And don't think for yourself. I'm right, everyone else is wrong.

Well, I don't know about others, but, I find that way of talk/thinking to be insulting. We are supposed to be free thinking individuals here, yet, we have some who deem it their "duty" to tell us, not inform us, on who/how to vote. No. That is not how a democracy is supposed to work.

I understand and I get it that there are those who firmly support their party of choice. Regardless of what trash heap gets up there in the general election to vote on. I understand that there are policies some will support, while others will scream about being "unAmerican". Discussion is good. Gets information out there to peak curiosity and thus (hopefully) encourage others to Google (or bing or Yahoo or Alta Vista..etc...you get the idea. ) the information to see just where a candidate stands on an issue that person may find important.

Back in 2000, I totally walked away from the idea of straight party voting. That in of itself can be dangerous because then a voter just puts their mark on whichever party regardless of the fact that there is a bad candidate in there that shouldn't get a vote. I guess I would be called "Independent" as I'll look at what a candidate is talking about, what and how they vote on issues I find important. And here is a shocker....I could care less what their religion is. Why? Separation of Church and State. It comes up every election, and there is always the chicken little out there saying the sky is falling if this candidate gets elected. Hasn't happened. Stop and be real in the thinking. If a candidate who gets elected as President decided to "force" his/her religion on this country as a whole......just how fast do you all think citizens would fight back? We love our freedoms here, and those candidates have a good idea of just how far they can go before citizens get ugly in this country. They're not totally stupid.

Anyway, when if comes to voting....I'm looking at issues, voting records, etc. I don't give a care who FOX, CNN, or MSNBC are cheerleading for. I'm done with blind party voting. Have been for a while now. And I'll not sit here and tell others how to vote. Cause after all, it's our choice on how and who we vote for. And I'll make that decision on my own.
