I disagree with that. I think you should always vote for the person and not the party. There are bad people in both parties. I'm not going to vote for someone I don't like just because he's in one party. I would never vote for that idiot Bob Goodlatte or whatever his name is. He's a republican congressmen in Kentucky or somewhere in that part of the country. He was the guy who was responsible for the bill that would try to outlaw most forms of internet wagering. In addition, he was leading the opposition against the bill that would stop them from sending horses to slaughterhouses. That guy is the worst. I don't care what party he is in.

i took a survey back during the last presidential election, it was supposed to tell you if you were a dem or republican. i came out 60/40 towards republican. but i often vote across party lines, no way i could go strictly by R or D--for instance there's a guy here in ark running for lt governor. he's a staunch ultra-conservative right wing religious zealot. no way i'd vote for him. he even has the fish symbol on all his campaign signs, which is a bit weird to me...but hey, whatever. people like him scare me, as he only sees things in black and white. it's not always that easy.

Cool Danzig..I can agree with this too! Take care, and goodnight. I'll chat some more about this in the morning.
