I respect your opinion and I agree, I have no problem with well-informed voters that decide that every candidate of one party is their favorite. Often times, that is what happens, people align themselves with a party's agenda and that is why we have parties, lol.

My biggest problem were the "yellow-dog" voters. As in if a big yellow dog was running against a well-respectable candidate, if the yellow dog was running for their party, they have their vote.

I do agree, Washington has gotten very sickening. It is almost impossible to reach across party lines anymore. James Madison warned us about political parties, and I guess he was right, lol. I also feel as if a person HAS to pick their poison between "stingy, money-****ry, war-mongering" EXTREME Republicans or "Robin-hooded, baby-killing, hippie-like" EXTREME Deomocrats. Nobody is willing to be an Henry Clay and try to bring both sides together, (even though he had his faults, you know what I am trying to say )

If the Tea-Party had candidates that were not so crazy and just totally ridiculous, I would be able to latch on. I like the idea of shaking up Washington. It is too hard for a good man/woman to be moral, by any stretch of the imagination. I honestly believe that MANY congress men and women would NEVER vote if they were not required. That way they would be able to avoid the campaign bullets.

I don't believe that a Democrat can appeal to Republican or vice-versa in Washington anymore. If you notice that almost every major bill that has been passed in the last 10 years has been either a democrat-favored bill or a republican favored bill. Nothing major that has been passed has been liked by both sides. Many times a bill can be drafted at 30-35 pages, but by the time all the crap has been added to it it is a 500-1000 page piece of garbage that congress-people don't even read!

I know that I have totally hi-jacked this thread and I apologize. It doesn't even matter because unless I drive from Jamestown to Brodhead, I wont be able to vote. (I made a vow to never be registered in the same county that I pastor in, to avoid HUGE church fights, but that is another story, :lmao: )

LOL, sure you would. This sentence proves you do exactly what you are accusing others of, just voting for the D. You don't think Tea-party candidates aren't running against some liberal crazy loons??? You need to examine the positions of the candidates a little more closely...:biggrin:
