That said I am upset off that the commission has not followed up on any of their recommendations. It really makes it look like all the naysayers were right in that the goose was already cooked before the commission ever met.
I will not vote for him again. As a life long republican I'm starting to wonder where are the people who stand for me. I don't see anyone in either party. We need to make our vote's count. mine won't be for Sununu I'm just not sure if there are any sportsman friendly candidates.
I rarely vote party line unless I want to send a message to a particular party, which I will do this fall. I usually do my homework and vote for whoever I feel suits my interests and the people. Some real humdingers squeak in just because people vote party line. And some people are too lazy to do their homework.
This thread is doomed I fear.....But, I can attest that you can do a lot of “homework” and still come to the conclusion of voting along party lines. I am a registered independent. I have voted in primaries of both sides for gubernatorial, and presidential elections. Even after lots of work sometimes it’s hard to justify against voting along “party lines”.
You can register as an independent in your state? We don't register as anything here in my state. They just ask us if we are voting democrats or republican in the primary and we have to vote one party or the other. Then in the fall we can vote for all parties at once. But I consider myself an independent voter because I don't usually vote along party lines in the fall. We had a democrat county official here that wanted to dredge straight all the streams and a major river. Allegedly the republicans get pointed to for that kind of attitude. Not true in his case. You can't always tell by party affiliation.
NH is quite unique in our processes’ for voting, and primaries. I am a registered independent, and I can register for either primary, and then re-register as an independent in a matter of minutes when I go to vote.Other states make this very tedious to do, and most people don’t/can’t do it like we can. It allows you to cast a “meaningful” vote in a presidential primary regardless of party affiliation essentially. It’s one of many reasons why the NH pres primary is considered a good forecast for the larger general election where everyone can vote for either party regardless of what they are registered as.
This state has been Democratically controlled for years with NOTHING getting done... why the outrage now???
