I reside in Pennsylvania. I'm not registered to vote, but plan to register with no party affiliation, aka independent, as I'm not a fan of either major party (one are religious war mongers, the others are all talk no action). However, Pennsylvania has closed primaries. The only way I could vote for Ron Paul is to be a Republican (I think). I'm at the PA website now, filling out the voter registration application.
How easy can I change to independent after voting? Is it a common practice? Is it legal, or is it prohibited under some attempt to stop %26quot;raiding%26quot;? Will Ron Paul run 3rd party despite him saying he won't?I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?Just register as a republican so you can vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. After that you can switch your party affiliation. That's what I'm doing. Go Ron Paul!!!
ronpaul2008.comI want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?Very simply vote for whoever you want and after you vote you sign a form that disaffiliates you from the party of the person you voted for.I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?You can change as many times as you want. Look at Lieberman! Some states allow voters of either to vote for primary candidates of either party, but not Penn. What this country needs is a viable third party. ( Actually, a viable first or second party wouldn't be bad, either)
Register as a Rep until after the primary.I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?Who, on Earth, is Ron Paul?I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?You dont have to be a republican to vote for him! who say's you have to???? i mean you dont just vote because of the party they're in. you vote for whom u agree with, and its ok to switch from one party to another, if your talking on where your opinions stand.I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?Just vote for who you want,it does'nt matter.I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?If your going to vote for Ron Paul,
then just don't worry about your party affiliation
because any votes given to him...is just a wasted
vote...he's NOT going to have any chance of even
being in the primaries!
Oh Dubya moans CondiI want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?It's simple.. and yes it is a common practice.. I am registering in the primaries as a republican as well just to vote for himI want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?There must be a concerted anti-Ron Paul organization that pays people to post negative comments about Ron Paul. (I can say that if the anti-Paul people say his supporters are being paid. With what, I don't know; his campaign fund has barely spent any money yet)
Ron has said he won't run as a third party candidate, and if he says he won't do something, I doubt he will flip-flop and then do it.
So his opponents will breath easier if he doesn't get the nomination, knowing that one candidate who supports individual liberty won't be able to challenge their socialist/fascist policies.I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?If you really want to vote for him, register Republican. It's as simple as that. I don't like the Republican Party that much either, but I like to be able to vote in viable primaries, and have no interest in pro-abortion socialists.I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?Why would you vote for Ron Paul?????????????I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?If you want to register as a Republican to vote for Ron Paul, why you would want to is beyond me, anyway, you can change your voter registration to independant between the Pennsylvania primary and the general election. Personally I would just register as an independant to begin with as Ron Paul has the chance of an ice cube in the Sahara of even getting nominated by the Republican Party let alone getting elected. He might get nominated as a Libertarian but he would lose again there too.I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?I believe you can change your voter registration info at anytime. Good luck.I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?Ron Paul is a god that has been sent down from heaven to enlighten the masses with his prophetic words. May all that hear his words fall down in obedience to his righteous ways. Once the United States in under his holy leadership we will experience one hundred years of unprecedented prosperity and peace until the rapture and the second coming of Christ.I want to vote for Ron Paul in in the primary, but I'm not a Republican?Ron Who is not as well so no problem a non voter Voting for a non candidate.

How do we end or at least diminish partisanship?
I think that partisanship is one of America's biggest threats. A divided house cannot stand. I know I personally have been guilty of taking the wrong course of action in improving this situation. I'd like to improve my own actions and I believe others do too.
I'm really interested in a solution that can smash harmful negative labeling and intellectual diminishment in discussion of important issues. I'd love to see the bar of civility being raised, not dropped.
Here's my ideas:
1. You can't always control the actions of others, but you can always control yourself. Change your mindset. Try to eliminate labels from your brain. Forget party affiliation and just look at raw ideas.
2. Look at the intent. Most people are just doing what they believe is right. When we cast negative labels on a group, we tend to forget that.
