why I'm not a republican... (or a democrat)

So as you know... I voted early... on my ballot I voted Democrat, Republican, and Libertarian...

why?

because I choose to think for myself...

I didn't just choose a party line. because frankly, it's a little small-minded because contrary to popular belief, when you vote you don't vote for a party... you vote for a person... and every person is different...

I watched debates, looked at websites, found facts and had conversations. I voted for the people who had positions closest to mine on the issues that they actually can make an impact.

so before you vote tomorrow... get some knowledge!


here are a couple of Election related articles to read

an amazing entry from Don Miller about how he went from republican to democrat.... check it!

Straight-ticket voters are the most irresponsible people in the world. To presuppose that just because someone is in your party, they're automatically the best choice is dangerous.
