    Excellent Lens with plenty of information. I'd be interested in your opinions on the subjects included in my new Lens: Food Police. Please stop by if you wish. Thanks.

    I find an increasing number of people voting AGAINST something rather than FOR something.

    They support the Democrat not because they like him/her or what they stand for, but because they like other guy less and vice versa.

    Consequently, these people aren't getting what they want and aren't happy with their government because they never voted for what they wanted, just against what they didn't want.

    I think our options are limited by having a two party system. Ultimately, neither party has to do their best, or what's right for America, they just have to make the other side fail in what they are trying to achieve and the vote will swing their way because it has nowhere else to go.

    So we get what we have today, two parties trying to make each other look bad whilst running the country into the ground. Sad.

    Democrat or Republican? No thanks.

    I prefer to call the Dumacrats, and Flubupicans. Both parties are corrupt, but I vote republican, because they do less damage to the country and my family.

    I'm a Democrat because Democrats haven't sold weapons to Iran. We haven't given aid to the Taliban.

    Tramadol, look up CAIR and how many times they have been sued for contributing to the Taliban. Then look up all of the candidates that support CAIR. Sorry to burst your bubble, but your reasons for being a Democrat are based upon false information.

    It was an interesting read. I'm not an American but believe you must have people who can lead. Most countries now have parties with no clear mandate to lead so have to form partnerships to lead as a government, often from totally opposed ideologies. Of course this cannot work and people should at last be able to make up their minds. I also firmly believe that American principles have done so much for the world. Americans need to ask themselves again, just exactly what these principles were? Blessed by an Angel.

    Fiscally responsible, my favorite word...

    Blue Dog Democrat. Fiscally responsible and socially accepting of all people.

    Um, I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat. Both political parties are far too much to the Right. Neither represents principled liberals like me. Republicans and Democrats both have sold out to corporate lobbyists. So, where does that leave me in this dichotomous lens?

    Um... voteless? Coffee or Tea? =)

    this website has a lot of information and I did enjoy seeing people defending their positions and political views. Hpwever, I do think the information as far as explaining the parties falls short on the democrat platform. The republican platform explanation had a lot more helpful information.

    Wow, what a website; Very informative and interesting.

    I have never been one to find an interest in politics, but I do believe in the importance of voting. I still have not made up my mind as to which party I choose to side with. I am stuck in the middle, but the information posted on this site has caught my interest by far and further informed me on certain views from each party that I had not previously been aware of. I am definately more interested in politics and wish to continue my research on both parties before making a decision.

    I would appreciate for you guys to share websites similar to this one.

    I agree Beautiful, we need to pay attention.

    On a side note to everyone who visits this lens, Please know that it is critically important to be informed. I noticed that some people are wavering about sticking with their current party simply because they seem like they are currently the underdogs. That is NOT a good reason to quit your party! If you are going to take action, do it so that it helps the good guys win. Do it to protect the lives and well-being of your children and your great grandchildren alike from government oppression. Be brave and stand for what matters most.

    Phew! I finally made it through the lens AND comments. Great, relevant lens, great duels and excellent platform for rants! I have a feeling though that this great distraction of us fighting with each other (not just here but everywhere) is totally cutting into the CSPAN viewing time :)

    Folks (me included) let's pay close attention to what those people are doing in Washington, we may not all agree about who they are and what they're doing, but we can all agree that we're PAYING them to do it!

    Wow, indeed!! This is an excellent lens that covers your topic thoroughly.
    I once was a devoted Republican. Then I became a die hard Democrat.
    Finally I evolved into a person who voted for whoever seemed the least of two evils.
    Yes, that sounds cynical. I'm cynical about all politicians now.
