i voted mostly democratic i did vote for arnold for govenor he has shown that he can work for all the people not just follow a party line so if you have to tell rover something tell him that in order to form a more perfect union that candidates should forget the my party is better than your party system and support what is good for all americans not just the elite few and the special intrests

John Kerry statement didn't make any difference to me. \n\nMy "problem" with the Dems at this point is I don't have any idea where they stand. I hear them say they have a plans to bring the troops home, but when pressed they say 'we have to stay and finish, but bring the troops home as fast as possible.' When pressed for details I'm told 'Just elect us and see.'.\n\nI'm not voting for anyone until I know where they stand. So far all the Dems have said is vote against Bush. I don't vote against a person I vote FOR a person and right now the Dems don't have a person to vote FOR.

There is no reason to be any more concerned today than you were yesterday. The Democrats won the House. What did they really win? They won the right to make the president a lame duck. Mr. Bush can still veto any legislation they try to pass and the Democrats do not have a 2/3 Senate majority required to over ride a veto. The Democrats say they want change, so here's their chance. We will see in the coming days if Democrats really want change for all Americans and are willing to reach across the aisle, or if they just want power. Either way do not expect much to change in the next 2 years. If anything this election has almost guaranteed that nothing substantive will happen in that time.\n\nmrfoxhorn: I have to take exception with a few of your statements.\nI am middle class, I do not make 200K a year. I make more money than I did during the Clinton administration and I am paying less in taxes.\nBecause one man in the Republican party solicited a teenage boy, it does not make the entire Republican party gay. This is one the most ridiculous statements Democrats make.\nThe Republicans did not handcuff Mr. Clinton with Monica. Mr. Clinton created his own woes by lying about the affair under oath. Credibility and honesty from our leaders (all of them) may not matter to you, but it is very important to me.\nI do not blame Mr. Clinton for 9/11, I blame terrorists. What I blame Mr. Clinton for in regard to terrorism is his administrations direct efforts to hamper intelligence gathering and sharing. \nThe idea that the Democrats will build up the military stands in stark opposition to their actual record on military spending. How do you think Mr. Clinton was able to balance the budget? It wasn't by cutting social programs, but rather by dessimating the military and intelligence communities.\nDemocrats have won the midterm, you wanted change and now you have it. Pointing fingers at the other side for their failings isn't going to work anymore. Democrats now have to take responsibilty and start showing us what positive change they propose for America. I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt in this area, but I honestly believe they will fail miserably unless they change their thinking and move forward rather than looking back.

Bless you.\nAfraid that a lot of Democrat Voters have no idea what goes on in this country.  Many of them don't work and don't pay taxes.\nMany of them are doing good just to know what state they live in.

I voted for Bush.  I am disillusioned in some ways, but I don't apologize.  I think Kerry would have been worse.  I vote by issues not by party and the Democrats have to come up with someone sincere before I will vote for them.  They are too into 'slick' lately. It is hard to get a handle on where someone so slick is coming from and whether they actually have any convictions, at all.  In the last election it was very much a matter of 'the Devil you know...'\n\nI do my homework before elections, and vote my conscience.  I think the concept of 'apologizing' for one's vote if you do that is ridiculous.

I'm an Independent and I voted Democratic.  I don't feel the least bit sorry for the Republicans, they brought this mess on themselves.  We had to elect a Democratic House and Senate to stop King George from thinking he's...well, King.  I'm so relieved right now that we finally have checks and balances in place, but feel sorry for the Repubs?  Never.

You got it sister. I'm a conservative independent. I vote for who, IMO, will do the better job as a conservative, regardless what party they are affiliated with. Of course the only conservative democrats I know are here in my state like state senators and such, and i have no problem voting for them.

Good question.\nMany of the Democrats that won, ran with Republican beliefs.  They ran as Republicans.\nThey sounded like Republicans.\nWERE THEY BEING HONEST??????????\nI'll bet they were lying just to fool the people.

I am ashamed to say, I once almost voted Democratic.\n\nWhen Al Gore was running for President I remember thinking that we needed an environmental leader above all else.  While I was in the voting booth, my hand hovered around the small hole next to his name.  But I just couldn't do it.  I voted for Bush.\n\nLater I realized how ironic the outcomes are when we're so certain of our cause.  The environmentalists of the 1970s scared the public so thoroughly that no nuclear reactors have been built in the U.S. since then.  Practically no oil refineries either.\n\nAs a result, we're terribly dependent on foreign oil, and forced, at great expense and peril to keep order in the Middle East.  One of the founders of Greenpeace recently admitted how wrong he and his buddies were.  Nuclear power would really have been a safe, clean source of energy.  France doesn't have to worry about oil.  They've got lots of nuclear reactors pumping out cheap energy.\n\nThe Democratic party is like a relic from the past.  They haven't had an original, worthwhile idea since the New Deal.\n\nI have heard it said that Republicans act like every day is the 4th of July, while the Democrats act like every day is April 15th.\n\nRegarding the war on terrorism, Liberals have this crazy idea that the terrorists will learn to love us if we leave. Obviously, they don't use a calendar, because 9-11 happened BEFORE we invaded Iraq. Terrorists don't need a reason to create mayhem. They just need an excuse, and the fact that we are infidels is all the excuse they ever need.\n\nRonald Reagan once said, "they say if we'll only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he'll forget his evil ways and learn to love us." Reagan knew that the Soviet Union was like a big, hungry bear, and that by feeding it, he would only encourage the bear to get stronger and dominate the world to an even greater degree.\n\nYou can't back down from terrorists. They will not learn to love us. When Israel made huge concessions to the Palestinians, the terrorists weren't grateful. The terrorists just saw this as a sign of weakness. They said, "we're winning.... let's keep pummelling Israel and we'll get more".\n\nLiberals just don't understand. They live in a fantasy world.

