I haven't read through a Democratic party platform document in decades, probably not since 1970. I have no idea what is in this year's "platform," and I couldn't care less. My father in law is a lifelong registered Republican. I haven't asked him, but I suspect he has never ever read a GOP party platform document. Question then: When you enter your voting booth, do you vote a straight Democratic ticket? Or, do you pick and choose, voting for a Republican here and there if you think the person running is better qualified. Honest answer only, please. Eisboch As I stated, I am a registered Democrat. I typically vote a straight Democratic ticket for all national and all statewide officeholders, e.g., president, U.S. senator, U.S. representative, governor, lieutenant governor, state delegate or state senator. The last Republican presidential candidate I voted for was Richard M. Nixon in 1972. I did not vote for Gerry Ford, though I liked him, and I never voted for Reagan or either of the Bushes. I like George H.W. Bush, but not enough to vote for him. For county/local officials, I will sometimes vote for an incumbent Republican if I know the candidate and am impressed by the job being done. I voted for a Republican officeholder in the 2006 local elections. But...I don't pay any attention to party platforms. Well, you may not pay any attention to them, but by voting a straight ticket for the national elections, you are supporting them . You've also supported the point I tried to make, meaning individual credentials aren't as important to you as the general party platform. To me, that's a dumb way to vote. Eisboch This is silliness. I vote for Democrats for national office because I have an affinity to Democratic party philosophies and because, since 1980, the Republicans have done everything within their power to ruin this country and mortgage its future. It has nothing to do with platforms. It has everything to do with philosophies and actions and results. Party platforms *are* the planned actions (goals) and reflect current party philosophies. Semantics at work here. Eisboch To some extent, they might. -- No way, no how, no McCain! |
