People may stick with their party lines, but they do vote for different people during primaries and they do go out to vote or stay home based on who is running, why they are running, and what has been going on recently.
With that said. Have you ever voted for someone outside of your "favored" political party?

I'm a independent that in the past might have voted Republican, but thanks to Bush's 8 years, I have really grown to despise what the Republican party has turned into. In the past I'd say that I would likely vote for whom I liked better, despite the party, but now days unfortunately I feel that I'm locked into having to vote Democrat just to counter the stupidity on the Right.
I wont say Democrats don't have their own issues, but they tend to not screw up the country as much as the Republicans do or at the very least, cater to my interests a bit more.
The tea party IMO aren't even a party worth mentioning as they are just meat puppets of the Right pretending to be something different.
The only solution I see to the problems in this country's political system would be term limits for everything.