3. End ad hominem and unproductive generalisations. They accomplish nothing. Discourage them gently in others.
Thoughts? Answers? Ideas?How do we end or at least diminish partisanship?Well put music man. I think we have a long way to go seeing as the second response was the exact sort of unproductive generalization you are talking about getting rid of.
I'd like to see a centrist party formed that excludes to far left and right ideologies. These groups poison the republican and democratic party and turn rational people against each other over insignificant issues. Instead of dividing the country into red and blue states, we form a party of reasonable, thoughtful voters who may disagree with each other on small issues, but come together to look out for the good of the people and the country. We could then let the smaller fringe groups who promote hatred and division fight it out amongst themselves.
Just a crazy dream I have.How do we end or at least diminish partisanship?respectHow do we end or at least diminish partisanship?Liberals are the biggest threat and mostly Democraps. I'd abolish the two party system and disallow Liberals from holding office.How do we end or at least diminish partisanship?The train has left the station so long ago on this issue. It will not be backed up, because human behaviour tends toward the ease of taking the low road. Good luck in stuffing the toothpaste back into the tube.
The way I see it is that civility in actions and discourse will happen ONLY when our nation as a whole once more faces some tragedy that will unite us. To prove my point, one merely needs to review 9/11 and the aftermath. That improvement in civility lasted for about a year or so before it began to come untied. Then the finger-pointing started with the Executive bracnch of our government having to stop the buck...to the extreme degree of delusional hatred by some.How do we end or at least diminish partisanship?Well we elected Bush TWICE based on his being %26quot;conservative%26quot; well when he got into office he and many other conservatives decided to cave in to the media pressure instead of doing what we elected them to do. So in essence he changed his spots after he won the election. IF a demon crat wants to be successful as a president he or she will have to do the same thing. Run and win as a commie lib and then when they get into office become a conservative. Clinton did this after the 94 election somewhat, but he just didn't go far enough. The media would NEVER flame a Lib for becoming a conservative after being elected as bad as they do a Conservative for becoming a lib. So for a demoncrat it would be ok.
When you have conservatives praising the policies of a commie lib, you WILL be able to compromise. Tip O'Niell had to bend a lot for Reagan, and it worked out well. However the demon crats are a new breed today. Bush gave them everything when he didn't have to and they didn't appreciate it, they just flamed him even more..show's how much you can trust them.
Bush should have SHUT down the borders in Sept 12 2001 and NO ONE would have argued, but he didn't and now we have the mess of Mexicans and Canadians dragging our country down. The demon crats don't really care as long as every smidgen of bad news can be blamed on Bush. Just look at the ridiculous accusations libs get away with. They say Bush is an idiot and yet he got them to vote to go to war in Iraq. They call him stupid, yet they say he causes hurricanes to attack blacks in New Orleans. Any weather person knows someone who can control weather CAN'T be an idiot, but facts never got in the way of a good lib lie.
You want bi-partisanship? Go to Cuba..they all love Castro as much as the hollywood movie stars..personally I like the divide between commie libs and the rest of the USAHow do we end or at least diminish partisanship?i couldnt agree with you more. i'm sick of partisanship crap. i've always said you should just do and say what you believe is right and everything will work itself out. don't agree with something based on your so-called political affiliation. don't agree with something based on what CNN says. don't agree with something until you have done your OWN research. and it's ok to disagree. not everyone is going to have the same thoughts. that's what makes this country great. but, i think there is alot of disagreeing that could be rectified very easily if people would just do what's right. not let outside forces control your thoughts. not let lobbyists, political correctness, money/power, and party lines affect your judgement.. i feel we are more divided than ever, this has got to stop.How do we end or at least diminish partisanship?I agree with you wholly. Sadly, some people are stuck in the same old mindset and refuse to see things in any light other than the status quo. I listen to a lot of conservative talk radio (not because I am a conservative-but to keep up with what is being said), and the rhetoric I hear daily speaks of absolute hatred toward the left. There is no room for compromise according to these fanatics. It is very sad and may just lead to the downfall of our country. Most people were moved by 9/11, but it was soon back to business as usual. I'm afraid it will take something far worse to bring the people together.How do we end or at least diminish partisanship?I see noting wrong with partisanship, per se. To me the problem is what the democratic party stands for. Socialism is a lethal disease for America and it has found a new home in the modern democratic party. Before this happened, America was headed in the right direction and the debate between the two parties was about how best to get there. Not anymore. The left now wants to take us in the exact wrong direction. And they will destroy anyone who opposes them.
