Should I be a Demoplican or a Republicat? I just don't fit in!
59I hate writing about politics-I really do. I scan through the online political blogs and the comments they receive and find that so much of what is written is one-sided and hateful. Everyone is heated, everyone is judgemental, and everyone, of course, thinks that they are completely and 100 % correct in their beliefs. It is frustrating to read all the negativity. Everyone is so angry and the party lines are so thickly drawn in Sharpie Marker that one doesn't dare show bi-partisanship. It's always that you are with us or against us mentality. How will we ever get together as a country if we can't get along as individuals? Personally, I don't know where I fit in. I am a Christian so people say I should automatically vote Republican but I am also a humanitarian, so that makes me democrat too. I sort of just vote from my gut all the time. Many people say: "How can you vote that way?" I don't know-I guess I am too trusting or maybe naive. I just think it is the man (or woman) that makes a good candidate and not the party affiliation. I usually vote for the guy I like the best or hate the least. I am a woman without a party stuck walking atop a white picket fence balancing the best I can so I don not fall and be lanced by the sharp points below. So, what's a girl to do? I guess I can form my own political party- but should I call myself a Repulicat, or a Demoplican? Surely there have to be others like me who hate the extremist point of view. Feel the same way I do? Please add your name and a comment if you wish too the comments box below-I would love to know that I am not alone in my frustration! God Bless America and everyone in it. =)
Oh and Please no hate mail!!! I am just a girl that is trying to get along. I am in no way bashing any political partyâ€"merely stating the fact that I am a little bit Country and a little bit Rock and Roll.
Take my poll--STRICTLY FOR FUN!

Is that an invitation to be your vp or is that position already taken?
Just kidding--I would never be able to take the stress! I highly support your campaign though. =)
B.T. - If you do not consider CherylAnne or Shadesbreath, then how about Christopher Walken for VP?
OOh. I do like Walken. He was especially good in "The Prophecy".
I'm with ya CherylAnne...I hate party politics too. It's too bad we can't look at both sides...pick and choose from amongst them, making our own mix. Now wouldn't THAT be fun?
I am not Rebublican or Democrat or Independent. I just vote for the person. I have voted for Rebpublicans, Democrats and Independents. For me, it all depends on the person and what they stand for.
Walken would be a great choice. He'd be the first President to appear on Saturday Night Live and actually be funny! Plus he is such a cool dancer.
Oh, and I would love to have someone like Bono (from U2) as a candidate. He is such a great guy. He does so much for so many.
CherylAnne Nelson,
Don't get to frustrated with politics and all of the commentary that goes along with it. A large part of it is just a game. In America, you're not listened to, if you are not shouting (not literally, but figuratively).
Thanks for the hub,
sschilke
unfortunately you have a point there.
