How politically partisan are you?

[giblets]

I think we can pretty well figure out how partisan gribbler is based on that post.

Yes. I think raising your taxes is the greatest evil imaginable.

My income tax rate was higher during the Bush administration than Obama. Strange.

Not sure why that is.

Probably because you hilariously quit your job and took a lower-paying one

Not true. I was making more in the latter job. I posted my tax return information in a thread because Asher asked for it and it showed that I paid less when I made more.

I voted for Republicans and Democrats in 2000.

I dislike both parties, I usually end up voting Democrat though because the Republicans going for election are crazy.

Despite Ron Paul being crazy, I might vote for him as a 'change'.

I would probably vote for Gary Johnson.

Level of Government makes a huge difference. Local and State, I will now generally vote Democrat. Federal will now usually be Republican.

Let me guess--you don't like that Scott Walker and the Wisconsin GOP took away your collective bargaining?

[Hauldren Collider]

Okay, so they hate gays, want to throw marijuana smokers in prisons with the rapists and murderers and keep brown-skinned people in poverty... but at least they won't raise your taxes!

By the way, it was largely the immigration issue that motivated me to vote for several democrats in the recent state & local elections. Most of these issues are state-level, hence my slightly less partisan ticket at lower levels of government.

Not very anymore.

Not much. Used to be though, very much "straight down the line" Republican - then again a New Jersey Republican is a far different animal than a national Republican (Governor Christie would likely be a Democrat down here in Georgia).

Partisan 0. I am a classic swinging voter and I vote differently depending on the level of government the vote is for.

Ditto.

Being highly partisan is retarded.

Both political parties are dead to me. Honest discourse, actual compromise, and developing insightful solutions to complex problems simply don't happen. The US political process has devolved into an endless parade of pandering soundbites and corporate-driven legislation that is much more about economics and empire-building than it is service to "we the people." And with the advent of corporate personhood, it can only get worse.

Since virtually all national politicians are corrupt, the only logical solution is to vote whoever is in office, out of office. That's been my go-to decision driver in voting for many years now. Locally, I manage to remain issue-driven. Or at least I try. But even at that level, a healthy dose of cynicism and distrust is imho called for.

Cranky as ever, -Jrabbit

Personally, I think you are misunderstanding the idea of corporate personhood, but whatever.

That there pun game is vicious.

Honestly, I'm a halberd; I may be edgy sometimes, but I always turn out to have a point at the end.

[Hauldren Collider]

So you're also like a saber.

Are you calling me swishy?
