4. Yep.

Although I'd use equitable tax policy, but I agree that pushing parties is a mugs game these days. Pushing issues is probably better.

7. Against (or for) policies rather than parties or politicians.

If the politician or party matches your feelings about policies then support him/her.

11. There was a time when I voted for Republicans

people like Case (US Senator, NJ) or Rockefeller.... but those days are long gone. I vote for/against a candidate based on his/her voting record- my US Rep (repug) is pretty low on that score

12. Nope. Though I can well imagine voting republican back in the 19th century.

I've never voted for a Republican and it's hard to imagine ever doing so. I have, however, voted Peace & Freedom and Green on several occasions when the nose-holding became too painful. A more common occurrence as the Democratic Party becomes ever more right wing.
