Party Affliation

[Multidigits]

Republican

[REGULAR JOE]

Multi,

I don't have a bone to pick with you or anyone else in terms of what political party they affiliate with. I consider myself a Republicrat because I evaluate the individual's merit and beliefs when evaluating who to vote for. If there is a Dem/Rep with strong character and morals, they will get my vote. I like to look at the candidates, not in terms of what they say, but what they mean.
For example (I'm sure you'll disagree), I and a ton of others thought that Fletcher would be the better of the two evils. However, in my opinion, he has driven a deeper wedge between the House and Senate than any previous administration. In fact, I have caught myself thinking that Chandler would probably have been less of a pain in the butt. That is not to say that I think Fletcher is a bad person or I disagree with him entirely. It's that his mode of operation is causing division, even in his own party. That to me says he is telling his constituants that he is going to do things his way or no way at all.
In a perfect world, we would have people in leadership positions that truly represent the people. I don't believe millionaires can truly understand what it's like to live making $40k/year or truly understand the needs of all people. It is how it is.
I can see your viewpoint, Multi. But, I also have an open mind and try to set aside the core political loyaly in order to see through the mud being slung. There are just as many Dems that are outdoorsmen as there are Reps so I don't quite understand your concept. But, I say to each their own.

"Remember, you are unique...just like everyone else."

I've been in the Army for over 20 years here are something I've found out about Kerry. With his record in Senate and his outlook on our military and the defense of our country there is no way I see how anyone can vote for anyone other than GWB

In 1996, Introduced Bill To Slash Defense Department Funding By $6.5 Billion. Kerry’s bill had no co-sponsors and never came to a floor vote
In 1995, Voted To Freeze Defense Spending For 7 Years, Slashing Over $34 Billion From Defense. Only 27 other Senators voted with Kerry.
In 1993, Introduced Plan To Cut Numerous Defense Programs, Including:
ü Cut The Number Of Navy Submarines And Their Crews;
ü Reduce The Number Of Light Infantry Units In The Army Down To One;
ü Reduce Tactical Fighter Wings In The Air Force;
ü Terminate The Navy’s Coastal Mine-Hunting Ship Program;
ü Force The Retirement Of No Less Than 60,000 Members Of The Armed Forces In One Year.
Has Voted Repeatedly To Cut Defense Spending, Including:
ü In 1993, Voted Against Increased Defense Spending For Military Pay Raise. Kerry voted to kill an increase in military pay over five years.
ü ü In 1992, Voted To Cut $6 Billion From Defense. Republicans and Democrats successfully blocked the attempt to cut defense spending.
ü ü In 1991, Voted To Slash Over $3 Billion From Defense, Shift Money To Social Programs. Only 27 Senators joined Kerry in voting for the defense cut
ü ü In 1991, Voted To Cut Defense Spending By 2%. Only 21 other Senators voted with Kerry, and the defense cut was defeated.
Kerry Opposed Weapons Critical To Recent Military Successes
Running For Senate In 1984, Kerry Promised Massive Defense Cuts. “Kerry in 1984 said he would have voted to cancel … the B-1 bomber, B-2 stealth bomber, AH-64 Apache helicopter, Patriot missile, the F-15, F-14A and F-14D jets, the AV-8B Harrier jet, the Aegis air-defense cruiser, and the Trident missile system. He also advocated reductions in many other systems, such as the M1 Abrams tank, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the Tomahawk cruise missile, and the F-16 jet.”
Weapons Kerry Sought To Phase Out Were Vital In Iraq. “[K]erry supported cancellation of a host of weapons systems that have become the basis of US military might -- the high-tech munitions and delivery systems on display to the world as they leveled the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein in a matter of weeks.”
During 1980s, Kerry And Michael Dukakis Joined Forces With Liberal Group Dedicated To Slashing Defense. Kerry sat on the board of “Jobs With Peace Campaign,” which sought to “develop public support for cutting the defense budget

Republican, however I will always vote for the candidate I like best. I sure hope Bush wins this one!!

[skin_dog1]

I'm a registered republican and have never voted for a democrat. With that said, if the right one ever comes along he or she, black or white will get my vote. I don't have a problem crossing party lines, just never had a reason to do it!!!!

Annoy a Liberal - Work, succeed, and be happy!!!

