I Almost Changed To A Democrat Today

They both suck. Who do we vote for this election year? And they wonder why voters are apathetic...

Well, no comment on the political stuff, but, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

A bicameral party system [truly, it's only a 'system'- any imbalance could bust up the status quo] is inherently capable of corruption inevitably- and each subsequent election tends to prove this more and more.

Part of the problem is those elected that tend to prove the ills of our governmental system all too true- The Chapaquidics, The Viet Kerries, Clintoons and the likes of Florida's Gay E-mail fancier... The lingering fact that we [and I use "we" VERY loosely] vote them back into office simply amazes me.

The parties don't suck.

They blow pipe.

I have to agree though- the political side of things can wait- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday,

Some information for you, just this week on Gather, I learned that President Bush, way back in March of 2005 has signed an agreement to eliminate the borders between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, to issue identification that allows free movement from Mexico to the U.S. and Canada, To set up a court for certain cases, (separate from U.S., Canada, and Mexico current courts), to share border security (this is the one border to encompass all three nations) many other provions all to be in place by 2010. Only 4 years away.
No public disucssion
No discussion in Congress
But yes, vote for them. This agreement is already signed, in process of being implemented, re-elect the congressmen and then another Republican President,
It might be the last U.S.A. National Election.

Democrat, Republican, It no longer matters, you are destined to be a citizen of the North American Union

Here is a link North American Leaders Unveil Security and Prosperity Partnership"
It is Unbelievable that this has not been in the news.

You are NOT alone, I stand beside ya on this one. Time for change, I said it in 2000, and I'm saying it again!

I am a registered voter, never mind which party but I have not missed an election since I registered in 1978. I vote for the person that I think will do the best job or in other words "The lesser of two evils"
Happy Birthday!

happy birthday, janet. i hear you. i am still registered as a republican, but i am definitely a disaffected one. the republicans can't count on me for votes.
i feel like the bush administration are RINOS. i feel like a party of one. i'm a fiscal conservative and a social liberal.
i believe in the republican principles but i think hardly any republicans even know what the republican principles are. they seem like a bunch of social conservatives, fiscal liberals. and that's about the opposite of me.
the democrat party doesn't fit me well either.
i think the libertarians have too wild of a philosophy for me and transition to such an economy would be brutal. we might not survive, lol.

i used to be pretty active, was a moderate republican. not now. i don't feel right about being a precinct committeeperson and carrying literature. i don't volunteer for campaigns much anymore, even though i used to be a campaign manager. i don't like to be bullied, so i don't go to party events.

if the republican party ever becomes relevant to me, i will be there. until then, i will vote faithfully but not necessarily republican.

Good riddance. The Republican Party doesn't need wimps.

It doesn't matter, you can still vote for the best person come election day. I think we get too hung up on this in recent years. I think it would be great if one year everybody, and I mean everybody, went out and registered Independent for the hell of it. I would love to see the shock, and dropping jaws, that goes through Washington on that move..Ha ha.

Janet, in the end it doesn't make any difference if you see yourself as a Republican or a Democrat, because it is your core values that is important. Regardless, of 'which side' wins the upcoming elections, we are in for, as Betty Davis once said, "For a bumpy ride." For me, the real issue is that today American politics are seen more than ever as a two-sided game, which is silly. I know so-called conservatives who are environmentalist. Liberals who are anti-choice. I mean really, must we all choose from a Fish Fillet or a Big Mac menu. All that most citizens can do is stay informed, reading/watching various newspapers/radio/TV. Listen to what people are saying, even if you believe you think the opposite. Lastly, get involved, be it letting your representatives at the city, county, state, and federal level know your feelings on important issues or volunteer for candidates you believe in.

Oh, and Happy Birthday!!!

Happy birthday.

TJ, you know, I see you around and I really haven't interacted with you for a reason. I find you rude. The example was, what it was. I can label an issue any damn way I please, as you can do the same. I do know liberals (labeling them such on how they feel on the majority of issues) who are anti-choice. You can like that or not.

It is further interesting that you select that comment to quibble over while Allen P. seems overly harsh and cruel about Janet just questioning the state of things. All I was suggested she do is become more informed and more active in knowing her representatives on various governmental levels. I do not see how that advice could be interpreted as anything else than what it is.

Overall, I was stating that a two team political attitude is stupid.

Well here is my input-happy birthday-and-your affiliation does not stop you from, or force you to vote one way or another.

many balloons, many smiles, and few candles to wish upon.
