Some people on this forum marvel that anyone votes against their interest. Personally, I marvel that more people don't. If the true goal of your life is to put others first, and to support your country of your party, you should always be willing to vote against your interests. Not voting against your personal interests in the pursuit of a better life for everyone is the sign of a selfish person, not a healthy, well adjusted, individual.
I have a similar outlook although I don't call it voting against my interests. I feel that I might vote for Obama this time around mostly due to to the issue of women's rights and other social issues. I'm at the point due to my age that I personally don't need to worry about birth control, abortion, equal pay, etc. but I do care about those things for future generations of women.
