Republican or Democrat

[Packattack94]

With local elections coming up, if you vote, which party do you vote for and why?

With local elections coming up, if you vote, which party do you vote for and why?


I vote for candidates, not parties.

Why = There are ignorant candidates for all parties. And good candidates for some. By voting for the candidates, it makes me really pay attention to all of the issues. I perfer to be an informed voter.

I always vote Texan.

[Firebird]

I always vote Texan.

Shouldn't be much of a problem, considering that we are talking about state and US congressional races....or are you talking only NATIVE Texan? Even so, most races would still be Texan V Texan.

True but maybe you say that because most of them are republicans on here since its Texas?

Anyways, if you say you are democrat... I want to ask you a question under what John Kerry says, what you support abortion? just asking... I just want to see what would democrats say about that.

[Humblefied]

Pretty excited cuz i just turned 18 and that means I get to vote...haha. Not a clue who I will vote for but I can say that most of my morals line up with Republicans so they will get some votes from me.

[lonny23]

I'll vote for a Constitutional Party candidate if they're on the ballot. If the only 2 choices are our normal choices, I'm probably going with the elephants. I vote based upon the person, but since everybody is making deals about support, I end up on the Republican side most of the time.

Same here, saw a survey from school that most teens in Texas votes for Democrats (60%) and Republicans (30%) and others would be independent or nothing. Pretty interesting...

Really? That doesnt represent the Texas cliche at all. When I go to Boston they all think Im a huge Bush supporter. Really I know Bush has made some mistakes but the last time I looked he is still our president so he deserves our respect and our support until he commits a crime and gets impeached.

Ditto. What she said.

I will admit to being, for the most part, a conservative, and a little more liberal on social issues as I get older, but don't confuse "a little bit more liberal" with being liberal, I'm not, I'm just getting a bit softer on some things as I get older.....a bit more tolerant you might say. To not learn at least a bit of tolerance is to be a hypocrite. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, so to speak. But if I think you are wrong, you will hear that I think you are.

An old joke that may explain why the Democratic party has always been served well by the youth vote:

A Democrat is a Republican who hasn't been mugged yet. :D

The last election was the first time I voted Democrat in a Presidential election. I voted for Ross Perot twice.

No I do not support nor do I accept abortion or abortion clinics.

edit: I voted for Al Gore in 2000. I forgot about that because it was an absentee ballot because I was at sea in the Navy. So twice I have voted Democrat.

Independent...have never voted a straight ticket. I've actually voted in both major parties' primaries in different years, but usually skip them.

Actually, they think this is an unjust war, but they're not anti-military or anti-war. They just think we didn't have any business going into this war.

[dragons08]

republican..i'll be able to vote next presidental election

grandpa is a huge republican, and would always tell me the jokes making fun of democrats, talk about the stupid stuff they do, etc, etc, basically republican bred through him

[PaulinPlano]

Straight ticket Republican. I don't care for socialism.

[Sacred Ground]

As I get older, I find myself going with Independents. I have finally learned that Reps. and Dems. both lie to get your vote and when you vote for them, they just want your money.

when i am able to vote in '08, from then on i'll just about always vote republican...i can't stand some the of the ethics the liberals have...

[pack0808]

I vote republican because I think there views are much more closer to mine then today's democratic party is. I just think the way far left has hijacked the democratic party. I will not go into details because I do not want to discuss politics on a sport's board. Not to mention that my boy said he was a demoncrat. :eek: ;)

I vote for who I believe is the most committed to solving our current problems without creating new ones. I vote on this principle regardless of age, gender, party, or history in government. I don't care what you've done in the past; I wanna know what you're gonna do in the future. The one exception to this is in the matter of fulfilling your promises. I will check to see if they actually did what they claimed they would do at election time.

[LUFPAN]

The only Democrat I've ever voted for was Kent Henson for Angelina County Sheriff.........all other votes have been strictly Republican.

[KT2000]

I'm with Miss Kitty and Dragonband.

I'll vote for who I think the best candidate is regardless of party. I don't tend to view things in absolutes when it comes to politics.

then you cna never vote, politics are bunch of bs, who could lie the most to get office, then do whatever the hell they want

[Packattack94]

Look at it from a politicians view: you have 1 million people who want 1 million different things. How can you do one thing for one group w/o pi$$ing the others off? You can't make everyone happy.

