| Voting Republican if you are a Democrat.
If you were pulling for Hillary C. and you support most all of her issues she fights for. Hillary does not get the nomination. You go and vote for McCain. How can you vote for someone who is diametrically opposed to your views? Then you go vote for McCain I think that the only way you do that is because you cant get around the race issue. This was a topic on a show I listen to. What do you think? |

let me sharpen the question, would you vote for a democrat who vocally and publicly disagrees with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, the Obamassiah, and Al Gore? They do exist, Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman are a couple noteworthy examples.

Zell Miller hasn't been in the US Senate in more than 3 years. | |

my question to OWB (and to you) stands. Are you intellectually honest enough to admit that you'd rather vote party line than for a candidate who's views best matched your own regardless of party affiliation?

Democrats like Shuler may as well be republicans in their eyes ("Uncle Tom" is another phrase used by democrats, but not publicly)

| I met Obama this year, and solidified my decision not to vote for him. He was incredibly cocky, and made me feel like I was not good enough to be talking to him.
Nothing to do w/ his views or race, just didn't like him.
