Should I vote for ONE Republican today?

There are two important factors to weight against each other here, and whichever one holds more clout to you this election is the one you go with:

1). When you vote a straight party ticket, the other party sees that it's a waste of time to advertise in an area, they don't next time. It also creates ideological boundaries that they know to follow next time.

2). You're voting local to help your locale, and if you vote against the changes you want, you're not using your vote very effectively to that end.

I usually vote one party anyway, but in any circumstance other than this one, I would know I could be flexible if I strongly wanted to. I voted a straight party ticket.

If the guy identifies himself as a republican, the majority of the time, he is going to vote with his party no matter what he says. In order to keep the support of the party, he has to. So no, don't vote for him.

Don't vote for a label.

Mix up your vote if it represents you.

Straight-line voting is low-brow.

There, I went ahead and said it.

You are voting for representatives. Pick the persons that represent you, not the party line.

It takes a little more time at the polls to mark your choices when you don't go straight ticket, but that time is worth it.

In the end, you'll feel better about yourself. You voted with intelliegence, not fear!

No, don't even vote for one. Punish them all.

I thought I was an independent voter until this election. The Republicans have swung so far to the right, I've suddenly found myself center left.

I blogged about my own voting experience today at http://www.moderateliberal.com./ Stop by and vent.

I'm a hard-core liberal, and so I almost always vote Democrat. BUT you should vote for the person you think is most qualified for the job, even if that person is a Republican.

Voting Democrat "to protest horrible leadership provided by the national republican party" is akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face.

You're only violating your own beliefs and falling into the trap the scandal mongering media has set for you,

Vote for the person, NOT the party.

Find the one who best represents you...that person will no doubt support some issues that you don't like, but it boils down to finding the person most tolerable to your viewpoint.

You should always vote your conscience. IF this person is the person who will represent you the best, to not vote for them is foolish. Always vote for the person, not the party.

vote 4 what u feel is best 4 u. but im only voting dem.

As an objective opinion on this All intelligent Americans should vote democrat.
