No way!  I will probably NEVER vote a straight party ticket. You should evaluate each individual on their own merit before voting for them.

Look at both sides of each party, identify with which sides holds your beliefs and there you go. You can also be an independant which means you do not subscribe to a particular political party and just vote for whoever you identify yourself with more at the time of election.

political party allegiance is slowly taking precedence over the issues. i believe they shovel whatever they can out in order to keep their job, thats what it essentially is, they are competing with one another for their jobs. some still have real convictions, but after the past election, having to deal with the crap the republicans pulled, i feel they have generally committed themselves to each other rather than the cause, so i declare myself an independent now, because my convictions are more important than my party allegiance. \n\nso, more yes than no, but im not going to agree with certainty either way.\n\n"you can fool all of the people some of the time; and you can fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."\n-abraham lincoln

You can scatter your votes, I usually do.  I vote by issue, being middle class, and not a globalist.  We don't have a party of our own.   \n\nYet.

1. I'm independent so I did not vote in the primary and my state (Texas) does not allow mix voting in primaries. If it did I would vote mix in primaries.\n\n2. I grew up middle class and will always consider myself middle class.  With that said my spouse and I make over $100,000 per year and I'm not sure where we would fall in the scale.\n\n3. Health-care Administration\n\n4. I going to say no.  However if a candidate is being too religious, that to me a reason not to vote for them.\n\n5. Sending a message to Washington and Austin that one party should not be in charge of all branches of government.\n\n6. Yes I did vote.

I completely relate.  I'm a Republican because the Republican party WAS the party of small government.  We now have two parties that are both for big government and third parties have almost no chance of winning.  I think there are many Americans who feel as we do, and I hope that our voices will be heard.  We have the power to vote them out, and I hope we exercise that power.

I do not vote for anyone that is overly religious because I think their beliefs would out rule what is best for the citizens This Country is based on seperation of Church and State.. I vote for people that I feel are truthful and want to do what is best for our Country- I don't vote Party because I don't necessarily agree with someone just because they are a Democrat or Republican... I listen to both sides and decide who I think has the best ideas and who I think has the same beliefs as me as to what would help our Country run the way it should

There are always going to be people who vote, if only for themselves. It'd be funny to see a 1 to 1 tie, though.

I voted mostly independent because I am surrounded by Democrats and therefore knew my vote wouldn't make a real difference anyway. So I'd rather boost the numbers for somebody I REALLY believed in, rather than the lesser of two evils.

No\nThere currently aren't any.\nhttp://clerk.house.gov/members/congProfile.html\n\nThis is a weird paradox because there are two independents... (Maybe 3 now, props to Lieberman) and the Libertarian party is larger than the Independent as far as votes cast overall.  \n\nLibertarians have political ideals that can not be compared with any single party.  Libertarians are economically conservative and socially liberal.  They are not "like" other parties in more ways than they agree on certain issues. \n\nIndependents theoretically do not have a defined platform.  The ideals of the independents are defined by the majority vote(s) of the people in that area.\n\nI think it will be difficult for any of the smaller ideas until people get the idea of "wasting your vote" idea.\n\nIf you vote for someone you didn't want over someone you did... then you are wasting your vote.  Not the other way around.

I like Warner. I also like Evan Bayh. Recent polls put the 2 of them at the bottom of the pack as likely candidates, though, far behind Hillary, John Edwards, and John Kerry. None of the top 3 would bring in enough "swing voters" to win. Warner and Bayh are moderate enough to do it, though. Another possible, who few people mention, is Wesley Clark, who I like a lot, too (enough to write in his name on my 2004 ballot). I have yet to hear Mike Gravel's name mentioned, either, even though he is one of the few who have actually announced their candidacy. I like his stance on direct democracy and the FairTax plan.\nThe full list is:\nAnnounced candidates for the Democratic Party:\n\nSenator Joe Biden of Delaware \nSenator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut \nFormer Senator Mike Gravel of Alaska \n\nLikely candidates\n\nSenator Evan Bayh of Indiana \nRetired General Wesley Clark of Arkansas \nSenator Hillary Clinton of New York \nFormer Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota \nFormer Senator John Edwards of North Carolina \nSenator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin \nSenator John Kerry of Massachusetts \nGovernor Bill Richardson of New Mexico \nGovernor Tom Vilsack of Iowa \nFormer Governor Mark Warner of Virginia\n \nOther potential candidates\n\nSenator Barbara Boxer of California \nGovernor Phil Bredesen of Tennessee \nGovernor Mike Easley of North Carolina \nFormer Vice President Al Gore of Tennessee \nRepresentative Dennis Kucinich of Ohio \nGovernor Joe Manchin of West Virginia \nSenator Barack Obama of Illinois \nGovernor Brian Schweitzer of Montana \nReverend Al Sharpton of New York\n\nedit:\nI would definately vote for Warner, Bayh, or Wesley Clark. I like John Edwards as a person, but he'd be a horrible president. I like Gravel a lot, too, but don't think he could get the moderate support my "big 3" could get. I think that there is too much distrust and/or hatred toward everyone in the "Washington crowd" for a Senator or Representative to take the White House. \n\nIf I had to pick one, it'd be Clark, simply because I know more about him than the others, having supported him in '04. But, once I read more into the candidates, my pick may change.
