I couldn't agree more with Rick. I am a complete supporter of individual sovereignty. As long as it does not harm someone else or violate their rights, I don't see a problem with it. I am rather socially liberal, but fiscally conservative. However, I try and look at the issues, and think logically and critically, then make my decision. I certainly don't vote a straight Republican or Democrat ticket, I make up my own mind and vote accordingly.

I think that the best way to make an informed decision is to educate yourself as best as possible on both sides and make the best judgment that you can on your own. If you are easily influenced and have no capability of standing your ground then politics just aren't for you.
