They certainly do affect my voting decision along with a variety of other issues!.
Republicans will not get my vote because they are notorious for instituting deregulation policies in the nation's agribusiness as well as standing up for corporations over individuals or the public at large!. Ronald Reagan (Republican) started the Streamlined Inspection System that took most of the food safety inspectors out of the field!. This system called for the employees of slaughterhouses, meat packing facilities, or other food processing plants to regulate themselves instead of any authority looking over their work!. Since the Reagan Administration the food safety program has never fully recovered!. Clinton (Democrat) ended the "streamlining" but still there are gaps and holes left by the USDA under the Reagan Era!.
Quote by Barak Obama:
“I think how we treat our animals reflects how we treat each other!. And it’s very important that we have a president who is mindful of the cruelty that is perpetrated on animals!.”

No, my veganism does not determine who I vote for!. My stance on a wide variety of issues determines who I vote for, and my desire to minimize exploitation of animals and the planet is just one of them!.
I am a Democrat because I don't feel that the Republican party best represents my interests!. However, my boss, who is vegetarian, socially moderate and fiscally conservative, is voting for McCain!.

I would say that there are many traits in a person that tend to correlate in some way to political and religious tendencies!. In other words, being a democrat doesn't make you a vegetarian, and being a vegetarian doesn't make you a democrat, but you will see, statistically, far more vegetarians are democrats than republicans!. the reason is probably that a core set of fundamental character traits often find both a vegetarian diet and democratic party affiliation to be preferable!. So its not that one determines the other, but more that fundamental orientations, toward conservation of the earths resources lets say, or a strong emotional connection to the plight of others including animals, might lead a person to both democratic ideals and vegetarian diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I eat normally and in my lifetime I have voted Conservative, Labour & Liberal!. I'm what is considered a floating voter!.
