[Just another Joe]

You must remember - candidates lie to get votes.

I understand that completely.
Please do not talk to me like I am some political novice that doesn't know what he's doing.

Before I vote for ANYONE I check their voting record, or backround if they haven't been in politics before, to see how they ACTED, not talked.

I don't need Rush to tell me what I need to know. He's a great source of information but he's not my guiding light.

There is a difference between Republican and conservative, and a difference between Democrat and liberal.
Until people understand that the parties will change nothing because the "party faithful" will continue to vote a straight ticket.

There are good and bad people on either side.

There is a difference between Republican and conservative, and a difference between Democrat and liberal.

At one time, perhaps.

Regarding Dems...don't think that holds true today.

Virtually every democrat I know is straight liberal.

Name a "good" Dem and you can't use Zell Miller, he's gone and you can't you Joe LIEberman, because he stinks!
