If I could just combine what I liked in each candidate (a conservative with a good head for money and the underserved, then there would be no problem. )

As a registered INDEPENDENT since my 18th birthday, I often find myself choosing the lesser of two evils. MOST of the time, the choice is Democrat but there are some good ideas on the other side of the aisle and I have voted for Republican candidates in he past. (NOT Daddy or Baby Bush, though

)
I CHOSE not to affiliate with either party so that I can avoid the partisan debates that plague forums such as this one in every election year. Folks should not blindly follow the party line without demanding that the party work for them! The Dems take us (Black and other minority groups) for granted and the 'Pubs want to use us as tokens.
During our National Convention last week, one of our business sessions included designated sorors presenting the platform of 3 parties -- Democrat, Republican, Green Party -- for our personal information in keeping with our Political Awareness and Involvement programmatic thrust. We truly benefitted from the presentation of these platforms in a non-partisan, non-biased manner. I love my DST!!!
