Democrat, Republican, or Other Party/Independent/just won't vote?

I've read about how some polls are revealing that Democrats are going to take back power and that a lot of people are tired of the Republicans who have been in power for over 10 years and been, in many ways, even worse.

How will you vote next presidential, congressional and senate race? Or are you just fed up with both partys and either won't vote or vote for an independent who sticks to his guns (Constitution party et al)
 
I vote for the person...

...not the party, so I can't answer your poll. At the moment, for this election, Republican. But I keep hoping for better options.

Holding my nose and voting 'Pub. 'Crats are even worse -- MUCH worse, 3rd parties are just not viable and serve to enable the 'Crats.
 
I'm a Liberal pansy. I hate pick-up trucks, guns, barbecue, rednecks and most of all beer and southern women. I have to go now; I'm late for our PITA fund raiser.

Pick-up Trucks -- That's what I drive, F-150.
Guns -- Yep.
Barbecue -- Yum.
Rednecks -- Hmm, might my neck be that color? Plenty of them in the family on both sides, that's for sure.
Beer -- I like it too much for my own good, so I quit.
Southern Women -- married 2 of them, 1 from Tx, the other from Tn.

....and the State of Texas.

Texas -- Home. I may live in Ga for the time being, but Tx is HOME.

So -- what does THAT make me?
 
I don't vote by party line, I chose each canidate individually. Sometimes, by party. If that's the case, I'll give the third party canidates the vote, and that's usually at the low end of the scale, where third parties have the most chance of winning, and I don't know enough about the canidates fielded by the big two.
 
Let me see...asking how people are going to vote, HERE on some gun forums...I wonder...I'll just take a look at the results...SUPRISE! Never saw that comin...

I'm going to vote democrat just to cancel out the vote of my crazy uncle...

But I'm going to look hard for a pro-gun democrat. (I'll letcha know how that goes, just as soon as I get to the end of this rainbow I'm chasing)

SInce throwing them all out and starting over isn't one of the options, once again going with those who atleast SAY they think more like I do win out.
 
"So -- what does THAT make me?"

A Liberal would probably say an inbreed, but I'm a Liberal or a troll. It just seemed like a silly question on a Pro-gun forum to ask, so I was being obnoxious.
 
How will I vote? I'm in the process of reviewing voting records right now for incumbants. new never elected candidates are a little tougher. I'll vote for whomever follows the Constitution, not many incumbants here. My vote in national elections will have to be third party it looks like, the Patriot Act and H.R. 6166 (3930) pretty well gut the Constitution/BOR.
The Republicans have had 6 years to repeal gun control laws and haven't done it, if the "War on Terror" was real the borders would be shut down, if the "Arabs" were the intended target, the BOR wouldn't be under attack.
A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil. Things will only get worse if we continue to elect people who don't vote the way we tell them to. Loyalty to the Constitution is more important than party loyalty. Hell, I'm old enough to remember when the conservatives were the Democrats!
It's all smoke and mirrors. Just my .02, end of rant.

BTW anybody in GA seen the latest commercial with Mark Taylor (the BIG guy) with a pinocchio like nose. I almost fell off the couch LMAO!!!!
 
Like that Spinach recently

Go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jez2tnwExs Throw it all out. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch. They have been there too long. They have too many ties with big business and party with corrupt world leaders. We need fresh faces with incorruptible souls. Change will do us good. They are one party due to their corruptness together. It's like good cop, bad cop. We need a second party. I wondered why Google bought you tube for so much.

It's almost kinda funny how we're still in Korea. Tell your nephew to stay away from the local women...:D

A buddy of mine served a little time there and could tell you some stories all right.
 
badbob, your sentiments are close to mine. I, too, vote the individual. I don't see it as "throwing my vote away". the only way to throw your vote away is to NOT use it.

I've often considered putting signs for both the democratic and the republican candidate for the local house race in my front yard, just to make people go ... "wha?". If they ask me, I'll tell them ... vote democrat, vote republican, vote libertarian, vote independant, JUST VOTE!

I haven't had the best of luck in my voting history. I've voted for the guy who hasn't won more than I've voted for the one who has. In jr. high school, I was kind of an Alex Keaton, but before it was popular. In a mock election, I voted for Nixon, and still consider him to be a great president, but one who got caught, and was stupid enough to not destroy the evidence.


Since I've been able to vote in presidential elections, I"ve voted for (in order)
Gerald Ford ...................lost
John Anderson................lost
Ronald Reagan................won
George HW Bush..............won (would have voted democrat if Lloyd Bentsen was the lead on that ticket...)
George HW Bush..............lost
Bob Dole........................lost
Harry Browne..................lost
Michael Badnarik..............lost
 
I've said this before....

and I'll say it again: IF YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY VOTE THIRD PARTY!!

By that I mean don't pick because of actual parties, pick PEOPLE that actually stand FOR THE PEOPLE. Not for business or otherwise, we're going to be in quite a mess if North Korea really starts some crap. Now that's a nation I'd be more inclined to want to attack than Iraq.:barf: :barf: :barf: John Hopkin's University did a scientific search on the body count, twenty times higher than what was released by the White House, I'm not surprised the government will always try to report a low number to keep a good face with the public. This is true of both Democrats AND Republicans. This two party system has to go, and too many people are dumb enough to think "If I vote for the third guy I'm throwing my vote away" believe what you want, but I'd rather lose voting for the RIGHT candidate than win because I was forced to pick the lesser of two evils.

Here, here. Well put.
 
For now, with no viable third party in sight for the next ten years, I will have to stick to my guns(pun intended) and vote (R). The dems keep pushing gun control and all it accomplishes is pushing gunners away from them.

Bob, what gun control laws have they not repealed? The AWB has sunset, and Concealed Carry, Castle and Stand Your Ground laws are starting to be passed all over the country. The only places that gun control gets tighter is in areas where most people pull the (D) lever on election day(see California, expecialy San Francisco, Chicago, New York and New Jersey). The lesser of two evils argument is bunk. A vote for a third party at this point may as well be not voting at all. Don't get me wrong, I am disturbed by that the GOP is doing to the BoR, but not too disturbed, the DNC has been doing it for years.

Not to be cast as a single issue voter, the stands of the Republican Party are more in line with my own veiws than that of the DNC. Call me old fashioned but I am a strong beliver in family values and I know that as long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools:D .
