You forgot the option "as long as it feels good, I don't care about or understand the end results."

I really think of everyone sat down and actually researched what each party was doing there would be a lot of head-scratching and converting from one to the other. This goes both ways. But, it's just easier to mindlessly insult and parrot things heard in the media.
Yeah...Because Lord knows that YOU'RE the only informed voter in America. Everyone else is clueless.

The Democrats own you, due to your fear of the other party.

So you cheer and chant when Candidate Obama blasts Bush and then look the other way when Obama out Bushes-Bush on those issues. In the end you get Bush III, but at least he doesn't have an R after his name.

Obama knows he can lie, knows he can act like Bush, and knows he can break promises...because he doesn't have an R after his name so criticism will be negligible from his own party.

LOCKSTEP!
No one "fears" your party.

Simply put, the Republican Party sucks, and as Bobby Jindal says, continues to be the stupid party.

I don't need fear to avoid voting Republican. I only need common sense.

Now go tell a friend.

Being a Democrat means checking your brain, ethics and morals at the door while surrendering to mob mentality. It is wonderful in the Collective, all hail the Borg.

It means that you have joined, or otherwise affiliated yourself with a specific political party. As for the poll questions, one need have nothing to with The Democratic Party to support those premises.

Your post proved me right.

There is no real ideology for the most part. Hillary is a War Hawk - Democrats are fine with it. If Hillary continued Obama's Trickle Down economics that have dramatically increased income inequality - Democrats would be fine with it as they don't mind it under Obama. Democrats wouldn't offer any real resistance to Hillary expanding income inequality. Gay marriage, Hillary just last year indicated that as late as 2013 she had doubts over gay marriage...yet Democrats are fine with destroying a guy's career who privately donated $1,000 in 2006 to a traditional marriage campaign.

No real ideology. Just sheep with a cult of personality disorder.

Derp....

I responded to 3 posts where there was clear fear of how bad things would be if the GOP took control. I responded to a post that literally used the word "fear."

The Republicans aren't my party. I will vote for the best candidate.

I don't believe in being a sheep that cheers, chants and faints for Obama that correctly blasts many Bush policies and then looks the other way and makes excuses as he out-Bushes Bush.
