Democrat, Republican, or Independent?

I am a registered Republican - my political beliefs are conservative, with liberal leanings on several issues.

I find that the older I get, the more conservative my views have become. When I registered to vote at 18, I didn't affiliate with any party. When I re-registered when we moved to NC, I went ahead and registered as a Republican so I could vote in the primaries. I try to base my votes on the candidates though, not the parties. My vote doesn't count though, I live in a liberal state, and I think 17 people in my town actually vote.

Republican but a disappointed one. I'd like to be in the Constitution party but no one there runs! Voting is tough because, even in my party, there are many that I don't vote for. The Dem's are considered liberals, but they won't let us "carry", nor will they let us ride motorcycles without helmets. The Repub's are called conservative but are really Rhino's. Both parties are giving this country away (and our jobs too!) for the sake of power & votes; legal or illegal. What can we really do? I feel so trapped and helpless at times! Check out the signature below this and take it seriously next year. Remember: protect our borders, language & culture and it was always God, guts & guns that made America strong! Let's fight as our ancestors did to keep it that way for our kids! AATTSS right!

This statement makes sense. As we get older, most of us mature. We tend to figure things out and become more conservative in our views. Then again, not everyone actually matures.

Because I am a woman and not a man, I didn't overanalyze the poll selections. I assumed that she meant "independent" as in not belonging to a particular political party.

Thank you for that.

Forgive me if I was misleading, MMDad. We all make mistakes.

I am a moderate conservative.

I enjoy pointing out how wrong the Boy Mayor is and the democrats that Infest Annapolis like blood sucking maggots.


This is my first political post on this board, so you may not know who the Boy Mayor is. The Boy Mayor a.k.a. Martin O'Malley. (that is as respectfull as I can be with that thing.)

If one is not registered with any political party, they're considered, “unaffiliated” with regards to voter registration.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

[awpitt]

You can do better than that. They not only have no candidates for office, they also have nobody seeking their nomination. They haven't even ever had a candidate for President.

You just threw that out there because you realized that "Independent Party" is not a real choice, but you refuse to admit you are wrong. This refusal is becoming a common theme in your posts.

Actually, they have had a presidential candidate. George Wallace was their candidate in 1968. He got 10 million votes and carried five states.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

I'm curious to see how many of the users on this forum consider themselves to be Republican, Democrats, Independent Party, or something else I didn't list.

Registered Democrat. Don’t remember ever voting a straight party slate though I might have once or twice. I vote based on the individual candidates; however, it’s safe to say that I’ve voted for more Democrats. As to where I “fall”, neither of the typical labels really apply to me as I fall to the right on some issues and to the left on others so I guess I’m moderate.

That would be the American Independent Party, not the Independent American Party. Those minor third parties seem like they choose names in order to confuse, don't they?

That's the American Independent Party - as opposed to the Independent American Party. And they have had a Presidential candidate EVERY year since Wallace.

They sure do and they got me.

I started out as a good Democrat as most natives of Southern Maryland do.

For me it was Bill Clinton that cured me. After his first election I re-registered as a Republican and never looked back. How that horndog shyster ,dope using,female molesting, draft dodging, lying bag of crap was ever elected to a high office I will never understand.

I cant believe the top running Democrat for President is his nasty wife.

If this is the best this country has to offer,its probably true we have outlasted our usefullness, and when they sell out our sovereignty to Global Government, Envirowhacko's , promote homosexuality in our schools, abortion, and Universal health care . We will probably deserve it.

As Geek has shown in her animal and gay posts, men don't have a monopoly on overanalyzing.

All those horndog shyster ,dope using,female molesting (or male molesting in Forestal's case) , draft dodging, lying bags of crap who read this thread are not going to like you. I, on the other hand, totally agree with you.

If the dems were smart , they would sweep Hillary under the rug and come up with someone else. I kinda want to see her on the general election ballot. That would give the Republican's the oval office for sure.

I have always registered as a republican. But during elections if I think a republican is an idiot or completely disagree with his thinking and previous actions, I will vote democratic or independent (which ever one I do agree with) on that part of the ticket.
Problem is when there's a toss up to who is more of an idiot then I leave it blank..
