Would you vote for a candidate from the 'Pragmatist Party'?

I think it's important to have an ideology. Unless you stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

I see you adopted the maturity of others, "repug's"\nI guess the question is "do republicans follow blindly?"  I'd say no, there are issues that I disagree with republicans, gun control environmental policy, but they are coming around on the latter.  But they do represent me better than quasi-socialists, I mean liberals.  So there's my vote.\nPerhaps you can turn the question around and ask do liberals follow the platform in a dogmatic fashion?  I very rarely see a challenge from liberals on liberal position.  And some of their positions defy any reason.  There's blind faith.

I know nothing about him, so I would need to do some research on him.  His skin color is not relevant to me.  If I agreed with his views and he was qualified for the office that he might run for, I would consider voting for him.

IMHO, it is not the candidates, age, sex, status, party affiliation, religion or anything else but where they PERSONALY stand on some certain key issues that I am interested in. If they are the candidate that most closely matches my beliefs/issue, then they get my vote.

It would be nice, but no. These two parties are too powerful and have too much money for a third party to compete. They will try, as they have in the past, but they won't succeed. I don't like to believe that any vote is "wasted" but I do believe that voting for the third party just increases the chances of getting someone like Bush in office again. I find it apalling that anyone could still support this man or the Republican party after all they have done to damage our country.\n\nI have voted for a third party in the past, but as I've grown older I realize that it just did more damage than good, so I will remain a democrat. The only way I would vote for a 3rd party again would be if I saw (through the polls) that the person running clearly had a chance, and if they ran on a platform I could really support.\n\nBut don't ever not vote. Don't ever believe that your vote doesn't count. We have a responsibility to vote for the person we believe should be in office, even if you do vote for a third party candidate.

People that back "their party" no matter what or just placing their party before the country.  Sensible, intelligent voters will review the facts and candidates and support the best qualified.  Anyone able to pick up a pencil can vote 'straight ticket'.

I must agree.  A serious contender.\nI'd like to vote strictly by my conscience, and have done so in the past, and it didn't matter one bit of difference. So I'm unfortunately relegated to voting for the least offensive choice.  If the Libertarian party could get someone that would have even a slim chance of winning, then I would vote for that candidate.

Yes I do.\n\nDo you think the Democrats are going to give me someone I can vote for. I've not voted for a Republican the last two times. I've voted against the clucks the Democrats have nominated.\n\nDemocrats get back to your base. We're still out here. We didn't leave you. YOU left us. And just so you know --"I'm not a Republican" isn't a very good campaign slogan.

I agree...vote for the best person...the party is a secondary consideration.

Very clever!\n\nI'm voting for them now. Return the favour! :)\n\nBy the way, you know you can vote for yourself again, right?

Present. I believe you have just described every pragmatist ever born. they are cynical in there aapproach to solutions and yet optomistic that a solution does in fact exist to all problems. That is is just how they avoid making mistakes and increase their efficiency.

I was born with a God-given, intelligent brain.  It is not by chance that I am voting today for conservative public servants. I have studied the issues, considered those running, and have a will to choose those who will best represent my values.  Aren't we blessed!!!

It's way too early to tell who I'll vote for - I don't vote by strict party lines. I vote for who I think is the best for the job. I can't know that until I know who's in the running.

Well, I do not declare myself to be affiliated with one party or another.  I don't vote for people just because they are from a certain party.  I vote based on who I think would do the best job, and whose morals I agree with, not based on their party affiliation.  So if an Anti-Christ from ANY party were to run for President (and I knew that person was an Anti-Christ), I probably would not vote for them... unless the alternative were much worse.\n\nI'd rather vote for an honest Anti-Christ, then a dishonest person who claimed to be a Christian.  It would really depend on their morals.

Even if I agreed with the Libertarian Party's platform, I would not switch political parties.  The reason is because that in many primary elections, voters are only allowed to vote for those in their party.  I feel my vote is going to better use if I use it between a hotly contested Democratic or Republican seat than against an uncontested seat.  Also, it is relatively well-know that 3rd party candidates are rarely elected.  I would rather vote for the major party that at least has a chance of winning than a party who does not, even if I completely agree with it.

Yes, I voted all Republicans in the past and I will in the future and I will only vote Democrat if the candidate comes from the same city I reside in even if it is for the Presidency of the United States of America and even if I disagree with the Liberal Agenda, I will vote for them because we reside in the same town.
