I am just curious which party are you belonging to?
The Republican party? or the Democratic Party? or something else?
I am not certain who I am with.
What do you see me as? and would you please help me determine where I stand?
Thank you a lot.
First and foremost Democrats are what is termed Liberal: “A person of despicable character who displays their hatred for freedom by demanding that accused terrorists have the right to a trial, who demonstrates their disgust for democracy by demanding that electronic voting machines produce paper trails, who shows their contempt for U.S. soldiers by demanding that they come home safe, who flaunts their scorn for working-class Americans by demanding higher wages and affordable healthcare, and who exhibits their utter disdain for the teachings of Jesus Christ by tirelessly screaming about "peace" and "nonviolence".
Liberals have been amazingly adept at maintaining their oppression of our society, despite the fact that conservative Republicans control the executive branch, Congress, the judiciary, the majority of state governments, corporate America, our financial institutions, and the media corporations. For this reason, all undesirable aspects of our society are to be blamed on Liberals, and not the people who write our laws, set government policy, interpret the law, lead and control our economy, and give us our news.”
Now Democrats who are not necessary liberals: “Complain about such harmless issues as poverty, environmental destruction, job loss, education, and healthcare, while failing to address the primary concerns of Americans everywhere that they could be killed any second by a terrorist, or even worse, that two men somewhere may want to get married.”
I classify myself as a liberatarian for now...but given that rarely a presidential canditate from that party ever makes it...I tend to go with whoever seems less ignorant...

Have you EVER gotten to vote???????
I believe in personal responsibility. Guess that makes me a libertarian, but certain people on this board (excon) seem to think I'm a republi-tard.
I am between a Republican and a Reformed Party person and throw in Independent while you are at it. I have been known to vote for a conservative Democrat.

Hi NSG-
Some states do not require that you register with a particular party, some do. Twenty years ago plus people would vote a straight ticket. In other words, for the candidates on the ballot office races that belong to one specific party. However things have changed. Many people now will vote whom they like no matter the candidates party affiliation. For the most part currently a moderate Republican and a conservative Democrat are going to have a fair amount of similarities. I was originally registered as a Democrat decades ago. Now I consider myself an Independent, but vote whom I like, regardless of party.
I think you should not pigeon hole yourself into being behind a particular party. What a party supports today can be the opposition in only a few years. My advice is to think about the issues that mean most to you currently and see which candidates match up closest. Use the Internet to research all candidates, including the Independents. And if you're set choosing between the two major parties only, then listen to the National debates so that it will help you understand how a particular candidate stands on the issues.

I'll second this, and add that I think it's a mistake to vote based on who you think will win. For example, people are often discouraged from voting for third-party candidates to avoid "taking votes away" from their second-choice major-party candidate, thereby allowing their last-choice other major-party candidate to win. Well, who wins is only the second-most important thing about an election. The most important thing is that it conveys accurate information about people's preferences to politicians and political parties. If you vote for your second-choice instead of your first, you are misrepresenting your true preference. Believe me, if one of the major parties loses an election because of a challenge by a third-party candidate, they will scour those election returns with a fine-toothed comb, precinct by precinct, to see where that support was, and how strong it was, so that next time they can try to field a candidate that can attract those disenchanted voters back into their column. The important thing is to cast your vote in the direction you think the country should go in the future, even if the majority of people aren't ready to go there yet.
I voted for John Anderson in the 1980 presidential election, and I'm not sorry, even though I am sorry that Reagan won. So you can see how out-of-step with the mood of the electorate I was. I didn't vote for Ross Perot in 1992 or 1996 because I thought he was an arrogant little fart who didn't have a clue about how government actually works. He kept talking about getting "under the hood" to fix what was wrong with it.
