does anyone here vote independant?

Published Nov. 5, 2009

I only vote Independant, is there anyone else out there?  Do you realize Demos and Repubs are the same thing?  To clean up our society we need outsiders who can think outside the party system.

Do we need voters who only vote their party when they are in the voting box?

The people can turn this country around but we need new leadership, new blood, better candidates, we need you the voter to make things right.

I voted for John Anderson in 1980. Reagan took the country by storm with 489 electoral votes, carried 44 states, 50.7% of the popular vote and 43 903,230 popular votes.

Here in Lee County I believe I was one of 43 that chose to vote the Libertarian ticket that year.

"Well said. I am sick of the liberal push of their moral values with no tolerance for anyone who thinks differently."-atozca

Umm, both liberals and Conservatives do this. Not all but liberals and conservatives but some.

oops, dang, I missed that line in your post.

Hang on, I'm going to get some more coffee.

ty - And let's not forget that Obama's "science czar" has advocated forced sterilizations and (if I recall correctly) abortions.

allowing it...

They don't tell women they must get abortions./endquote

Not recently. But the heros and heroines of the early progressive movement in America ABSOLUTELY were for forced sterilization (not to put too fine a point on it) e.g. Margaret Sanger, Oliver Wendell Holmes who basically said the state had ultimate authority over your body for whatever was for the "common good". John Holdren, Obama's science Czar has advocated population control... As far as gay marriage, puhleeze.... Neither party has that one locked up.. Obama is against a gay marriage amendment...

their foreign policy scares the hell out of me/endquote

no doubt... it's just dumb...

"I wish there were more libertarian candidates to choose from."

I generally agree with libertarians on fiscal issues, disagree on some social issues (I see drug enfrocement as a national security issue since most terrorist organizations get their money from drugs) but their foreign policy scares the hell out of me.

I agree with both of you and I hate both sides of it. The republican stance seems very self-centered and selfish (IMO): “I don’t like it, so you can’t do it.” The democratic stance is very condescending. “I don’t care if you like it, it’s not good for you.” (actually republicans act that way about certain things too, like drugs).

That being said, I really don’t know any people that vote for democrats that agree with banning music, video games, or fatty foods. That seems to be more of a northern thing. Or maybe I just haven’t been around any extreme liberals lately.

I wish there were more libertarian candidates to choose from.

(Not enough coffee yet.)
