To "Anonymous 10:20 PM": Are you serious? You're clearly very ignorant. Also, which ever party Lauren is voting for doesn't mean you should dismiss her as a person.

Neither Lauren nor Heidi appear to have an original thought in their heads, so it's no surprise that they'd be Republicans. I used to live in Pebble Beach and every one of my high school friends was "Republican" (or at least said they were in our teacher's straw poll. Obviously they weren't registered to vote yet). They didn't know what that meant, but they knew they were supposed to hate Democrats.

And I have to laugh at the comment from 7:50 that Republicans are the party of personal responsibility. Oh. My. God. Who's taking responsibility for the disaster in Iraq? The inept response to Hurricane Katrina? What "nanny" government bailed out Bear Stearns? Do you not even see the bald hypocrisy?

I'm sorry, but I am so very sick of conservatives (it's the cumulative effect of the past several years) I can barely contain my contempt for them anymore.

Barack was raised compltetly by his white Mother and for one year by his white grandparents...I find it utterly ignorant and balantly racist that anyone could ever call him a racist. He met his black father once...educate yourselves rather then believing racist hype...a black(and white) man raised and adored by his white family running this country..that would be exactly what we would need to cure the ignorance that should be an embarrasment for all.

Lauren: you, Lauren Bosworth and Kristin Callvari look exactly alike. I think you need to focus on your independent look rather then politics-seeing as though your barely 18!

NOOOOOOOOOO! I love Lauren. If she's a republican then I will lose most of my respect for her. Although it does come as no surprise.....has anyone from Orange County ever voted democrat??

Relpying to the 8:02 AM post by Anoymous:

I have never been more disgusted by a statement regarding the current political candidates then the one you purport below. For you to claim McCain is unfit to be president because he was a tortured POW is reprehensible. He is the ONLY candidate that has put his LIFE on the line for THIS COUNTRY. For this reason, if anything, he is the ONLY one that is deserving of the honor that it is to be the leader of our great nation. He has clearly shown himself to be a great later that has not made rash decisions while he has been in positions of political power. If the only thing people can mock Mccain for is his age (SNL, you really got to try harder) and his loyal service to our country, he is a shoe in for this presidency.

Anonymous, You are an ungrateful traitor to bash an American hero that gave up a portion of his freedom to protect our country.

John McCain was a tortured POW subject to mental and physical abuse. That kind of treatment has got to cause psychological damage. Former conservative Republican Senator Rick Santorum says that McCain lacks the temperment and is unfit to be President.

Do you trust McCain and his bad temper with the nuclear trigger?

I grew up educated, with 2 good parents and I am most certainly not a republican. I believe you should vote for who you want, who you believe will do the best job as President. I do not believe we should all be bashing each other- isn't this country divided enough? I just don't know why people make such generalized, blanket statements, and think people will be swayed by their opinions. I do know it is easy to assume things and say things about the candidate I am not rooting for, but all that's going to do is get people riled up even more. Again, the country is divided enough. I can say this- we will be in better shape after January 20, 2009. :)

According to Heidi, John McCain is "awesome." Brody claims Obama is "cool." Can you imagine these Hills kids have a political debate? "Well, my awesome beats your cool!" Hey, you dilusional people, the Repulicans are FOR the rich. I won't get into my political tirades, because it'll take too long for me, but maybe YOU should check yourself first. America has gone down the drain since Bush has taken over, it's time we have a Democrat be in office. Whoever gets in office will still be the wrong choice, all the candidates are wrong choices, in my opinion. I also think Obama is a racist.

Us, why would you assume that because someone is a Republican, they will vote for John McCain? Conservatives detest McCain and have abandoned him. I appreciate his military service back in the 70s, but he has a forked tongue. One day, he is cussing out his fellow party members, the next day he is pretending to oppose Democratic plans for the economy, and the next, he is talking like a populist. He needs to figure out who he is.

If the DNC nominates Obama, they are idiots and deserve to lose. Hillary now has a 9-point lead over McCain in the national popular vote, but more importantly, she can take the critical electoral college states from McCain which Obama cannot. Obama has too many skeletons in his closet, and if we go to war with Iran, the center will seek safety in McCain.

Be jealous, 6:23. It's NOT always the ones who are rich and educated who are Republicans so don't even pull the poverty card. FYI, California is a DEMOCRATIC state so it's nice to see that there are at least a few Repubs there! Check yourself before you go make yourself look stupid again.

When I said, "Leave the girl alone about this" i meant that why is it important who she votes or voted for. If she wants to say who she voted for she will. also, is it not a stereotype to say that in upper class society of laguna beach people would be republican. It really doesn't matter. If people would actually vote maybe the president would represent everyone wishes and not just the 20% that care.

yeah, funny how the ones who grew up educated with good parents and good home lives are republican. go figure...

I don't no why this is "news" I just wish people wouldn't care so much about who they support.

Really shocking that a rich white girl who grew up in uber-conservative Laguna Beach would be a Republican.

does it really matter who supports who? Usually it just gets their fans upset. Leave the girl alone about this, she said that she believes in private ballot. I am ok with that. Even if she supports a democrat. I really don't care.
