Lets VOTE for a different party... ANTI-INCUMBANT!!!

[Stealth694]

Just one thing... Quite a few politicians are talking about distancing themselves from both parties and running as an independent. I am disillusioned with both parties too. However, I will not simply vote in an independent just to spite the two parties. That's opening a door to a whole other set of problems. I plan to study each candidate as carefully as I can, including any past track records and weigh my decision carefully before casting a vote.

Thats what I do, steelish, I try and find out the voting record of the candidate that are up for re-election. unfortunetly they usually vote the party line.

And opposition likes to use that against them.

• We were told that McCain voted the party line 90% of the time and that was too much. He obviously is not his own man!
• Yet Libermans voting record was along the party line 95% of the time and that was way to independent for his party. They essentially kicked him out