For you young people out there, it wasn't always like this. It began with my generation, the baby-boomers. We arrived on the scene in one massive wave. Many of us were self centered and believed ourselves to be smarter then everyone else. There were so many of us that we soon found that we could impose our will. Unlike our parents who were raised in the depression and WWII we were spoiled and wanted everything now. Our lack of strong basic morals made us sitting ducks for the lies of socialists. Look back at rallies and events that occurred back then. See how many Che, and Mao tee shirts we were wearing. You will even see people waiving the comunist flag of North Vietnam. America is still reeling from the damage we caused.
Now many of those people are your college professors, lawyers and democratic politicians. They still long for the old days. They have embraced socialism to one degree or another. They are dangerous no matter what party they are in but they are predominately democrats. Here is a good way to identify them. When they get into a debate they will make their point then talk over everyone else and keep repeating the same thing over and over. Then they will start calling everyone who disagrees with them some combination of: racist, sexists or homophobic. They will site phony statistics that no one will bother to check. When they want a number to seem large they will quote the number itself out of context. If they want to make it appear lower they won't use the number but rather the percentage.
Example:
3000 soldiers died! (1% of 300,000)
Only 1% of the soldiers died. Sounds like a lot less doesn't it?
Anyway, if the democratic party was like it was before the baby-boomers took it over, partisanship would only lead to progress.How do we end or at least diminish partisanship?Do you think that the people who used this question as a platform for divisive, ad hominem, name calling, and partisan attacks really want to see a truly United States? Look at some of these answers and you'll see what's really wrong with this country. People who didn't respect the previously elected president, the current elected Congress, and a vast number of patriotic American citizens expect respect for an appointed President who has lied us into a destructive war. Ignorant names like democraps, dummycrats, and lieberals and the moronic overuse and misuse of labels like Socialists will keep us divided.How do we end or at least diminish partisanship?America was united and had common values until groups like the ACLU decided to try to divide the people. In the 40's and 50's the democrats were concerned about National Security and upheld moral values, not so anymore. JFK was the last Democrat President who believed in national defense.

Is Sarah Palin positioning her self to run as a 3rd party candidate in 2012? ?
Check out this article in the Miami Herald where Palin blames the bush administration for the republican defeat.
When asked why she though the republican ticket lost, Palin replied:
%26quot;I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a 10 trillion dollar debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration? If we're talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented and that is to a great degree what the Republican Party at the time had been representing. So people desiring change I think went as far from the administration that is presently seated as they could. It's amazing that we did as well as we did.%26quot;
Palin also said she loved her time in the national spotlight and won't rule out a run for president or vice president in 2012.
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics
This may seem like a stretch, but a third party candidate hasn't been elected since 1850 (Depending on how you classify Whigs- some would argue that We've never had a 3rd party candidate). If palin jumps on the %26quot;change%26quot; bandwagon, she presents the opportunity not only to elect the first woman president, but the first 3rd party candidate in over 150 years She could make the argument that she is the new change agent in washington, both in appearance and in affiliation.
Usually 3rd party candidates lose because it's enormously difficult to get their names on the ballot and they cannot produce the funding that a major political affiliation provides. But Palin is a media obsession, and following the Obama method would giver her access to millions of donors- both independents who are hungry for a new party and republicans from the current cycle who were smitten with her.