GOP Never have and never will vote democrat. Democrat=socialism.

[schuyler olt]

I was a conservative Democrat for roughly 25 years. Now I'm a moderate Republican. The change came when I left a polling place having just cast a straight Republican ballot! So I clearly will cross party lines.

[Steel foxin]

Republican, alway's will be a republican!! If anyone else on here want's to hunt,fish,or even own a GUN, they too will vote republican!!

[Clint Daniels]

Only one party for me! WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

To hunt, provide for my family, and serve my Lord and savoir Jesus Christ.

[Basswipe]

Slightly right of center moderate. I don't affiliate with a single party. I simply vote for the person that most closely matches my view of things. I've never pulled a straight party ticket.

I will be voting for Bush in this one.

Democracy is two wolves and rabbit voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well armed rabbit preventing the vote from being enforced.

Stay content in the mundane it gives us energy when the spectacular comes along....

[Hammer]

Registered democrat but that means nothing. Would have liked a more viable candidate than Kerry as I'm not too keen on the job Bush has done. However, seeing the 2 choices I have, I will cast mine against Kerry.

[steelslinger]

I registered as a dem when I was "young, dumb, and full of....." I didn't know squat about politics. 4 years in the Army changed my views, especialy due to the lack of funding for proper equipment to train with, let alone fight with.

Now with some age and understanding, I'm a republican.

Does that mean I vote a strait ticket? No, I have voted strait at times, but depends who's running, I've even voted a write in before (and the write in won, Brucie Moore for Union county attorney). In my county, locals run as dem's or independant, running as a rep is political suicide, but times are changing. More and more in this area are converting due to the extreme liberalness direction the dem's are taking. I'm a coal miner and miners use to be mostly dem's but the extreme stance on the environment is threatening the coal industry in a big way. I'm also a hunter and sportsman like many others in this area, and they too are swaying to the rep side.

Wife and I are voting Bush !!

shoot em in the lips

[perrymax]

I was a democrat when I was young and nieve and I thought that people like Wendel Ford actually had some say so in the party. Now that I'm older and more responsible and more politically educated I know that the democrats are completely run by liberals from New York and California and that the democrat establishment actually despises people like me!

I've done the research and I know what's going on now.I'm proud to be a Republican.

[EC]

Life long registered Democrat. With that said, I haven't voted for a Democrat for President since Jimmy Carter's first go at it. The Democratic party on the national level has long since abandoned me with it's damaging brand of liberalism and it's support for activist judges.

Did not have to register by party in Indiana. You just have to specify which primary you are going to vote when entering the polls. Registered Democrat in Kentucky as Warren Co. has very few Republican's that run in a primary. My politics are moderate to conservative and you know which party they are usually found.

[uscmas412]

As I'm from South Carolina, it seems my rightful duty to vote republican but there are many factors I have to look at. Yeah Kerry may have voted to reduce military spending, but the U.S spends more on defense then the rest of the world combined (and we still have trouble)! Seems like I could use some of that for extra scholarship money so I'm not paying of student loans the rest of my life, but hey, there are thousands of people that do it everyday. Then there's the seemingly Democratic principle of affirmative "blacktion." Not to offend anyone, but this is about as socialist as the government can get. I think my final decision may rest upon the outcome of tonight's debate...we'll see how it goes.

Remember this: If you say something and someone responds, that is politicly incorrect; most of the time, what they realy mean is: I CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

As a side note, I have heard a lot of people compain about the economy in their attacks against President Bush. Well, President Bush is mostly concerned, at this point, about national security. This is as it should be. Remember, if we don't have solid national security, the least of your worries will be the economy. This is because if we don't have solid national security, WE WILL HAVE NO ECONOMY TO WORRY ABOUT! Instead we will all be in poverty, serving under some tin horned dictator like Sadam Husain (Pronounced SoDamb Insane). Who among you wants to slave all day at work, come home to a bowl of cold rice (if your lucky) and hope that some dictator doesn't send men to kick down your door and kill you for his amusement? That is what we will have if our nation is put in the hands of these spineless democrats like John Kerry.

I registered as a demon-crat back in the 70`s. I didn`t know the difference and didn`t realize I had republican views. I would vote for Michael Savage if he were running. So Bush it is. THANK YOU VETERANS!!!!!!!