Being as much of a partisan hack as someone not old enough to vote can be, I was fairly jubilant after Tuesday.\n\nThe big question, however, is obviously what the Democrats do with their hard-won victory.  I wanted to see a Democratic Congress firstly because I believe that the balance of power was being eroded by an overly-compliant Hill, and I still believe that will happen.  And if the Democrats can stay away from corruption and infighting and deliver economic help, progressive policies, and an exit plan from Iraq, I think they'll be able to hold on to their majority for a while.  The truth is that, though divided, America as a whole tends to moderate itself far more than most people suspect.

A Vote for a Democrat\nis a Vote for a Republican\nwhich is a Vote for a Democrat\nwhich is the same as a Republican\n\nThey are one and the same.\n\nThey have proven it for decades now.\n\nI voted Republican because the Democrats REFUSED to put forth a platform.\nThey were much to vague. \n\nI will not lean toward voting Republican this time\nbut there are some good republicans.\n\nThe Democrats Expect me to vote Democrat\nand have the audacity  to think I will \nvote their way simply because "we aint the other guy".\n\nI am no fool.\nThose who would vote in that manner I do not respect.\n\nA Third Party?\nThere are many. But the point is this. \nThe Libertarians Platform reads as though they are Democrats in disguise.\nRead their Webpage....See how they say "we aint the other guys".\nBut there may be some good people in the Libertarian Party.\n\nThe Constitution Party is too far Right.\nThe Parties that play to your enviromentalist side are too far Left.\nBut there may be some good people in the Constitution Party.\n\nAs for all the other fringe Parties...they play to a particular group also.\nBUT THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE.\n\nWhich brings to a point.... WHY do we even Need a Party?\nWhy can't we simply vote the candidate?\n\nBut with things in place the way they are now, \nHERE is what needs to be done:\n\nExisting restrictions that remove Voices from the Debate Stage need to be forcibly removed. Forced by the voter.\nWhat do I mean?\nThe fact that you only have 2 freaking choices and both of them are worthless bastids.\nI want Every Candidate that shows minimal support from around the country, to be in my face right up to election day.\nI won't stand much longer for being told that these two candidates (the Dem or Repub) are the best America has to offer.\n\nIn fact: Simply calling them a Third Party Candidate limits the weight you put on their stance.\n\nAlso, believing that crap our 2 parties spew, \nthat a Vote for a Third Party candidate is a vote for the other party (dem or repub) \nis a Lie.\nYOUR VOTE is not wasted.\n\nYou showing support for ANY Candidate is support for That Candidate!\n\nWe also need to get rid of this Electoral College disease.\nDo you know, that the Electoral College representative is NOT REQUIRED to vote the way the state votes?\nHe hasn't, but can change his vote to the candidate NOT supported by the majority of voters in your state.\n\nDrokk, that is crapola!\n\nThe lie that the electoral college is best for america is proven in the fact that it does not represent OneMan=OneVote.\n\nWhat it directly does, is take away the demands for a candidate/s to travel to every state.\nThey can stay in California,NY,Michigan,Ohio etcetera and go for the big electoral college states.\n\nOne man = one vote? NO, Your state has 3 electoral college votes? It is swamped and owned by NY or Another who can offer a 20+ electoral college prize.\n\nGET RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.\nOne Man, One Vote. That is what will always work. Quit believing the lies.\n\nWhat else can be done?\nVote these other parties in at the local level.\nStart there. \nGive the Law Party/Libertarian  Party/Constitution Party etcetera, \na chance to prove their mettle with decisions that Directly affect you. \nALSO by voting them in at a local level, you can keep a better eye on them \nand have more influence on the development of their national platforms.\n\nOur 2 Party System must be destroyed. \nThe stranglehold they have on your vote is bought and sold by both parties \nin the very halls of congress where laws are created.\n\nTake back America is not a waste of words.\nPatriotism starts with awareness \nand a willingness to not be bought \nwhile fighting for what is right.\n\nIf you elect someone who says "change is needed, I am for change"...WHAT CHANGE? \nand if he is bold enough to say what he wants to affect,\nHold Him to It.\n\nEnough. is Enough. I am with you Drokk.

Alright Brendan, here's what you wanted to hear and the best answer.  I voted for Bush the first time.  I voted for him again in 2004.  I feel more duped than embarassed but they are both in my feelings and I don't like it at all.  I was lied to about WMD and I bought it.  It wasn't a mistake, it wasn't for the good of the country, it was a freaking LIE.  I have no idea how many other lies I have bought into from this administration but I do know that I will not be fooled by them again.  Now I automatically attach the BIG FAT LIE sticker to EVERYTHING that comes out of the White House.  I will not be voting for ANY Repubs this year, so they can thank W for the loss of my vote.

I will be voteing democrat,since I have lived on both sides,having it all to having almost nothing I have a good view of what effects our decision makers have on Americans,starting down here.\nI will vote this way because i care for all Americans,nearly 300,000.000,another 43,000,000 on s/s or disability and another 43,000,000 without any insurance at all many of them children.\nI don't like it when I hear George w Bush talk to an elderly group before his last election trying to get votes and then turn around after elected and cut the houseing budget for elderly and disabled people in half when around here there is already a waiting list of two or three years to get affordable housing,thats why i'll vote democratic,can't hurt.
