Quote:I don't vote along party lines at all.

 

I'll let out a little secret.  Alvin Brown(D) was our Mayor.  I didn't vote for him when he won, but I was pretty much satisfied with what he did in this city.  So in this last election, I actually voted for him.   :woot:   Shocker, I know.  A conservative votes for a democrat.  I never have and never will vote along party lines.  Party for the most part means nothing to me.

 

I honestly don't think I can bring myself to vote republican.  You're a bigger man than me...  Remember that website in that one thread where you could determine which candidates you most agree with.  

 

My top 3 were Bernie, Hillary and Rand Paul...  Of course you know I'd take Bernie over the other 2...  But I think the closest I can say about my open-mindedness (or lack thereof) is that I'd have to think long and hard before voting for Hillary if Rand was the Republican Nominee...

 

One of these day's I'll sure we'll have a discussion about why we vote the way we do.  I'm sure I'll eventually explain my position and why I no longer trust Republicans but it's not just irrational hatred for them.  

 

It's all in one's ideology, I guess.  One that develops while living life.  At one point, I was the hardest of hard-core fiscal conservatives...  But I learned alot and went through the 30 years realizing that fiscal conservatives never seem to getting around to fixing problems for the economic/social class I reside in.  But that's just been my point of view.  I know alot of us differ on these topics...  

 

Gotta put the kids to bed...
