And I agree with Corey that often our presidential elections do seem like picking the best of the worst.

And you're right, if candidates would just be real about what they think without living in enslavement to their respective parties, we'd be able to get a much better sense of who they are. <BR/><BR/>I can't consider myself Republican or Democrat anymore. And it makes it all the harder to know how to vote...*sigh*Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289135829751255458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7848206496846901193.post-58077515722618792692007-10-17T05:00:00.000-07:002007-10-17T05:00:00.000-07:00I'm with you Lori.

I don't trust any politicians, so I vote for the party that support my beliefs most closely.<BR/>I'm a humanist, and get annoyed at the have nots always getting the short straw, so I tend to vote labour . But I didn't like Tony Blair and I'm none too fond of Gordon Brown.Jo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7848206496846901193.post-18526692348598746232007-10-17T00:08:00.000-07:002007-10-17T00:08:00.000-07:00I've often envied the straightforwardness of the U...I've often envied the straightforwardness of the US election system versus that of what we have here in Canada, where we have lengthy lists of provincial parties and a completely different list of federal parties, with each party having its own agenda. Even parties with the same name can be confusing (i.e. there's a British Columbia "Liberal" party, which is different than an Ontario "Liberal" party, which is different still from the federal, nationwide "Liberal" party).<BR/><BR/>All of this means a voter really needs to do his or her homework. Heck, at least you vote, which is the most important thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7848206496846901193.post-24579574016286579032007-10-16T17:26:00.000-07:002007-10-16T17:26:00.000-07:00Woe- you and your husbands professions vs party af...Woe- you and your husbands professions vs party affiliations are deffinately unique.

I think it is a horrible way to go. Usually it is just picking the best of the worst. :(Corey~living and lovinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719661119360487023noreply@blogger.com