What do you think? Is it too much of a stretch, or does it fall into her character? Is Sarah Palin positioning her self to run as a 3rd party candidate in 2012? ?Teddy Roosevelt won on the Bull Moose ticket in 1904 after losing the Republican nomination to Taft. But I think Palin is moving to the center of the party believing that that is where the future is. Except for her religious views she is more of a progressive anyway.If she is intelligent enough to get herself educated in the things she does not know and not the old party line she might be a leader in the party. I doubt it will be by 2012.Is Sarah Palin positioning her self to run as a 3rd party candidate in 2012? ?She seriously needs to sit down and stop worrying about 2012....

I am a democrat and I%26#039;ve heard all the negative comments about Barack and liberal democrats from Republicans. So, i%26#039;d like to know what information you can give me about McCain and what he plans to do that would make me change my vote before Nov. 4.
I am honestly thinking of becoming an independent but want to consider republican party. I am a person who has some liberal beliefs and some conservative beliefs.
Since you all are always saying liberals are blinded by Barack - I want to know why I should even consider changing my vote or my party affiliation. How will McCain help me as a middle-class american and change this country for the better.
Negative rants or comments about Barack will not sway my vote in anyway. Why should I vote for McCain?I am amazed at how ugly people get when discussing the opposing candidate. Those who have said do your homework are right, this is what you need. I support McCain but I%26#039;m not going to bash Obama. Unfortunately all politicians say one thing for a vote and do what they want when they get into office. Although I%26#039;m registered Republican, I%26#039;m more independent. I have voted Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. My main thing is what they stand for.
Now, for why I%26#039;ll vote for McCain: I don%26#039;t like big government. McCain%26#039;s plan is to cut taxes and cut government spending. I agree with this. Although Obama also plans to %26quot;cut%26quot; taxes, it includes giving money to those who pay no taxes already. I think this unfair. I also know that %26quot;typically%26quot; Republicans are pro-military. And I know all the hard feelings on Iraq (my husband has been there), but I also know that we haven%26#039;t had an attack on our soil since 2001. As far as this economic mess is concerned, it started under Clinton%26#039;s watch. McCain tried to regulate (unlike what another answer said about the deregulation lie) Freddie Mac, and Fannie May a couple of years ago. I am dissappointed in him though that he didn%26#039;t have the leadership to get the bill passed. He is not another Bush although he is linked with him so often. Although I don%26#039;t agree with everything he stands for, I agree with him more than Obama. I would be proud to stand with an American who has survived torture to stand up for us, has a fair economic plan, wants to make America energy independent, and has sponsored legislation (some proven leadership). I don%26#039;t believe this can be said of Obama.
So do your homework. Go to independent websites, go to cspan, go to both of the parties websites and see what you agree with most. Good luck!Why should I vote for McCain?There is absolutely no reason you should vote for McCain. Vote for Obama.Why should I vote for McCain?I can%26#039;t think of a single reason to vote for McCainWhy should I vote for McCain?first off you shouldnt vote for mccain. there is a lot of neg. stuff about obama but i can bet you anything if he was white none of this would be said. you have to stand up for your party and research your own answer. mccain is running out of TIME and THINGS TO SAY so he bashes obama and last night at the debate...obama just brushed it off and made mccain look more like an old bas. that he is. research and make your own choice....thats the good thing about america!! :)Why should I vote for McCain?Obama wants to start all these new programs. Where is that money going to come from? Taxes, plain and simple. The people that are going to benefit from his tax plan are the ones who do not pay taxes already. Obama is going to socialize Health care and tell us who we can see. Fine us for not having insurance. He voted for the botched abortion and that it was Okay to kill the baby if born alive. That is why you should not vote for him. That is why you should vote for McCainWhy should I vote for McCain?you shouldnt
all he does is disrespect obama
and talk talk talk
Obama/Biden 08Why should I vote for McCain?Obama is the one who could handle to fix the our future economy to solve, end the war which it%26#039;s pointless and we spend billions billions dolars, it%26#039;s such waste a time for America%26#039;s economy.
and we invaded in Iraq because of Oil from Bush%26#039;s personal and Lie.
