It happens.  There are liberal and conservative democrats.  Liberal and
conservative republicans.  In the center of that range, there are republicans
that are more liberal than some democrats.

I try to differentiate between who stands for what and make an informed
choice.  If I was in a rush, I might tend to simply check "republican" and
turn in my ballot.  But I actually never do this, as there are lots of good
democrats running for office.  And they get my vote...

Not all democrats believe in big government.  Not all republicans believe in
small government.  Which is our problem to determine.
