stuckinamoment asked:
Ok… Say you are a registered (die-hard) Republican. You go to vote in the general election. You only choose to vote for other Republicans. Is this wrong? (and vice versa for Democrats.)
I think you learn a lot about a candidate by just their political affiliation. How many voters out there actually take time to research every single candidate to make an ‘informed’ decision about them (without any bias as to which political party they belong to)? Don’t most Republicans just say “I’ll vote for the Republican” and most Democrats say “I’ll vote for the Democrat”?
You can vote for whoever you want to, but is it ‘wrong’ just to base your vote on the candidates’ political parties?

Every election there are those candidates who seem to thrive on using underhanded methods to defame the character of another candidate, just to make it appear as if they are the better pick for the people. Sometimes they say things that are the truth, while other times they do not.
A device they use are the ads we see on the tv’s, billboards or hear on the radio.
What effect, if any will these mean spirited ads affect your voting? In your opinion what will be the biggest factors surrounding your choice, lets say, for the Presidency?

chuck829 asked:
Would you be willing to support a political candidate who promised (and I use that term loosely in politics) to overhaul the current educational system for one that favored a private school voucher program, similar to that in Europe? The schools would still be highly regulated and would compete for the best teachers (meaning pay them more), but the parents would be able to choose where they sent their children. Studies have shown that a program like this has resulted in less money being spent per child, but more would be spent in the classroom (since there would be a reduction in administration expense). The teachers would get raises like most Americans, based upon their work, rather than their seniority. The best teachers would make more money while the worst would probably be out of jobs. Teachers unions have traditionally been against this type of system, and for good reason, this would effectively break the teacher’s union. Also, what is your political affiliation, if any?

Is there a website that will tell me this information. I know not all candidates have prior political experience but for those that do I would like to know how they voted on the issues in the past.

This is what they used to do in elections. This really makes sense because both candidates are close to the center of the political spectrum, I like both candidates. Many have called this economic climate the worst since the great depression, this is exactly the type of thing that has the potential to unite this country to recovery. If Obama or McCain win, wouldn’t most people vote that the other candidate would be a better VP than Biden or Palin?

The large majority of people are voting for who they believe to be the lesser of 3 evils. Wasn’t there a point in time when drug users were not the norm, infidelity meant political suicide? Why are these gross character flaws now acceptable for presidents?
I agree, the experience is there with McCain but, c’mon what does it say about his character that he divorced his wife for a younger model?

I heard from a friend that if I am registered to a particular political party and I don’t vote for that party’s candidate in the November election, my vote won’t be counted. My friend is absolutely CONVINCED that this is true, but it sounds hokey to me. Does anyone know if this is true? I live in Florida, if that makes any difference.
Haha thanks guys; I feel like a moron for believing her. It’s not like I put my name on the ballot; they have no CLUE what party I am, who I am, or who I vote for. Haha. Thanks!

Don S asked:
That is, registered Democrats will vote for Obama because Obama is a Democrat. Similarly, registered Republicans will vote for McCain because he is a Republic. Bothe candidates could’ve been certified morons and still people of their respective parties will be willing to vote for them. I’m an non-partisan myself and thus have no party affiliation. May the best man win regardless of what party he belongs.
