Liberalism doesnt work and I am finally smart enough to see what it has done to our country. Its destroying it from the bottom up. Ex: Liberal judges overturning the peoples vote in Calf.

Do not like McCain but will do anything I can to keep the racist, socalist freak, liar, commi loving Obama out of my WH.

Impeach Pelosi and Reid before they ruin us even more.
Hmmm, you don't sound like much of a Democrat, you might want to switch parties.

I am a true Independent who has probably voted Dem as many times over my life as Rep. I cannot remember EVER having voted for a straight Dem or Rep ticket. This time around I will most likely be voting Republican. I just can't understand anyone who says that they always vote for one party or the other. Don't you want to evaluate the individual candidate or are you just satisfied with whoever "YOUR PARTY" puts up. Sounds sort of like automotons to me. I guess if I were philosophically hard right or hard left I would be more inclined but since I am a moderate in almost everything I'm unable to fathom it.

I would say at the top of the ticket, you would know a candidates political ideology and where they stand on the issues.

That would also apply to House and Senate seats. If a candidate is running as a conservative or republican I would expect that person to adhere MOSTLY to the party platform.

Local elections are more difficult for me personally. Judges, aldermen, councilmen, clerk, etc. I will confess to occasionally pulling a straight "red" ballot.

I already what's in store with a dem/lib. I don't need to hear them waffle and wiggle and try to hide what their true intentions are. To raise my taxes and take more of my money.

Republican, voted for GB senior, turned Democrat after the Clinton years because of the military policies of Dick Cheney (BRAC, drawdown, more with less) that were continued in the Clinton years, Voted for Nader to vote, but could not really support Gore and never ever would have voted for Bush. Voted for Kerry, and will vote for any Democrat nominee to keep John McCain out of office.

The one thing I know for sure about the November races is that I will vote for a Republican in any Congressional races that I can. I think that the present congress is even worse than Bush, particularly Reid and Pelosi. Unfortunately I don't get to vote on them. I do like both of my Senators who happen to be Rep and think they should stay.

Your right, democrats want to steal from others, break the laws and give away food, healthcare and housing so your right I am no longer a democrat.

I am a new member of the republican party, if your read my entire post you would have saw that.

I dont want to be a democrat. The party is a disaster and stands for everything that is wrong in this country.

Democrat voting Democrat. We cannot afford 4 more years of Bush policies, he has ruined the economy, taken us into a needless war; made us more vulnerable and assaulted the Constitution that he swore to defend. Time for Change! Obama will restore American values and renew the American Dream.

She he has, but why vote for Obama who is almost the exact copy of Jimmy Carter with his thoughts.

How can any democrat go after Bush on the constitution? Liberal judges are making laws from the bench and tossing our constitution aside. Liberals want to give criminal terrorist in Git Mo the dame rights as US citizens.

Bush is terrible, we all know that, but Bush will be gone.

Also, the economy was just fine until the democrats took control in late 06.

Change sometimes can be an even worse mistake.
