Family Voting

No, my father hates both Bush and Kerry. He thinks he's voting for Nader but is wavering because of Camejo (my father hates communism too LOL). My brother doesn't vote. He feels it is a waste of time. My mother will end up voting for whoever her pastor tells her to vote for.

I am an independent who does not agree with the Republican platform on the environment but I'll be voting for President Bush this time.

My husband and I do not vote the same (And for that matter we avoid political discussions a lot of the time because I get so flustered)

However I vote the same as my family (parents and siblings) and he votes the same as his family (parents and siblings)

Politics is the one place where my husband and I do not agree... and that is mostly because he doesn't look at the issues; he just always votes republican... where as I am registered independant because I like to see who's side of the issues I like better.

my family vote republican

My family is generally Republican including myself. Family definitely has an affect on your political thinking especially when you are young.

My family is a mixed variety. My parents are republicans who are voting for Bush, along with my oldest brother. I have another voting-age brother and a sister. My brother is probably voting for Kerry, and my sister is probably voting for Bush, but I haven't asked. I am a libertarian who is voting for Michael Badnarik.

My family is pretty mixed. My father is a very conservative Christian who always votes Republican. My mother is an uber-Democrat. My brother is pretty much torn, but is swayed towards Kerry right now. I am a leftist, normally too left for Democrats but planning to vote for Kerry this time around. My dad's family is all very, very conservative folks, ultra Republicans. My mom's is wildly democratic and independent left.

Canada here, we have 3 choices (4 in quebec) my family always votes for one of the 2 liberal parties, never conservative.

Wow my family is a mixture....My wife and I are both conservative Republicans, All of my wife's side of the family are conservative republican and Texans so they all love Bush.
My mother votes Republican. (ALL middle class)

Now my dad's side is interesting mix (ALL upper class). My dad is so far left he decided to move to Thailand (but listens to Rush all the time and yells at the radio...pretty funny) His mom and sister are Democrats - sister/My Aunt votes Democrat (communist influence) My Gradfather, My dad's stepdad staunch republican and the my uncle and his wife are both Republicans....Family gatherings are quite the experience.

My mother and father are Republicans. My husband and all of his family are Democrats. I have never voted (this year will be the first time that I vote). I just started paying attention to politics a few months ago. Since then, I have formed strong opinions and I am a very liberal Democrat.

My husband is more on the conservative Democrat side of things. He hates that I speak up about my political beliefs. He thinks that politics should be kept to yourself. I feel that you should stand up for what you believe in or it's not worth believing in.

My Grandparent's on my Dad's side are Democrats. My Grandpa is a very Liberal Democrat. I'm not sure where my Grandma stands but I know she votes Democrat. I don't know how my Dad votes and I think he's relatively Independent. As far as I know, my Mom is Independent as well. I assume that my Grandparents on my Mom's side of the family are Republicans because they're pretty Conservative. I vote Democrat and consider myself to be Mainline.

I don't know for sure who is voting for whom, though I could probably make logical guesses it's really not my business.

My husband and I usually end up voting the same, because he asks for my advice a lot of times, especially on local candidates (I do as much research as possible into candidate's positions and voting records before I decide). I'm not sure how my parents will vote - dad was a pretty die-hard Republican, but he hates Bush. My father-in-law and I don't agree on anything in politics, so I try not to even discuss it (although he brings it up often). I was rasied around a lot of NC politicians, and one of the candidates who he thinks will "solve all the worlds problems" is someone I met a while back, while doing a government internship, and just personally can neither stand nor trust. Problem is f-in-law is one of those people who always "has" to be right, and wants to tell the whole family who to vote for and support. He went as far as sticking political bumper stickers on my husband's car a couple times (which my husband took off).