US Soldiers, and many innocent died from Bush%26#039;s lie, was it fair for them? NO
Does they knew Bush lied them to go a war with Iraq?
they doesn%26#039;t know, and we already knew that
We must to support for them, and healthcare for all , and has a plan to offers for students as an affordable college.
Obama won%26#039;t go a war with Iran, Russia and others cause he will go a diplomacy with them into peace.
Obama will kill Bin Laden and crush all Al Qaeda, There is a huge victory for the world.
There is only one way as a step to go on, then united states will embrace a huge peace for the whole world from Obama.
and McCain could die anytime and Palin would be president but it will huge catastrophy and terrible economy which Palin has no intellectual on foreign policy, world leaders and economy.
So how can Sarah can handle herself for this America while she has no intellectual on economy, and more as foreign policy?
it will go huge terrible for America%26#039;s future if she were elected with McCain.Why should I vote for McCain?Because you maybe a sperm cell that has yet to hit the egg and you are in the Belly of a Brainwashed follower., be born into knowing a old man calling himself a Maverick has messed up your yet to be social security..Why should I vote for McCain?You should vote for McCain because you want four more years of the same policies as President Bush.
Republicans stand for deregulation, and deregulation seems to be at the heart of the financial crisis. If you don%26#039;t want the government to interfere in the Financial Sector, vote McCain
Republicans stand for less taxes, but how are we supposed to pay for our debt if we do not raise at least some taxes on the very wealthy. If you don%26#039;t want any taxes, vote for McCain.
Republicans believe that there are too many entitlements. People should pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. What about those without bootstraps? If you don%26#039;t believe that the government should help those in need, with entitlements, vote for McCain.
Republicans believe in a large military. Currently the military is the largest portion of our budget/debt. If you believe that we have to spend more money on the military, vote for McCain.
I could go on, but will end it here.Why should I vote for McCain? There is no reason. If you watched the debate...McCain was a mess. He looked cranky and just restless. I really liked when Obama said healthcare is a RIGHT while McCain said it was a responsibility. No, healthcare is a right...just like we have the right to own a gun and the right to peacefully assemble...Americans should have the right to healthcare. Obama said, there is no reason why anyone should have to file for bankruptcy because of medical bills. Why should I vote for McCain?You should vote for McCain to take what%26#039;s been happening for the last eight years and extend it for another four.
But if you don%26#039;t like what%26#039;s been happening the last eight years, then Obama is your man.Why should I vote for McCain?I will not leave negative rants or comments about Obama, but I stand by my strongest beliefs. I vote for the unborn. See the pictures in this link. Does this not break your heart?Why should I vote for McCain?you shouldn%26#039;tWhy should I vote for McCain?Because you want to keep supporting the rich
Because you want someone else to tell you what to do with your body
Because you want to continue to see the government be controlled by corporate interests
Because you don%26#039;t care about the environment
Because you don%26#039;t care about education
Because you want to see the US stay in Iraq for 100 years
Because you want to take a chance on having a hick from Alaska running the countryWhy should I vote for McCain?Because Obama has has a chance to prove himself to this country while being a senator, and decided not to do much. What makes us think the Presidency will be different. He has always been as Hillary Clinton put it %26quot;all talk no action%26quot;. If we could put a good speech in our gas tank and drive he would be a great choice.Why should I vote for McCain?McCain has stated his tax plan fully, 5000 tax credit per family for health insurance, doubling the child exemption to 7000 per child, cutting tax on buisness from 35% to 25%.
He%26#039;s a patriot who works across the isle with Dem%26#039;s and he has the experience with world leaders.
I wrote a piece for my local paper that will print today on Obama%26#039;s Global Poverty Act, senate bill 2433. He will give the UN our money to give to third world countries to the tune of 845,000,000,000 dollars.
