Do you tell??

Good idea!!

See and I agree with your parents. People of the older generation still don't tell. I just hear my grandfathers words "we don't tell that". He explained why and I won't go into it here but I agree with him. Don't ask don't tell.

My husband and I talk politics we talk pros and cons of each person. We talk about why this one AND that one would be good or bad but the final decision is kept to ourselves.

Well, we have talked a lot about the election and how we feel about each candidate and their policies. When you're undecided, it helps to talk to someone about it. Who better than your best friend?... my husband (or wife, in his case). Now, this works out for us because we are capable of having a discussion or debate about something without insulting each other, getting upset, or starting an argument. This is one of the things I love about our relationship. I wouldn't have that discussion with just anyone because I know how quick people are to judge you based on your choice of political candidate. Me and my husband talk about everything, including politics. It may not work for some couples, but it works for us. We're not trying to force each other to vote for a certain person, but we are discussing choices and talking about the pros and cons of each candidate.

To each there own I guess ... More people seem to tell then not. I have found that people either tell every one in the world as loud as they can OR they WON'T tell a soul!! There is no inbetween its one or the other!

mean if you believe in someone strongly enough to vote for them, to me, i don't have a problem telling someone if they ask. and i respect those who choose to keep their vote to themselves.

Like I said I don't tell who I am going to vote for but I'll talk all the pros and cons. I'm proud of my choice too BUT I think its for me no one else.

And, yes....bumper stickers, yard signs, the whole thing. You betcha.

I know that I walk away from political disussions more then stay. There are only a few people that I will talk politics with and even they don't know who I am going to vote for!!

It's really up to individual, I guess. The worst is when people try to force their politics down your throat, or to push you into telling them whom you prefer. I really like the private ballot system, I must say.

Hey spalladino that is the spirit of Election. I am telling you I love it when the campaign starts, you and your family get to josh over things without being disrespectful. I can just imagine what you just describe and I am

Folks down here have respect for each other, kerriann...before, during and after an election year. The problem with online discussion boards and campaign rallies is that "the opposition" loses it's humanity so it's okay, in some people's minds to treat anyone who disagrees with them like garbage.

Well its good that your signs are staying put!! I guess every one is different in telling or not telling and there reasons for why. I just always remember my great grandfather saying "we don't tell" when I tried to talk politics with him when I was too young to know even what "politics" was. I remember his words. "we don't tell you never know who your telling" Like I said it was different then. A lot of things were private that aren't now.

I agree - I do like to hear peopls point of view for a few reasons one being maybe they seen or heard some thing I didn't. I will talk pros and cons all day long but ultimatly who I vote for is mine to know!

I don't know why but I don't get any (from either side) phone calls, knocks at the door, or even mail and I am NOT complaining about that!!! I don't ever bring up politics but if it is brought up to me I will talk about things just not who I am going to vote for.

LOL !!! Thats all I can say !!!

In this election I have talked politics with more people then ever. I have heard a lot of pros and cons of each and I have voiced my pros and cons on each but who I am ultimatly going to vote for - thats for me to know and no one to find out.

I'm not talking just about on here I'm talking about in every day life with your parents or friends coworkers anyone? I will talk about things BUT I won't say who I am ultimately going to vote for to ANY one! PS I rated you a plus

Oh dear you had the rath of Anna too!!! I got a phone call JUST to ask me who I was voting for. I wouldn't tell her she was SOOO very mad!!! I talked about a few things with her and she thinks she knows who I am voting for but she doesn't. Anyway I can see Uncle being all for the law sign especially in this election!

I totally agree with you!!! No matter what some one will always be offended EVEN if you are all voting the same!

My husband and I don't talk about it becuase often we don't agree so we decided that we would talk pros and cons but thats it!!

Well for my young age I am very old about my polticial views. I belive that its some thing you should keep to your self. But to each there own! More power to you!!

I have found that in politics you feel one way or the other once you make your choice there is no changing your mind so instead of having some one try to change my mind I just don't say but I will talk about pros and cons. Just because some one may have seen or heard some thing I didn't.

Very smart of you. I know a few people that I can't talk ANYTHING politics with. All I say is I agree to disagree or I'll say well thats your opinion. Thanks for the response!!

I don't agree that politics is just a game nor do I agree that you shouldn't take it serious. Politics are VERY serious. Choising the right president can make or break the country. But thank you for your response and opinion.

I agree I would never tell some one they HAVE to vote for one or the other. That is why I will talk about the different ways of each person but not who I am ultimatly going to vote for.

I don't think there is any reason for any one to know who you are voting for either.
