Hmmm... considering my conservative authoritarian views I'm going to have to go Republican.
A funny, but sadly true example of American economics |

My $.08
hmm, this is amusing, thinking about this with my Intro to US Gov and Politics class....
First off, I would like to point out that our party system isn't one that should even be considered valid for the fact that it hasn't had a major realignment in over 60 years and haven't really changed to answer any new issues. Our system needs a major realignment...most voters have a split ticket vote. How many people actually agree with everything a party believes in, almost no one. Doesn't that just seem fishy? Saying all of that, I must say that you all should take a look at how you are deciding who you vote for before you say what party you identify yourself with...do you listen to the promises made? do you look at what good/bad the candidate has already done? etc... I urge every registered voter to go out and research the candinates view points and the issues being voted on. Our government can be much more responsive if we all vote on what we belive in then it can be if we just vote on a party. Another thing is not to forget the "small" guys. Find out about local elections, the truth is that they will have more of an impact on your lives then anyone headed for washington. Also, don't just research the candinates, research and bills, acts, or other things looking to be passed. It really is the little things that count. And about this whole "good guy", "bad guy" thing. What this country lacks is empathy. Barely 35% of the eligable voters even come to midterm elections and barely 50% come to presidential...Sad statistics...And because of wonderful things like "the media" most people have a horibble view of politicians...What people don't seem to understand is that most politicians don't have alternative motives and most politicians are loosing money by taking an office. And most politicians don't even recieve very many perks. I suggest everyone take a class about political science and really think about issues, not parties. A great book to read if you can find it is Politics in the Trenches by Thomas Volgy. It is the story of a local politician and his experiences in being the mayor of Tuscon, Arizona. It really is a good book. |

The following is sorta stream of conciousness...
I've got no respect for people who vote for a candidate solely because they're a member of their own political party. Saying things like "DEM's ALL THE WAY!" or "Any decent person with their mind in the right place would choose the republican standpoint." even in fun just perpetuates this stupid "my political party is better than yours" attitude. When you should really be saying things like "this issues means a lot to me, and I want to find a politician who feels the same way." or "I want my congressperson to cut the b.s. party rhetoric and tell me what they actually believe in." MattK, and the rest of you people who claim to be partyline voters: Saying that one political party is better than the other is like saying Chocolate ice cream is better than Peppermint Stick. There really are no "bad guys" or "good guys." So I'll answer this question in my own little way. I'll write how my ideal candidate would vote or lean on certain issues which mean a lot to me (the ones I can think of on short notice). If you'd like to take issue with my beliefs, we can have a civil conversation about them.
