SERENITYSMECHANIC

I am proud to be an unclassified voter. I believe that the two major party system is one of the many flaws in how the US government works today. I mean, if some "third guy" comes into the race, this year Nader, both the Democrats and Republicans immediately start crying about so and so is messing up the process by taking votes away from my party. Sorry about my mini-rant, I do that a lot.

Another problem is the electoral college system. I know it was an original formation of the country but now it just fails to work. All politicians are in the mindset that only people in certain states are important. The way it works right now, not everyones votes is worth the same amount. The poor people that live in small states like Wyoming or Montana (not picking on ya'll) don't get as much say as the people of New York. I think that the system was set up with the intention of being a kind of proportion system where if Candidate A gets 60% of the vote, Candidate B gets 30%, and Candidate C gets the other 10%, then they get that proportion of the states electoral votes. The way it works now, if I get one more vote than you and the state has 13 electoral votes I get all 13. I think that if this happened, I should get 7, you should get 6.

Okay, if you read through that congrats.
If it didn't make since, sorry, I was typing on the fly.

Don't hate me for my views, no matter how out there they may be.

Lots of third parties here. I have been voting Republican, but I don't feel comfortable voting for someone who created the Homeland Security bill. I grew up with rabidly anti-Democratic parents, so I have a slight bias when I say I don't like Kerry either. I've always thought like a Libertarian, and I think that's where my vote will be going this November.

Libertarian here, but I'm not a purist when it comes to party affiliation. I put country above party. In 2000, I voted Libertarian, but will be voting mainly Republican in this election.

I find it a tad curious that there are so many 'liberals' who are also Firefly fans. Why? Well, as I use 'liberal', the definition I generally associate w/ that classification is one who is in favor for big gov't, universal health care,etc... which is pretty much direct contrast to what our fearless leader Captain Tightpants is fighting for..... his individual rights and the freedom to sink or swim on his own terms. Might not sound like much, but for some of us out here, it's enough.

I have been called a Conservative Democrat, at which, there is no room for me in this country. I cannot stand for anything that Republicans stand for so I am then labeled a Democrat.

Just shows how totally ignorant the whole political party system is in this country. As if you can fit a person totally into one hole or the other. The truth of the matter is that Republicans are Square shaped holes, Democrats are Triangle shaped holes and Americans (those with their own will) are Circle shaped pegs slightly bigger then either of the two holes.

I am also against Capitalism but that is for another post.

I have to agree with Shiny. when i think of big government, i think of people like the bush administration who stomp on our rights and give tax cuts to the rich.

myself, even as a liberal, if i were to be on serenity, i would have a gun. because it is a totally different circumstance in than in the united states. Here, we dont need guns to protect ourselves day by day. i dont agree with taking away the right to own a gun, but in our society, there are enough screwed up people, that i think people can take the time to go through precautions when they do buy a gun.

Never said the GOP was perfect, which kinda points to why I vote Libertarian more often than not. But despite the things you listed, the GOP is a far better choice than the Big Gov't , socialist over in the Dem party. Both have their drawbacks, but one the big scale of intrusion and trying to control one's life, the Democrats far out weigh what the GOP has done.

Personally, I think its interesting how many people with Libertarian tendancies enjoy this show. The Firefly verse and our BDH's kinda lead a very Libertarian, close to Anarchaic even, lifestyle, despite the large governmental force of the Aliance.

Random thoughts aside, mainly I'm motivated by the fiscal, and letting me keep my money in the first place seems like a better plan than redistributing it to me later, so I typically vote for Republican, with Libertarian leanings whenever they're helpful in making decisions.

And that was my 2 cents.

I think it unlikely that Bush, or anyone, would delay the elections, even if there were multiple attacks like in Spain. But you can see the cluster that could occur if some areas didn't get to vote , and the rest of the country did. How unfair would that be ? Pretty damn unfair. If there is a situation that calls for any delay, don't you think it best to have some sort of framework in place before ? Can't you see the flip side of this issue.... NO plans are made, something happens, and various groups bitch and moan about how incompitent the President is, in this age of terror, to NOT have some sort of back up plan.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Sucks both ways. Welcome to the age of the 21st century lawyer.

Yes, there should be a backup plan. No, it should not be created in 100% secrecy, with little to no input into the process from the public and/or their elected representatives on both sides of the aisle. Not everything is a national security issue, and hiding too much can often make things worse instead of better because if they roll out a "surprise" new process in the wake of an attack, how are people supposed to feel calm and confident in the rule of law? Certain military and logistical response DETAILS may need to be kept vague, but the general plan should be publicized and DEBATED IN PUBLIC, so there is confidence in the process. This means consensus building, and I would be very pleasantly surprised if those currently running the administration, homeland security department, justice department, CIA, FBI, and other important government agencies will be able to pull it off in an effective, sufficiently transparent, and confidence-building way.

The "real" browncoats, the ones in the Firefly verse, were a unified political/military force. What platform did they support? Limited government? Freedom? Gun rights? Social liberties? Were they libertarian? Anarchist? Could a "Brown Party" of browncoats (Firefly fans) support the same?

I am a registered independent. I used to vote all over the board. I use to see good points made by both parties, and I would vote on a candidate based upon how close their views on each side of an issue matched mine. Recently I've been disapointed in the republican party. Lately, I haven't seen them practicing many of the values that they have traditionaly believed in. Though I don't think this is true of all republican representatives. I feel it is true of the current administration. This is just an opinion based on what I HAVE SEEN over the last few years so please don't ask me to site and explain. It is just an opinion.

As a Libertarian (NOT a Republican) I would be totally opposed to the president even suggesting that we delay our elections. I wouldn't put it past ol' W though. He is supporting an amendment to the Constitution that defines (restricts) marriage.

I think that we, as American citizens, need to ensure that we do not let what happened in Spain, happen in the U.S. Terrorists killed a lot of Spaniards just before their election, and no one can argue that it didn't influence the outcome. That is an example of terrorists winning.

We are, and will remain, vulnerable to terrorist attacks, regardless of who is president. I am going to vote my conscience this election, Hopefully in November.

I saw a great bumper sticker last week:
"Vote Republican - It's easier than thinking."

I've always voted a mixed bag. Whoever I trust the most (these days, distrust the least) gets my vote.

I voted Republican in my first three presidential elections ... then I noticed that working class folks kept getting trickled on instead of trickled down. Looking back, Reagan's Alzheimers was kicking in about 3 years into his first term. Bush the Elder received my vote once.

I voted for Clinton twice - even though I thought the wrong Clinton was running.

I voted against Bush the Lesser and will again. I distrust the weasly bastard and all his weasly lying oil baron masters. (Can you say simpleton puppet on a string? I knew you could.)

I will continue to vote for whomever I distrust the least.

Independent

Obviously, the US's limited one-party-posing-as-two-party system fails me daily.

If Americans ever decide to call it like it is, both parties would put "Big Business" before their respective names (ie, the Big Business Republican party and the Big Business Democratic party). Either that, or one of the two main US parties would have to remove its collective mouth from the corporate teat.
