Have You Ever

Have you ever voted for someone not in your affiliated political party? Not just in the General Elections, but State and City elections, too.

I was a Democrat for years when I was young. I believed the Democrats were for the working class, mostly because my dad said so. But I voted for Independents, Republicans and Democrats, depending on their views on policies important to me at the time.

Then, in my late 20's, I switched to Republican because they were supposed to be for smaller government, lower taxes and a strong military. But I voted for Democrats, Libertarians, Independents and Republicans.

Now I'm registered in California as "No party affiliation" which in California means I'm an independent, I guess.

I believe both Democrats and Republicans have let us down. But I will still vote for whoever I think is best regardless of their party affiliation.

How about you?

Hi Scarecrow: And yes. In all cases. For the views, for the best person, for the leadership. Always.

Sure did until my state made us choose a party. Really ****** me off.
