Poll: On how you vote

I live in Texas so I didn't bother to vote because I knew Bush would win the state. It sucks having the Presidential election decided by the voters in a handful of states.
 
I dont take political parties into consideration. I try to look at what the candidates say about their personal political views, not some party line.
 
Nationwide, I vote against the GOP.
In CA, I am open to voting for a moderate Republican, but since the GOP never nominates one, I vote against them too.
 
depends on the election. usually, i would like to say i vote for the person i agree with most. however, there have been some situations where i would vote for a canidate i might not agree with very much simply to keep a canidate i was against out.
 
I vote for the person that is the best. I am a republican, but here in WI, Russ Feingold is a pretty good guy despite the fact that he is a democrat. I don't agree with everything he says/does, but he has his priorities straight.
 
I usually vote green, but I will definately be voting Democrat, unless its Lieberman, because ANYTHING is better than what we got right now.

"..like the back of my hand..." 😛 Yeah, you'll know the back of MY hand 😛 Yeah, he's a pretty moderate Dem - but he still never got my vote.

I am not loyal to any party because the big 2 suck so badly these days and in no way are they looking out for us the people. So my answer would be I vote for a person.
 
I mostly vote for the person who best matches my beliefs and appears to have high integrity, but I adjust my approach in certain circumstances.

In spite of the folks who assume I'm a Democrat because of my criticism of Bush-lite, I actually have little respect for either party. Both parties are sell-outs to special interests. In that light, if a given race is lopsided anyway, I will often vote for a third-party candidate. I figure my vote speaks louder as an expression of dissatisfaction then it would if I threw it away on a Republicrat candidate. Similarly, if I don't have a strong preference for either of the two Demolican candidates, I often vote against the incumbent. Same rationale, show dissatisfaction with the status quo.

This has shifted somewhat over the past few elections. I keep finding that Republican actions outrage me more frequently than Democratic actions. In a close race with no clear "better" candidate, I tend to give the Democrat the benefit of the doubt.
