Just curious as to whether you jog up your vote between parties or go for a straight ticket.

Some think that jogging the vote between parties creates balance while others contend that it creates gridlock in government. We'll see what popular opinion in here is.........

Have a good one!:s4:

I want to make a bumper sticker that says "Vote High" :jointsmile:

In Canada our voting is different we usually vote for 1 representative at a time, but if I were an american I would vote for the best person for each position, regardless of party.

I normally vote Democrat. However, I consider myself a fiscally moderate, civil libertarian. Most democrat's fiscal policies are too liberal for me, and most republican's fiscal policies are a bit too conervative. So I normally vote based on social issues.

I don't care what party they are in...I vote for the individual. :)

I vote for the individual but usually don't vote for anyone who strays to far from the center line, either to the right or the left. If I don't like either I won't vote as I refuse to play the "lesser of two evils" game. The one exception was the last presidential election, in which case I probably would have voted for Satan himself had he been running against Bush.

I go with the straight party ticket no matter the party I vote for. (I did vote for Clinton once so.....) If you really believe that the man you put in the Prez seat holds true to your beliefs why create gridlock?

Have a good one!:s4:

Straight ticket democrat, especially local elections. I'm trapped in the bible belt, meaning the VAST majority of repub candadates pander to the lunatic fringe of the Baptist Church. *shudder*

Why create gridlock? Why not? Let them work for there ideas and not center themselves around nothing but "yes" people. Go read "Where have all the leaders gone?" By Lee Iacocca. I just read it from front to back in 2 days and I recommend it to anyone.

I'm sorry to hear that. I was in the bible belt once. I locked myself in the hotel room for a week. I don't know how you do it, man. I'm sure mullet counting contests get old after a while.

damnit, i put independent, but i mainly vote for the individual. i'm looking at the presidental candidates already. Gravel is my top pick, but it isn't that well known, i might go republican, definatly McCain, everyone else is a "Politician" and i've had enough of them in office.

i vote based on who's more likely to win, and their individual beliefs.
