Do you like your party as much as you dislike the other?
An Emory University study indicates that more Americans dislike the other party significantly more than they like their own.

This certainly applies to me. To the extent that I'm a Democrat (I'm a registered Independent, but I've voted mostly Democrat for 13-14 years now), but it's more because of my disdain for what the GOP has become than being enamored of the Democrats.

I always vote the straight Democratic ticket. At least my crooks pay lip service to positions I believe in.

Uh-oh.....this appears to be something we actually agree on....I vote Republican because I have no choice. I can't vote Libertarian or some "small" candidate that I know doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning....I'm sending in checks to Hideous Clinton's campaign for 50 cents because it is more expensive to actually "run" the check thru the system....that and my vote is the only recourse I have....Of course, I've spoken with a lot of people who don't pay any particular attention to current events and am quite adept in explaining the manual process of Late Term Abortions....how Ambassador Chris Stevens begged for additional security but the Benghazi bitch with the penchant of blaming you tube videos sat and watched while he was raped, murdered and drug thru the streets....I can regale the proletariat with figures concerning the amount of money his majesty and the Gluteas Queen who lost her Law License spend on their lavish vacations.....I'm able to articulate to the low information voter who "does" worship Nascar and UT Football about how this Chicago Community Organizer has shat the Gross National Debt up to 17 Trillion and NOBODY'S Health Insurance "WAS EVER"going to be reduced by $2500 and the Saul Alyinskyite has Rules for Radicals tatooed on his ass damn well knew it.....Besides that, my parents were married when I was born and I'm not qualified to be a democrat....

Hayjuz Crispo he's verbose, eh?
I vote Democrat because I can't stomach GOP social policy positions. I vote Democrat for president because I want a solid progressive majority on the Supreme Court of the United States. One more 2 term Presidency should do it.

By the way all this drama about Benghazi....dawg!!! Pu-leeze! Benghazi wasn't a diplomatic embassy. It was a CIA station. The personnel there, including "ambassador" Stevens knew where they were stationed and what it was. The CIA was resposible for security, not the State Department.

Oh my aching ass!!! Military rescue was scrambling and on the way and they were cancelled because Obamanation didn't want to ruin what he believed to be the perception that Al Queda was "on the ropes."
Two Navy Seals (not sure of the third, but he may have been a Seal also) responded and died because the Consulate was under attack and they couldn't sit back and solidify Obama's legacy while their fellow Americans needed help.
If Chris Stevens had been named Bergdahl, they would have gotten help....
