Could/would you change your political side?

While not discussing either side here. This is not a discussion of politics or policies. Just a question about how much of a waste of time and money these politicians are throwing around. And I suspect it is a waste of money at this point. Could either side say or do anything that would/could cause you to change who you already think you are going to vote for? Is it possible that you might vote for the party you are not currently registered with?

This is a great idea for a thread (assuming folks can keep it on track

I don't think I could be swayed to change. There's so little truth that's said anyway in most campaigning and so few policies that survive a term in office.

I say pick the colour you like the best and run with it

Right now I feel that I'm in the right boat and until I see otherwise I'll stick with it. Althought to be honest, I wish I had watched more of the campaign but working, school, and practicing cut into it.

I can, have, and most likely will in the future change sides. As far as I am concerned, parties are a load of crap. Vote the issues, not color affiliations. Having said that, I agree that all this campaigning is a waste of time. Once the basic positions have been established, all the extra bickering just makes them all look worse.

I vote based on what will affect me, and my family positively in a socioeconomic way. When I was younger I voted wholly with one party, and somewhere along the lines I switched as my needs/wants grew in a different area. I would not be willing to change at this point, as I don't think the 2 parties are very close in what they are offering/trying to do.

In all reality though, all politicians suck and have an agenda that is in their best interest to get reelected, and not necessarily what is best for our people. It is their job, and people do what they can to keep their jobs.

Well put.

I agree with "change" 90 percent of the time.

All politicians are full of **** and thus do not deserve my vote. If one day there is one who actually tells it like it really is, I will be the first person in line to vote. Until then they can all kiss my…..

Ok, you asked for it. I like how some canidates for high office say they are going to do this, than, and none of the other stuff. News flash folks the Pres can't make law with the exception of Exec Orders and most folks are dumb enough that they don't know how the process works so they believe the **** we are fed. So the ******** in office has to go through congress and I could go on for hours about our congress and the ****s there.

Any other questions?

it make no diffrence, its a puppet show, the only thing missing is someone shouting out, "its behind you!" giving people the illusion of choice when there is clearly none. any speakers of truth are marganalised and ignored by the media unless to further the crack down on free speech. HR 1955? Bilderberg? Skull and bones?

When I was told about bilderberg and skull and Bones I told the guy he was a mental patient/tin foil job. boy was I ever wrong, and the more you read, the more you want to vomit! If these names arnt familiur to you check them out, santa and the easter bunny will die all over again. But you wont here or read a word about these secret societys or there members in the mainstream news.

Peace and good hapiness stuff.

Would it matter if I did?

I have no faith at all in any politician, from any party, ever. Some may be better at their job than others, but they are all full of sh1t.

Rock on!

Anyone who votes strictly down party lines is a tool. Although Im not really sure what good voting for a president does. I already know that Illinois is going to go to OBAMA!!!!, even though personally I'd rather bang Rosie O'Donnell with the lights on than see him in any office.

I've never voted and I dont see myself starting anytime soon.
