Were I going to vote straight party, I would still vote for each individual's name rather than simply the straight party box. I don't trust that it would actually count my vote correctly.

Same here.

I vote for each individual. It usually comes out straight party, but I like to check each person's name individually.

I thought Dan Boren was one of us? Hell, the NRA is all for him. :ugh2:
Don't believe everything that the NRA spoons out. Boren may be somewhat 2nd Amendment friendly, but not completely. Also, his negatives FARRRRRR outweigh any redeeming qualities he may have.

Boren voted for Pelosi to be in power, and voted:
YES on $192B additional anti-recession stimulus spending. (Jul 2009)
YES on additional $825 billion for economic recovery package. (Jan 2009)
YES on $15B bailout for GM and Chrysler. (Dec 2008)
YES on $60B stimulus package for jobs, infrastructure, & energy. (Sep 2008)
YES on $2 billion more for Cash for Clunkers program. (Jul 2009)
YES on making the PATRIOT Act permanent. (Dec 2005)
YES on Congressional pay raise. (Jun 2009)
NO on requiring photo ID for voting in federal elections. (Sep 2006)
YES on allowing electronic surveillance without a warrant. (Sep 2006)
YES on investigating Bush impeachment for lying about Iraq. (Jun 2008)

AND voted YES to adjourn EARLY TO AVOID VOTING ON EXTENDING THE BUSH TAX CUTS, in spite of overwhelming constituent pressure. :finger:

Charles Thompson is a veteran, wants to overhaul Obamacare, is strict on illegal immigration, wants to overhaul the tax code, and is a strict 2nd Amendment advocate.