I would be happy to answer any further questions and you may e_mail if you like.Why should I vote for McCain?neither one of the candidates will do anything worthy of positve %26quot;change%26quot; once they%26#039;re elected. they%26#039;ll just maintain the status quo and help their washington buddies out. the campaign promises are mostly BS. mccain has 30+ yrs of politcal experience. obama has 20+ yrs of experience in the realm of %26quot;community organizing%26quot;. so technically, when it%26#039;s all on paper, mccain has more experience. that may or may not be a reason to vote for him. either way, from last night%26#039;s debate we%26#039;ve learned that they%26#039;re BOTH liars in a variety of aspects. so to each his own.Why should I vote for McCain?We have 3 and only 3 choices, vote for Qbama and turn this once wonderful country into a socialist Sodom and Gomorrah, vote for McCain and cut taxes ( mainly for us self employed slobs that pay federal income and self employment takes on our business that, if I am lucky, may just gross a tad over $250 K this year, or just don%26#039;t vote at all and get what we deserve.Why should I vote for McCain?As a Christian Republican, Im voting for Barack. McCain doesnt understand that the world has changed. Barack does. McCain panders to special interests, and his campaign is run by lobbyists. I dont trust McCain- hes not a safe pair of hands in these difficult times. As a Patriot, Im voting Democrat this time.
Why should I vote for McCain?I guess you are already an independent as you seem to think enough to ask for evidence and reason. An honest question deserves an honest answer. Here are my supporting points for McCain vs. what Obama has presented to us:
(1) Corporate tax. US companies pay a 35% corporate tax. McCain proposes to lower this to 25% on ALL companies, not just big oil as Obama keeps saying. Fair treatment across the board, unlike Obama. Plus, doing this will help keep companies in the US instead of relocating overseas where taxes are less.
(2) Tax issues. McCain will make the Bush tax cuts (for ALL Americans) permanent. Obama wants to let them expire and replace them with a credit that is less than what the tax cuts in place would be.
(3) McCain proposes a one year freeze on government spending (excepting what is necessary for keeping the country running) to weed out unnecessary programs that are costing the taxpayers. Obama wants to increase spending and create a larger government.
(4) Foreign issues. McCain wants to complete our mission in Iraq for the better, while increasing the contingent in Afghanistan to bring that to a close as well. Obama wants to leave Iraq, regardless of victory and throw all effort into Afghanistan only.
(5) McCain takes a hard stance with Iran (a 30 year enemy), while looking at diplpomacy with Pakistan (a quasi-ally). Obama promotes diplomacy with Iran and is willing to violate the borders of Pakistan if they do not do what we want them to (per his statement in the first debate).
(6) Excess spending. McCain does not and has not requested earmarks. Obama requested nearly a million a day so far as documented, until it became an issue, then he stopped.
(7) Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac problems. Both Bush and McCain were SUPPORTERS of increased regulation (Bush in 2003 and McCain as co-sponsor of bill in 2006) in this area. Obama is still blaming them both for a problem that they at least made an effort to avoid.
It may just be me, but I see more of an equality in McCain than in Obama. Mr. Obama seems to think that only the poor are worthy of notice and that if you are wealthy you are a criminal or morally depraved and should be punished with higher taxes.

McCain/Palin in 08. it%26#039;s the right ticket for getting America back and keeping her safe and out of the hands of terror
God bless America and God bless you.
Ps: Excuse my spelling I%26#039;m sorry for rambling on .I love America so much It hurts to even dream she would end up in the wrong hands. McCain is a year older than I%26#039;am and I have seen the best and worse of times America has been through. A vote for McCain/Palin will help return us to better times
Spell check isn%26#039;t working.Why should I vote for McCain?I think first and foremost you have to vote after YOU do the research.
What people on here tell you can be taken with a grain of salt. The Obamabots wear blinders and don%26#039;t listen to facts at all and to be truthful most of the independants and Republicans here are the same.
We have made up our minds and there is no changing them.
