TRue! It's almost as STUPID as voting party wide on election day!

I can't stand it when people just go into the booth and vote straight ticket, no matter which party it is. I say this because most people who do that think "The Democrats/Republicans are always right, so I'll vote for all of them." That is terribly irresponsible, they really have no clue why they're voting for a certain person. Honestly, I think some people would vote for an axe murderer if he belonged to the particular party that they like.

Ideally, voters should study each candidate in a race, then vote for the best person, regardless of party affiliation. I doubt there are many elections where the best candidate is always from the same party.
