Personally for me, I'm an independent. I like it that way, I have a mind of my own and I like to use it as I see fit. I don't pick one side over the other, I never will. I look at the issues at hand, check to see who I think will do the best job based on their opinions, and previous record. Sometimes I'm on the red side, and sometimes I'm on the blue side, and some I vote for the independent. I think we all should vote that way, but it's just my opinion and I'm not trying to change the way anyone thinks. To each his own, to each his own that is what I belive, and I will stay that way. Be true to who you are, and that is all you can do. Bluecat, I support you b/c you feel strongly about your party. Awesome, you found something you believe in and you stick with you. Your being true to yourself, and that is all you can do. That is what I do too.
