    I voted for a local demoncrat once or twice. It was because of experience, not party.

    There would have been Republicans IN THE PAST I would have voted for too bh. I'm not restricting the question to pols. Are there Dems you like and Republicans you don't? Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday!

    I don't vote "party".  It doesn't matter to me if the person running is a Democrat, a Republican ... or a Martian.  I vote for the person I think will do the best job.  Unfortunately, that's getting harder and harder to do.

    Fine Shuhak. Good. That is as it should be. So you have no party affiliation. You don't relate to any particular political agenda. You like everyone. That's good.  The Republicans advertised themselves as the party of Family Values, Morality, Fiscal Conservatism. They are not that any longer. What they are I don't know . The Dems are/were allegedly the party that cared about social services to those in need...doing FOR the people what only government could do and not doing TO the people and sucking all the life and money out of them to enrich the already obscenely wealthy as is the case now. So you are not drawn to any particular set of circumstances. No passions? No deal-breakers?   I guess you would be a true Independent. My folks were working class. Democrats. I've lived my whole life as a Democrat and as I've gotten older I've become a LIBERAL Democrat. I haven't softened. I've hardened. I like some Republicans. I think maybe one or two like me. But the rhetoric in general between the two opposite camps is venomous, vitriolic, embarrassing. I had a Republican Mugger put all the blame for  deception/lies on the Dems. Implying all truth resides with Republicans and all lies are the province of Democrats. I think he is serious. I find that very odd for someone whom I thought was intelligent. Anyway I digress. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday. I am not a gun person. I support the Parkland kids and  the protests and the marches and the speeches and the passion and the Black Lives Matter folks. I am a Liberal Democrat. It can't be helped. It's due to my wiring! :) This post was edited by RosieG at April 9, 2018 2:41 AM MDT