And we shouldnt, Though i support the republican party i dont always vote for the republican. If you vote republican straight through then your cheating yourself... If you vore Democrat straight through you cheat yourself (and most times the country)... This country has been dominated by the 2 party system, we have been trained to vote only ONE way.... and if you dont then your not loyal... But it wasnt to long ago that TEXANS voted Democrats along with the majority of the south.. Our Views didnt change the party changed to get a new segment of society...and the Republicans came in and swooped up the south.

Im in favor for a TEXAN party... Texans arent soft, they are friendly if you leave thier family, freedom, football, state, and country alone....If you mess with any of these.. Your looking at getting a kick in the mouth.... But that just may be the way i feel and the way i was raised to think...what do i really know anyway.

now that's an educated post...

I guess for me it is more important who you don't vote for...cut & run, tax raising, no plan for anything, whiners....there..I guess that covers it....:D

sounds like a echo of Bush's speach last week.

[farmerfan]

I thought he was the center for the Raiders in the '60's? Wore 00.

no no, although any football team would have loved to have his leadership. he was minister president of Prussia and the first chancellor of Germany. I could go on and on about him but will save you guys the time.

[farmerfan]

not to my knowledge, however he was very instrumental in providing the first wellfare state this world has ever known. it is sad the way men like Kieser Wilhelm and Hiterl turned Germany after what Bismarck had made it when he left office in 1890.

Yeah, its a shame how wellfare has turned into something it wasnt intended for about 120 years ago. The German wellfare state was created to better benefit the peasants who could not work outside of the fields that the Junkers owned. Once the unification process was complete Bismarck had to figure out what to do with these peasants who had been deprived their whole life. The younger ones found jobs in factories such as BASF, Siemens, Baier and other places while the older ones needed some sort of support.

You know half the crap Kinky says cant be done in 1 term... First off, i aint down with the whole gay marriage thing..and two even if i was down... hasnt it already been a closed deal, Doenst our State constituion define marriage as between a man and a women. He is saying that he isnt a politicians but a statmen... Sounds like he is trying to appeal to a certain Sector of society while trying to get the Christian voters in with prayer in schools...

He is going to make my head explode...

Some protest vote.. Since the guy prob is a Democrat, He played into the republicans hands... The third pary will always help one or the other because a lack of Money and publicity limits thier chances to almost none to win.

They are ALL the same - they all say the same thing and Perry hasn't done anything for the teachers that he said he was going to (i.e. insurance, a real pay raise, etc). Do you know that it would cost us $1000 a month to insure our family if we didn't have it through my work (which costs us $52/month and my company pays the rest of the $1200/month!) and I make more than him with his 25 years of experience and master's degree...sad. That's why I don't listen to any of them and if I vote, it's for the one with the most charisma! I, too, do not agree with gay marriage and the Texas constitution more than likely prevents that from happening so it really doesn't matter what the polititian says. Kinky is way down in the polls and Perry is going to win anyway it appears.

[mojotrain]

I would be considered to the right of the right in my political ideas. But I have no candidates. My honest feelings are both partys are and have been giving America away for a lot of years now. Giving away covers a lot of areas. The republicans are now as the Truman democrats were in the 50s. The democrats of today are on their own road we have never had a serious party in contention with the beliefs they have.

I split voting with a few Dems. in local elections but mostly to republicans. I won't say never but their are no democrats at a state or federal level that I would vote for at present.

[Drake]

I never vote for liberal Democrats because sometimes they seem so "spaced out"...

By the way, everyone has heard of Area 51 and the supposed crash of an alien craft there in July of 1947, right?

Well, I was skeptical about it until it was pointed out to me that exactly NINE MONTHS later, in March of 1948, Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.; Hillary Rodham; John F. Kerry; William Jefferson Clinton; Howard Dean; Nancy Pelosi; Dianne Feinstein; Charles E. Schumer; and Barbara Boxer were all born. NINE MONTHS LATER!

Now it's all making more sense and I find it easier to understand why some liberals often seem like they're from another planet... :D
