This is true. The worst thing we can do to ourselves and the future of this nation is to stick to party lines just because we like to put ourselves in tiny little boxes with great big labels. When someone doesn't agree with what we're saying, they often brand them as the opposite (see above post for prime example).
Depending on the issue, I have voted and will continue to vote regardless of the little letter in parentheses next to the candidate's name. After all, isn't that what politically savvy people do, anyway?
