Well the point of this is that both sides are back asswords, hince I personally do not "follow" either side. Following a political party is just stupid. Listen to the individual ideas, not who presents them.
Republicans are often too ignorant of others' beliefs and are geared towards theocracy, democrats are just as ignorant despite parading around as "open minded", their ideologies are centered around "political correctness" which is really nothing more than inverted biggotry. Neither side's followers generally look at the facts, they'll follow whatever the group does just to call themselves a liberal or a conservative.
People here in America often vote for stupid reasons to begin with. Like all the christians voting for bush because he was christian, or women will be voting for hillary clinton because she's female. Or I've even heard female voters for Gore vote for him because they thought he "looked cute". It shouldn't be about any of that s**t, voting SHOULD be on the candidates ideas and policies, not what gender, race, religion, etc they are, and not how popular they are. That doesn't mean a hill of beans, what matters is what they can do for my country. Right now we vote between Hitlers and Stalins, we seriously need a 3rd party candidate.
