Help me pick my political party?

Question

I cant vote for rebublicans because i dont agree with there morals. I cant vote for democrates because I dont agree with how they spend money. I dont want to be a third party. Who ever covinces me to be republican our democrat gets best anwser. Oh yea, I just turned 18 so ill vote for the best anwsers party.

Answer 1

let me ask this: how often, other than listening to the news, are you affected by the morals of the republican party?

how often are you affected by the way democrats spend money?

Answer 2

I'm going to answer your question with a question. Why would you pick either of two parties? Especially when they are both in actuality saying the same exact thing. For instance the highest fraternity in the world is the Skull and Cross Bones which is the nursery for the Freemasons. Both candidates Bush and Kerry belong to the Freemasons and where Skull and Crossbones in college. If anything is going over your head do your research. Now keep in mind these fraternal brothers where in essence the only choice of the American people. So ask yourself, is a Bi-partisan system a choice at all?

I know that you may be saying well there are new candidates coming out, and Bush can't be president again. Well my eager voter "a" Bush was in fact president for three terms in my lifetime, not to mention the head of the CIA. Think about how many personal interests/agendas one "family or faction" could control while being the "leader of the free world" for 3 out of five terms. Certainly your personal interests fall nowhere on their true list. Many will dismiss what I say and believe that their country is running smoothly and in their favor. I'm going to have to give a preemptive laugh and shrug while saying "just wait and see"

Answer 3

I'm republican, but don't agree with their morals either. I agree with their more political policy, such as lower taxes, less handouts, stricter punishments. You can always vote against their more moral-influenced laws. You don't have to vote for the same party all the time. I want to have Democrats in office as well to keep the union going and battle those moral issues. Straight-Ticket Voting isn't necessarily the most wise thing to do.

Answer 4

I am not sure which morals you are talking about. You will always find Republicans who are scum and you will always find Democrats that are scum. The same for any political party, it goes with the territory.
You have to look at what the party stands for and what YOUR ideas of the way things ought to be. No matter which party you ultimately choose, there will be candidates and office holders in that party which you absolutely do NOT agree with. Just as you are choosing the political party to vote for, rather than the party choosing you, the same thing happens with candidates. The Republican party did NOT choose John McCain and the Democratic party did NOT choose Hillary Clinton. They chose the party.
Now, if you believe that the government can and should control most aspects of your life, then you are probably a Democrat. If you believe that you are capable of managing your own affairs and spending your own money the way YOU want to spend it, then you probably are a Republican.
If you believe that your empathy towards people with serious problems is more important than whether what you are planning to do for them will actually help them, then you probably belong in the Democratic party.
If you believe that another social program is NOT actually do any more than just spend a lot of money and cost hard working taxpayers their money, then you probably belong in the Republican party.
If you believe that ANYONE with a lot of money should have it taken away from them and given to some poor homeless person, then yes, you are a Democrat.
If you believe that the Laffer Curve is correct and that excess taxation actually reduces tax revenues and that hard working people should be allowed to keep most of their money, then you are a Republican.
It you still can't decide, then you are one of the approximately 20% of the voters who are always listed as Undecided. About 40% are Democrats and about 40% are Republicans while about 20% just go with which ever sound bite they happen to hear last before going to the poles.

Answer 5

Join the most powerful political party of them all: THE INDEPENDENTS! You're the guys who swing elections by daring to vote for who you think would do the best job! (Imagine that...)

You don't have to follow or vote in state primaries (which are boring as hell, by the way), you get all the free food you can eat at campaign rallies, and you'll never have to worry about the president being an embarrassment to your party!

(However, if you'd have to pick one, pick Democrat. Ask any girl: liberals are better lovers in bed.)

Answer 6

You don't have to pick a party when you register to vote. There are pro's and con's to each party.
If you believe that living in this capitalistic society you should be able to choose how hard (or not hard) you work, and therefore reap the benefits or suffer the consequences of your actions then you may be leaning a little more towards the typical republican belief system.
If you think that you should be granted all the privedges everyone else has regardless of how hard you work then maybe you are a democrat at heart.

If you believe in "One Nation Under God!" and your right to that belief then maybe you are a republican.
If you think that we should "Keep Your God Out of My Uterus!" then maybe the democrats are for you.

In my opinion the democrats seem to lean towards a more socialistic government. In an ideal world this is a great thought process. The problem is that it doesn't work. Human nature will take over and if there is no "reaping" of what we sow then there is no motivation to sow.
I strongly believe that while intending to help those who truly needed a hand, a wonderful thing to do, we have inadvertenly created generations of those who have not been taught anything but wait for someone to come bail you out.
I know that this is a tender subject and I do not mean to minimalize all of the tradgedy, pain and suffering, but, that said, I lived through Hurricane Ivan. When it was over we stepped outside, got out our chain saws and dug ourselves out. Then we went in search of our neighbors that needed help.
Then there was Katrina; I know that there were many trapped, and many who did not have the means to evacuate, and my heart goes out to them, but days and days later people were still waiting for someone to come and bail them out. What were they doing to help themselves!!!
This is not ment to be finger pointing or belittling. My point is that if you help people too much they will forget how to help themselves!
Therefore, most of the time I vote republican. (Even though I am a registered Democrat!... I was young and Idealistic once.)

Mostly you need to weigh each candidate on their stand on the issues that are important to you and look at their track record to see if what they do really matches what they say.

Answer 7

The country is going to hell in a hand basket and the next election is all about electing the usual suspects. I think the TV and radio are always about getting the team player elected so nothing will change.

If we don't change the status quo this election cycle we are all in for a rude awaking soon. I can go into details but it would take to long time.

I am switching to the Constitution party.

Answer 8

Honey, vote your conscience. I am a Republican, because I do agree with their moral values, we love our country, and we die for it, however, if you don't see it that way, then you don't. There is no convincing here, there is just your heart. Follow it, no matter what anyone else says or thinks. I am not you, and cannot tell you good, and bad, right or wrong. I only know what I feel, and think.
Who says you have to be in a political party to be good, and right? I am never always right. No one is, or can be. We must figure that out for ourselves.
If you decide not to be a Republican, or a Democrat, so what? I believe you will decide for yourself, truth, justice, goodness, faith, and honor, all by yourself.
Follow your heart, and you will be just fine. Bless.

Answer 9

There's no best answer.

And you don't HAVE to pick any party. You can register as an independent then make decisions according to who/what makes the most sense to you at that time.

Each office that's up for election, each issue that comes up, etc., should be thought of as an independent entity. We need to get away from "towing the line" cause it's gotten us nowhere as a nation.

Answer 10

As an American you could vote for anyone you feel is worthy of the position/post the candidate is running for. You don't have to be in any party just vote facts not propaganda.
