I say instead of voting for a party because they are that party, vote for the candidates you agree with most.
For example, there are several categories where I disagree with both Democrats and Republicans, but I am almost 100% in line with the Libertarians, so that's who I'm voting for.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is still consciously voting for evil, and in my opinion, unconscionable.
Unfortunately, I'm more concerned with the Republicans controlling everything. I don't like to play party politics, you know it, but they can NOT continue at their current rate.
At the same time, if the Democrats gain power, they will raise taxes back where they were before Bush, they will attempt with all their influence and power to withdraw from Iraq (which we CAN'T do, or everything will have been a waste) and they will attempt to impeach Bush, not because they think he's terrible, or because Bush has done anything illegal, but because Clinton was impeached, and he (for reasons beyond me) was their God.
The Democrats will ruin this country if they are allowed to.
I agree with you about the party politics thing. But regardless of the party, people should vote for the candidate they agree with, regardless of party.
I'm just here to troll that we won and thank god for that.
Noteably, I'd like to point out that in all of the Democrat Senate/Governor/House race victory speeches which I've seen today (which is quite a few) they're all calling for more working on issues and less name-calling. I think if there's one thing the Democrats can have party unity on, it's that. Finally, the 12 year reign is over and Newt Gingrich's legacy of political hate and deceipt might finally be overturned.

*shrug* I hope it's not true. But that's what some have said.