If you truly want to know the facts. Check many sites, look into archives of political fact. Find places to allow you to see voting records and watch the news. Remember though that most media is slanted for Obama.
I am an independant voting for McCain / Palin. The reasons for this are varied, but here are a few. He has much experience with congress and the senate, he has voted to protect the citizens from many bills that were laden with earmarks (the libs just say he voted against the bill but they dont%26#039; say why, usually it was because they had earmarked it so heavily it was to damaging) He does try to work with all parties and tries to get things done together instead of keeping the house divided. Even though he is wealthy (what politician isn%26#039;t) he has many things that keep him grounded in everyday life with everyday people, such as a wife that works with children that suffer facial deformities) he adopted a child from a 3rd world country with that same problem. He has a military history and understands suffering in many ways . He also understands that you can%26#039;t change the mind of a terrorist.
He knows foreign policy and will be respected by our enemies and the US has many.
Anyway, those are a few of the reasons I am voting for him.
No, I don%26#039;t love everything about him but I do respect him and his family and values. I also feel he has been more than open about his life and history even if it doesnt%26#039; help him.
I value honesty and he fits that bill for me.
I am a democrat and I%26#039;ve heard all the negative comments about Barack and liberal democrats from Republicans. So, i%26#039;d like to know what information you can give me about McCain and what he plans to do that would make me change my vote before Nov. 4.

Ps: Excuse my spelling I%26#039;m sorry for rambling on .I love America so much It hurts to even dream she would end up in the wrong hands. McCain is a year older than I%26#039;am and I have seen the best and worse of times America has been through. A vote for McCain/Palin will help return us to better times
Spell check isn%26#039;t working.Why should I vote for McCain?I think first and foremost you have to vote after YOU do the research.
What people on here tell you can be taken with a grain of salt. The Obamabots wear blinders and don%26#039;t listen to facts at all and to be truthful most of the independants and Republicans here are the same.
We have made up our minds and there is no changing them.
If you truly want to know the facts. Check many sites, look into archives of political fact. Find places to allow you to see voting records and watch the news. Remember though that most media is slanted for Obama.
I am an independant voting for McCain / Palin. The reasons for this are varied, but here are a few. He has much experience with congress and the senate, he has voted to protect the citizens from many bills that were laden with earmarks (the libs just say he voted against the bill but they dont%26#039; say why, usually it was because they had earmarked it so heavily it was to damaging) He does try to work with all parties and tries to get things done together instead of keeping the house divided. Even though he is wealthy (what politician isn%26#039;t) he has many things that keep him grounded in everyday life with everyday people, such as a wife that works with children that suffer facial deformities) he adopted a child from a 3rd world country with that same problem. He has a military history and understands suffering in many ways . He also understands that you can%26#039;t change the mind of a terrorist.
He knows foreign policy and will be respected by our enemies and the US has many.
Anyway, those are a few of the reasons I am voting for him.
No, I don%26#039;t love everything about him but I do respect him and his family and values. I also feel he has been more than open about his life and history even if it doesnt%26#039; help him.
I value honesty and he fits that bill for me.

How would you define a Conservative Democrat and a Liberal Republican?
Who would you vote for and why? Would you ever cross the line outside of your party's affiliation should they ever change their traditional agenda from conservative to liberal or from liberal to conservative? Be honest with yourself.How would you define a Conservative Democrat and a Liberal Republican?Actually both are somewhat misnomers. Ignoring the labels of democrat and republican, a conservative is someone who has “socially” conservative values. And a liberal is one with “Liberal” social values. In any political group of people you can find both liberals and conservatives. In the Republican Party the liberals are usually called centrists. The Democratic Party calls conservatives middle of the road or “mainstream”.
Making a generalization – most conservatives (socially) don’t always see the republicans as watching out for them. It is just that of both the alternatives – the republicans are closer to social conservitivism then the democratic party is. And likewise most social liberals are democratic because it represents their overall view better.
If you vote your conscience or lack thereof, you will at times have to vote outside the party line.
