Was Dixie right?

I will vote for a demon crat regardless of whom it is. Too much neocon lately, We need to fix a few things they screwed the pooch on.
The cons can have it again in another 12 years after people forget how bad they screwed up.

You might view this as partisan, but it is not. It is anti neo/Bush crowd.

Except it is also partisan. To say, "I'll vote for this party regardless" is most definitely a partisan remark.

You don't understand obviously. I am voting against the Bushie neos, not for the demoncrats. Partisanship is support of a party. I am just picking what I consider to be the lesser of the evils.
No one else besides a demoncrat has a chance of winning against the cons.


I am a registered Rebutliken remember, so haow would this be partisan ?

Once again, strictly remarking that you are voting specifically one party is a partisan remark regardless of the reasoning behind it.

There are Rs that are clearly not "neocon", there are also other parties. Your suggestion that they only way to vote "not Bush" is to vote Democrats' Party is a definitively partisan remark.
 
In other words, it isn't that I don't understand the reasoning, it is that I do understand that regardless of "reason" behind the choice you have chosen to be partisan in the next election.

I didn't expect otherwise, you have never supported anybody but a Democrat as long as I have 'known' you online. Regardless of how you may be RINO registered.
 
damo...why do you continue to act as if "partisan" is a dirty word?

Are you incapable of understanding how someone might sincerely and honestly want what is best for America and also happen to believe that the best way to make that happen in today's political system is by being partisan?

One could easily make one about what "Moderates" say and what "Partisans" hear in this case. Regardless of the reason to make the choice to be partisan, it is partisan to specifically limit yourself to one party for whatever reason.

This is why: Edwards, Obama, Clark, Vilsack, and Richardson are superior in every way to Gulliani, McCain, Tancredo and Gingrich.


Now, if it was Al Sharpton against John McCain, I'd vote Green or McCain. Sharpton ain't qualified to be prez.

Then I am clearly not partisan. I voted for 2 republicans in the local elections in NOV. :tongout:
 
Exactly Cyp. The republican party hasn't produced anyone really worthy to become CIC.

Although, if they nominated Christie Whitman, I could be persuaded.

However, saying, "I am going to be partisan this next election, but this isn't partisan" is ridiculous.

You act like it is bad to make choices on such a partisan basis. You are choosing to be partisan for a reason, not just because you are in a party.

However, Many Ds voted for Rs in Elbert, mostly because there was nobody running against them...

Your statement, that whomever was running you would vote D, is partisan by its definition.

Nope after 6 years of bushie's neos it is smart, not partisan.

the 2 repubs I voted for did have demoncratic opponents. I don't vote for anyone who is running unopposed.

Once again... The reason behind it (smart in your opinion) doesn't change that it is partisan.

You have some sort of qualm against labelling a decision as a partisan one, even when it is. Sometimes there is a good reason (again in your opinion) to make such a decision. Just saying "this partisan decision isn't partisan because it was a smart decision" is once again simply being silly.

Sometimes there is good reason to make such a decision. Clearly many have been taught to believe all things partisan are some sort of secular evil, but they really aren't...
 
Any statement, "I am only going to vote for this Party in this election" even if it is only one particular race, such as Pres. is Partisan by definition...

Just because you personally don't vote the line doesn't make that statement somehow magically not partisan, the statement is defined by the Party you are going to vote for, it by its very focus on the Party is most definitely Partisan.
 
Let me put it this way. If they put forward another neocon, I will vote the Libertarian Party regardless of who they put forward. While I personally am not Partisan, I know that the statement of how I will vote next Pres election is a Partisan statement.
 
You can throw you vote away on the libertarian party if you wish.
My attitude of voting for anyone who has a chance of beating the repubs next time in the presidential race is not partisan, just anti republican.
 
ahem....
