Yes, The US is a republic, but, that really has nothing to do with the Republican Party's name. The Democratic party can trace its history back to Jefferson and the Democratic Republican Party. The modern day Republican Party only goes back to 1856 and John C. Fremont.
I apoligize, that last statement has nothing to do with the topic of the thread.
I vote across the board. It is the candidate that matters, not the party. I am a registered Democrat, but I have voted and will vote for Republicans in the future, if I am more closely aligned with their views.
I can't stand people who actually take the time to go to the polls and only pull the lever at the top. I appreciate the fact that they take the time to do their civic duty, but to me they show a lack of attention to the world around them.
