I have two comments: 1) The right spelling of victory is Sieg, not Seig; please display more respect for this fierce pagan call that pre-dates the Nazis. 2) This Sturmbannführer Schoep doesn't seem to be very fit. It makes me laugh when I see a brownshirt who is out of condition. Didn't hitler say national socialism wasn't for export?

I supported Bush over Kerry. I'm a registered Independent, though. I like Joseph Lieberman (Democrat) and John McCain (Republican). Both men have good character IMO. I wish that they would start a third political party. I'm wary of all of the partisan politics in American government. I doubt that there will be a successful third party because American voters are comfortable and familiar with the two-party system. BTW, both 2004 presidential candidates were members of Skull & Bones. <G> I like Joseph Lieberman (Democrat) you must have israeli citizenship too, huh?

I vote in national elections as well as local. I'm only twenty, so I have only been voting for almost two years. I was so excited to cast my first vote at eighteen, lol. I couldn't imagine 'sitting out' on the process. I'm a registered Republican (flame away), but I have voted for our local Conservative Party.

^I'm also a registered Independent as of now. I also like McCain. Even though I tend to identify more with the Democratic party as I stated, I would never let partisanship get in the way of supporting a candidate I thought was the right person for the job, be they Democrat, Republican, or anything else. I also agree that our two-party system pretty much...sucks lol. I identify more with Republicans, but I'm like you when it comes to placing more importance on the issue or the person than on the party. We agree about abortion. I'm very pro-life because I believe that life begins at conception. I have a live-and-let-live philosophy when it comes to homosexuality.

Fortunately there isn't a need to register as a voter here in Finland, or anywhere in Europe as far as I know.
I ultimately voted for the "right-wing" candidate yesterday, for the very first time in my life. This was also the first time I voted for a male candidate. But this really was the first time I voted in 6 years, because I've been abroad during the last General, European and Local Elections. I've become much more liberal when it comes to the economic issues since. It's likely I'll vote for the same right-wing party in General Elections too.
However, I could never think of voting for a social conservative. I'm still very much pro-choice (it's really not such an issue in Europe, anyway), separation of the church from the state (no prayers at public schools, for instance) and possibility for the gay couples to make their relationship official.

No, I just think that Joseph Lieberman is a good man. I value honesty and integrity more than ethnicity. I'm also against double standards in that bigotry against Christians is no less offensive than bigotry against Jews. Your preconceived notions about me are inaccurate.

I vote Democratic and very occasionally I vote for a Republican local candidate.

I am also pro-life (anti-abortion) and believe in a very tough stance against crime, but I vote Democratic because I disagree with most of the Republican stance.
