It happens in every party, no matter what because people have some need to stay with their little group.

I keep seeing this on this guild and it's a point that really pisses me off, just because you're part of a party doesn't mean you must vote for that party. It's so annoying when people say they don't vote along party lines and act like it's such a big deal. I'm a registered Democrat but I'd vote for any Conservative if they were the best choice for the country. People seem to aline themselves with a party mostly because they either want to be someone or the idea of being Independent doesn't sound good. I know the only reason I joined a party is to influence choices more as in during primary elections. That and the fact I plan to run for office which would be helped if I was a part of a major party. Parties aren't some club with strict rules that you must follow like "always vote for your party." It's ideas like that which lead to elections like 2004 where people outside the parties voted against a candidate instead of for. The wouldn't have the "courage" to vote third party because the stigmatism is that is a wasted vote. There is no such thing in this country as a wasted vote, the face you voted outside the normal two candidates shows that you dislike what the major parties are doing and you want change.

Well if they are not on the ballot no one can vote for them, unless of course a Write-in; but Write-ins are rarely ever counted.

well thats the way it should be however I seen alot of fellow republicans catching flack from thier fellow republicans because they are considering casting a vote for obama.

That's Because I see him as an Assclown, and I don't hate on Fellow Republicans for voting for Obama, I hate on Everyone who votes for Obama.
I've given my reasons why.
several times, I'll repeat them
I would do it now, but I got Evil Dead 1 + 2 Book of the Dead Editions, They are so cool I soiled myself 7 times when I watched them.

I don't even know who I'll vote for on my first election. I'm just so tired of the whole process.

That is my point exactly
3 Seats is nothing, think about it.
