EXPLAIN WHY YOU VOTE DEMOCRAT, PLEASE.

Answer 1

I understand why people stray from Republican outlooks.. Because almost all of them are stupid, ignorant, and don't look past their own religious beliefs.
I gave up caring about someone's party affiliation. The only reason that affiliation matters is so I can vote in the primaries.. That's it.
I'm going to vote Republican this time around because I respect the hell out of Ron Paul and his political beliefs. He's smart and he actually cares about what people want. Every other candidate (no matter what party) has shown any interest in what the people of the country want (with exception of Kucinich).
So forget about party affiliations. Who cares if someone is Republican or Democrat or whatever. Look at what they believe and how their beliefs work for you. That's what really matters.

Answer 2

Well this answer is a two parter, first, register to vote and as a Democrat, then vote for your democratic choice. I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure thats how its done. If you asking how could someone vote idealogically for democrats, then I guess it all boils down to your personal beliefs. I may have misinterpreted the question but it sounded like it was being asked as if voting democratic was extreme, immoral, or audacious. I dont think thats the case given the fact that democrat is a word that comes from the word democracy, which is what we are living in, and also democrats make up a rather substancial amount of registered voters as well as actual voters. Its easy to draw a line in the sand and say your either with us or with the enemy, this has often been done in history and not always but alot of the times it has been done using religion and breeds religious extremism. Given the effects that religious extremism has on peoples of all nationalities, beliefs, and times, I can honestly say that I have never been confident in that approach. Keep in mind that the current republican party touts its high moral and religious ground, which they use to empower and mobilize their base. Pretty much what I'm saying is religion is an easy tool to use when drawing that line in the sand, and republicans use that tool more often than not to get what they want, thats why I vote democratic.

Answer 3

I vote Democrat because I feel this party addresses my needs more than the Republican party. Democrats look out for the poor and middle class. The Repubs are for the rich, wealthy and large corporations. The Democrats want Health Care for all. The Repubs say we can't afford it. The Dems voted to raise the minimum wage. The repubs want to continue to waste money on the Iraq invasion instead of going after the real terrorist in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The republicans are responsible for the large deficit and the fact that we are borrowing money from China and Japan at alarming rates.

Answer 4

Given the violations of the our constitutional rights, the reckless foreign policy, and the disregard for basic human rights of the current administration, how can anyone show their support and approval of such policies by voting Republican. When the party in power becomes corrupt they should be voted out of power. If are as you claim, a Jeffersonian Isolationist conservative you can not support the policies of the Bush administration and the only way to change them is to vote for a democrat for president, but with a republican congress to control spending..

Answer 5

You just asked this question, why have you asked it again?
Anyway, if you are a true Jeffersonian isolationist conservative, you should already know the answer to that. For starters, today's conservatives are not isolationist at all. Look at this detailed list I compiled a while back...
Conservatives today are conservative in name only. THIS is what they stand for today:
Fiscal irresponsibility, willing to grant amnesty, invading privacy of the citizens, not protecting the environment, subsidizing big businesses, trying to interfere in issues better left to the states such as the same-sex marriage issue, not taking responsibility for the party's actions when they are supposedly the "Party of Accountability", raising executive privileges to monstrously high levels, adopting a policy of interventionism when conservatives used to be isolationist, so many things...

Isn't that a good enough reason to vote democrat?

Answer 6

I vote for the candidate, not the party. I vote based upon my own beliefs and opinions.

I have voted Republican twice, and Democrat five times in Presidential Elections. I simply voted for the best candidate, that is always right for The USA.

Answer 7

They pull the lever. But sometimes they accidently vote for Pat Buchanan

Answer 8

Because the last 7 years of considering greed to be a virtue and compassion a weakness has resulted in most Americans being worse off (median wages down, poverty up, unemployment up), and yet further in debt than we have been since WW2, a foreign relations mess that will take decades to resolve, our enemies stronger and our influence and reputation at an all time low.

Answer 9

Can I just recommend a website? Have a look and see if you really disagree with this guy. He wrote a book called "What would Jefferson do?", so maybe you have much in common. And he is definitely a democratic voter. www.thomhartmann.com

Answer 10

To get rid of our chronic national hangover and stop the hateful and harmful culture wars launched by the GOP.
