    You have to vote for your own best interest not the best interest of others. The point of voting is that your position or life has representation. Let them fight their own fight.

    I guess it just boils down to this. I'm getting older, richer, wiser and Im white. In no way do I fit in anymore with the Democratic Party.

    I already feel better

                1 guy out of 300 million switches from one do-nothing political party to another. I can already feel the shockwaves.

                  Switching teams has a different meaning around my neck of the woods. You mean you're changing parties.

                              Most people start out life as a Democrat. They think that everybody is of equal ability, that everybody tries hard, that if the government just made a few programs to "cure" poverty or insert problem that everything can be OK going forward.

                              Then you start living life and see that different people take different actions. Some people are just plain lazy, some people are dumb, some people are corrupt scum bags. You see that government programs are inefficient and the people that work in government are lazy and overpaid.

                              If you personally worked hard you keep hearing about how you were lucky, or privileged and how everybody would be better off if some crooked politician like John Corzine or John Kerry or Rahm Emmanuel took your money and passed it out to favored groups.

                              Most people get more conservative with age. This is especially true with Jews. Young Jews are very liberal in all aspects, but older Jew millionaires are rich and conservative but then there are some super rich billionaire Jews.

                                    Sadly largely true... Although I think Wyoming squeaked by us to be the reddest state as far as presidential voting goes in 2012 there are still more registered Democrats than Republicans in Oklahoma and head down south here ("Little Dixie") and some of the counties have well over 5:1 registered Democrats as Republicans.

                                      I'm probably going to register Republican for 2016. In my state, you have to be in one of the parties to vote in a Primary, so I have to switch out of being an independent. Did the same thing in 2008 to vote against Hillary in my Primary. I want to vote for Christie, as he's the only R chance to beat Hillary.

                                        Just like all democrates you are a hypocrite.

                                        When you dont have no money you vote for the people who promise to steal from others. Then when you finally have wealth you vote for the people that promise to protect its citicens from thieves.

                                        Its too late know. If I was you I would move out of the country

                                          I didn't know I was registered Repub until I voted in my 1st primary between Hillary and 'bama.

                                          Never looked at my card. It was still sealed in my dresser drawer for 30 years. I had that changed
                                          immediately.

                                          Kraken and guesser you better be fcking kidding!

                                          But, if you are not, I hope you can sleep at night knowing you are part of a party who would like
                                          to watch you get fcked in every hole possible, at their hands, while publically pulling down the zipper
                                          of their rich corporate friends guzzling their gizz.

                                          If you want your party to represent the 1% instead of the 99%, good luck. Fox news is your new home.

                                                  Yeah, damn those leftist million/ billionaires who instead get richer, are giving away their fortunes to organizations
                                                  to help people less fortunate than themselves.

                                                  Keep listening to the likes of oxycotton limpballs, Hannity, pin head and alcoholic ball baby Beck.

                                                  Suck the dicks of fake tan, ball baby boner, Graham and McCain.

                                                    It's not about being courageous or gutless. I simply have to vote in mine and my family's best interest. That's what America is about. Voting in a candidate that represents the majority. What good does it do me if I'm voting for a platform that helps everyone but myself? That doesn't make sense. I still donate to charities both time and money so Im helping others that way.

                                                    For those saying it doesn't really matter, you may be right. But that thought process is a huge part of why we're in the mess we're in. People quit caring, became disconnected and apathetic. This giving politicians a green light to do whatever they want. Why? Because none of it matters. Whatever happens, you're head is in the sand. At least interact and try. Have your local politicians email address and send them short emails every now and again. Both supportive and critical. Let them know people pay attention.

                                                    What other choice do we have?

                                                    ultimately we're all in this together. Doesn't matter which side you're on, much like sports gambling, we're all in it together. And there will always be winners and losers. Rich and poor. Black and white. But we've let those differences divide us as oppose to embrace them and unite us.

                                                      Never looked at my card. It was still sealed in my dresser drawer for 30 years. I had that changed
                                                      immediately.

                                                      Kraken and guesser you better be fcking kidding!

                                                      But, if you are not, I hope you can sleep at night knowing you are part of a party who would like
                                                      to watch you get fcked in every hole possible, at their hands, while publically pulling down the zipper
                                                      of their rich corporate friends guzzling their gizz.

                                                      If you want your party to represent the 1% instead of the 99%, good luck. Fox news is your new home.
                                                      If I want my vote to count at all, I have to be Republican Registered in my state in 2016. I'd love to stay Independent, and still be able to vote in my state's primary, but unfortunately, it's not like that here. I won't register Dem, because Hillary is a lock. I will not vote for her under any circumstances. Voting in the Repub primary for Christie is my only shot to vote for someone I kinda like. In the General, if Christie doesn't get through, I'll vote 3rd party, and I'll become an Indy again in 2017. I would never actually BE a Republican, unless the party becomes a party for Normal people again. All of the above is Predicated on Hillary running. If she's not, I'll likely register Dem to vote for Biden if he's running. I've been registered Indy for most of my adult life, except in primary years where I have a strong like or dislike for someone. Never Registered Repub. It should be fun.

                                                          It may be juvenille, but I kind of agree with the South Park Creators on how it really goes.

I honestly believe although there are some ideological differences there is a lot more common ground between the majority of both parties. Both sides want a lot of the same things. However the extremists have taken over and even been voted in a made it appear as if there is now two Americas, a red one and a blue one, as opposed to a United States of America.

                                                                      I knew she had little shot, due to her initially supporting the war in Iraq. Whether it was Obama, or someone else, that was going to cost her big time back then, and it's why Obama beat her. Different time now. She's rehabbed herself among the Dems. If she declared, she wins easily, probably unopposed, except for a fringe person or 2, if that.
