party do you want to lead your nation?

Answer 1

Republican or Independent. I cannot in good conscious support a party that has the like of the democrat party membership that includes Dean, Clinton, Streisand, Pelosi, Moore, etc..etc...etc...etc...

Answer 2

I love questions like this because it often demonstrates the level of hatred among political cultists who are bound to one party or another or to the goofy titles of liberals and conservatives. Some think that Dem equals liberal when in fact the Dem Party is mostly a moderate party (includes labor you know) and literally millions voted for Bush twice because the national Dem Party candidate was too far out there. Many conservatives think that the Republican Party is conservative but its not, its a moderate party too. This is a moderate country. Libs/Conservs are extremists who live on the opposite edge of the political spectrum and thank god they X each other out in elections. I am a registered Dem, voted mostly that way in state and local elections but have been unable to vote for national Dem candidates for last couple of elections. Obama and Hillary are not good candidates, Obama having no experience and too many questions about his background, Hillary is too well known and is ineffective and phony. I will vote for the best candidate but it may be someone obscure who is not out there yet, like General Clark on the Dem Ticket, and maybe Romney on the Repub. We don't know much yet. The Dem National Committee is completely out of touch with the mainstream Democrats of the US. People who rage against Bush or Clinton are wackos and count for nothing but noise, both were moderate Presidents who have ruled very much the same on major issues. The rest is just slogans and chants designed by spin doctors to work up the barking dogs. Counts for nothing in the ballot box.

Answer 3

Forget Republicans and Democrats. I'm voting Pacific Green!

Answer 4

It depends. If McCain runs on the Rep ticket, itis a definate. If Any non-veteran is not on the Rep ticket, then I will vote for the Dem candidate.

Answer 5

I have not been nor will I be voting for either party if thier is any other candidate on the ballet. They have all got to go, so I figure if enough of them get voted out, we can have totally new faces to complain about and point fingers at. Frankly, I'd rather have a random lottery assigning the various offices across the board, ruling out anyone who is in or has been in political office.

Answer 6

I'd vote Independent if that party was one of the predominant ones but that doesnt look like its going to happen.
I barely ever seen anything much positive come out with a republican president so I have much of a choice but to vote dem.

I think its best to look at the candidates and their track record in deciding who is the better person(Laff!) but again we have to go by the lesser evil again and again.
Sucks!

Answer 7

I hope to vote for Gulliani. I have voted for both parties in the past but at heart am a conservative. I believe that handouts given by the Dems only make people rely on handouts and they don't make an effort to better themselves.

Answer 8

I Vote the person and not the Party
Just happens mostly the right person is a Republican

Answer 9

I don't really look at which party should lead I just choose the individuals I can see could handle the office.

Answer 10

Democrats.
Republicans interests are too closely tied to big business.
Although I'm a support of capitalism, there are HUGE negative externalities (pollution) that require government intervention to address and the Republicans sure as hell aren't going to tell their buddies to cut down.
