I am really infuriated with the number of people that think this. Haven't we heard of a balanced ticket? A lot of people I know (usually enemies) pick on, tease, and scold me if I say anything about democrats. I don't let that get to me. Those liberal weaklings cannot, will not, and do not control me. If you think about it further, this nation should be more conservative when it comes to decorum in public places and in the education circuit. I cannot describe my anger that is worsened throughout the last four years. All because of a democratic majority in Washington that must whine, cry, and complain at every little thing.
Guess what, both parties have their share of good and bad. My point is just that. Balance your ticket. Evaluate the candidates first, then vote for them. It's that simple. From the last election I voted in, the democrats ruled. I had a feeling this would happen after eight years of Bush. I don't like Bush either but all this bashing and name calling is going to stop. Another point I would like to make, when evaluating candidates for voting, you should notice that straight democrat is not correct. Neither is straight republican. Give it up you evil, wicked democrats.

What on earth does public decorum have to do with politics? And, why is it that Republicans seem to assume that the only way Democratic candidates get elected is because Democratic voters don't evaluate our candidates?

What you need to come to grips with is that we don't like Republican politicians, their policies or their ideas. PERIOD. That is why we vote for Democrats.

I don't see the difference between either party nowadays; none do what's best for the american people, but what's best for their cronies and bankers. That's why I subscribe to the quote from the movie the shooter: "There are no republicans or democrats. There is only the have and the have nots."

Public decorum (codes of decency, conduct, dress, etc.) are influenced by the laws passed and standards set. For whatever reason, places that have traditionally republican (except the good old south) are becoming more democrat. I do not like it. And I do not like how the democrats must believe in rights and freedoms for everyone.

Okay, I get your point though about why you don't like Republicans. But we have to be more balanced in our voting habits. We should be getting along like civilized people, NOT like bullies and victims. It's that simple. It's always the simple things that people blow. I'm sick and tired of it.

No self-control. The GOP shot themselves in the head.

Given that you apparently feel that you are better than Democrats...I can't say I blame them for treating you as such.

I have a friend that thinks exactly opposite of me in regards to politics. I love bantering ideas about with her, listening to her views and she mine. It's all very civilized and educational.
When it comes to voting, we simply cancel each other out.
