This one should get interesting.....
What is your opinion regarding the political theory of "Party Trumps Person" (i.e. voting along party lines).
I have found that most people that claim to vote the person not the party, still vote along party lines, they just won't admit it.
And, as polarized as things are today, this is probably gaining ground.
i.e. Seems the biggest reason to vote for Kerry is to get Bush out of office. This is an example of party trumping person.
Oh yeah, I am going to tell you where I sit on this issue so you know where I am coming from (hard to make a case if the reader doesn't now your ideology)--I vote party lines and I have no problem admitting it.
I will give my side of the argument later in the thread, I am more curious for your HONEST opinion. Please be sure to check your facts, if you state any.
Here is an article on the subject:

Oh yeah....lastly....I am looking for your reasoning behind your argument, not a personal attack. I was honest enough to tell you where I stand in regards to the idea, please do the same. We can get a lot further in this discussion if we stay on topic, keep it civil and back up our claims.
Also, I wanted to add a poll to this. Can someone be nice enough to tell me how...thanks.
