Bill, my family (Mom, dad, brothers and sisters) are all democratic. I was a rebel so I registered independent but couldn't vote in the primary. Then I registered Libertarian until I had a daughter with Down Syndrome and realized that according to the Libertarian philosophy, society has no responsibility to protect her. Then I went independent again but again couldn't vote in the primary so I decided to register Republican because I hate the media polls and I wanted to be a "contrarian" to baffle pundants who think Republicans think a certain way. I have not voted for a republican presidential candidate since my daughter was born in 1985. Come to think of it, I haven't voted for a democratic candidate either. Ralph Nader doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell but I will vote for him for the very reasons expressed here on this thread. He understands when, how and why our economy was hijacked by unbridled greed unleashed by a congress bought and sold by the greed merchants.