We don’t do force on force training anymore – it’s all about actions on contact - Unnamed LT – 1/10 Cav - Iraq.How would you define a Conservative Democrat and a Liberal Republican?Conservative Democrat=the average American
Liberal Republican=fictional characterram interrogate pimples stop growing

Accidentally joined the American Independent Party?
While renewing my drivers license at the DMV, I accidentally joined the American Independent Party thinking I was joining a middle of the road independent thinkers party. Once I got home some research revealed that they are a group of neo-cons who are trying to circumvent the establishment clause of the constitution and force christian prayer in schools.

How to throw Third Grade Front made of Third Class leaders?
Every political expert or even common man understands and realizes that none of the political party or group is likely to secure majority in the forthcoming election. This election result will definitely produce fractured mandate. Undoubtedly there will be horse-trading and mad race to capture power. Political parties will not hesitate to cheat voters to capture power in the government or to capture money in lieu of support they extend to others in formation of government. Everyone in India understands that coalition government is now inevitable and hence it is very much desirable that special rules are formulated to face such critical situation and it should be made mandatory for all regional political parties to form a cohesive group or associate with some national party
Why not president of India or Chief Election Commissioner or National parties jointly decide before election how to form a National Government in case of fractured mandate? It will be wise to frame rule of game before the result is declared. During last two decades India has faced many critical situation due to coalition government and it inherent weakness and it therefore essential that proper laws are enacted to face fractured mandate without any delay so that any government does not feel handicapped while taking any step in the interest of the country.
If possible government should promulgate ordinance that only national political parties (specifically two or three having national presence and having secured at least 20% of votes polled in previous elections) can take part in national election and regional political parties can contest election at state level and only individuals without any party flag can participate in municipal level.
If any individual (or group of individuals or regional small political party) choosing to contest election for MP he must declare the name of national party he is or he would like to be associated with if he is elected by voters and he should be barred by legal provision for changing his connection with other political party after his election as MP for the full tenure of five years. Every candidate should declare his preferred leader (PM) in the nomination form. Such declaration should be made mandatory in nomination papers and after votes are polled and result is declared, it should also be ascertained through nomination papers of victorious candidates as to how many MPs belong to which group.
Any group which has more than 20 to 30% of MP of total strength should be entitled to form the government and during all proceedings and voting of the Parliament only such MPs will be entitled to cast votes . Those MPs who have not declared their association or affiliation with any national parties must not be allowed to vote in the Parliament.
In this way we can ensure stability of government and stoppage of premature fall of government. MPs will be constrained to become part of national parties and adopt a disciplined path and discard the habit of changing of political party for self interest or in greed of money and power.
I propose that proportionate representation from all National Political parties be taken together to form a national government. Out of every 10 MPs of a cohesive group, one representative will be selected. In this way there will 54 ambassadors. They will decide their common Minimum Programme under the guidance of President of India and other chief unbiased dignitaries like Governors or Chief Justices of states or Chief Justice of India.
Political Parties having more than 10 Ambassadors will form part of core cabinet and political parties having more than 20 or even 15 ambassadors will hold key ministry either singularly or jointly. There will be a consensus Prime Minister who may elect three or five Ambassadors of his choice. In case unanimous PM is not available, rule may be framed before how to select PM to avoid controversy. If needed, there may be provision for two or more PMs representing a group of state they like or they are assigned to.
In no case there should be any special status or place for any group or any political party like opposition benches or ruling party chairs. In the hall of Parliament all MP should behave like ambassadors of the country and they must strive hard to remove the psychology of ruler or opposers in the Parliament.
Mental setting of MP should change and they must take part in all sitting of all sessions. MP remaining absence without real sickness must be punished severely and those MP who remain absent or create problem in the house of Parliament should be barred from contesting election at lest for six years.
Those candidates who do not secure at least five percent of votes polled should be barred from contesting election at least for ten years and those political groups who do not secure at least 10% of votes polled should be forced to contest only state level election.
