No.

Delt Alum, I agree with you. No party has a monopoly on the truth, or on idiots. I get crazy when people don't know ANY of the issues!

Then the original post isn't either, is it?

What the heck are you talking about?

Beats me. You're the one who brought it up.

I'm not in the mood for this...I'm really not. You're fired.

Thank God. I'm outa here.

Actually, the student body president is a good friend of mine. Sure, it's a stereotype, but in this case it's true.

And I also find it sad that people vote with their parents simply because their parents voted that way, but if you think about it we probably all pretty much stick with our parents, because that's the kind of environment we were raised in.

If you were raised to believe that abortion is wrong, prayer in schools is right, etc... then you're probably going to keep believing that. I personally was raised in a very liberal family, and even though most of my young life I was a democrat simply because my mommy was telling me "Clinton is a good man, Bush is a bad man," when I researched for myself, I found that I am a true democrat, not just because of my parents.

As far as it being sad that people vote just on parties... well, I've only voted in one election (I'm 21), and I'll admit that I wasn't as educated about Bush or Gore as I should be, but my philosophy is that more than likely, the democratic candidate is going to have more of my beliefs than a republican.

I agree with you!! People always say that it's bad to vote stictly based on party affiliation, but seriously, if you don't know much about either candidate, pick the one who is aligned with the same party as you. More than likely he or she will share many of your political beliefs. Well more than the other guy/gal anyway.

Just about any thing really. Screw those people. The Christian right needs to be slapped untill they all stop talking. They make everyone else look bad.

So I was looking for another thread today and came across this one. I'm curious to know after 13(!!) years and our current first family, do any of the (admittedly few) active posters who posted in this thread feel the same way?

How dare you blaspheme our first lady. ;)

I still feel the same way about the libertarian party as back in '04. Wow. It's crazy to see all of those old names. Thanks for necroing this thread.

Wow - blast from the past! Hope all is well.

In terms of the question - I'm very close to changing parties now. The reason is that it's become clear my current party doesn't represent my beliefs and values.

Honeychile, you still with the GOP? This thread is super interesting to read Ann y'all responses but yours stuck out because of the First Lady part.
