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.”

The Republican Dictionary

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?? :D

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.

Conservatism stands for Honor and Integrity.

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.

Conservatism stands for the Persecuted and oppressed religious minority. http://www.republicandictionary.com/...s-minority.jpg

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.

Yep, be a swinging voter in a marginal area and you will see the benefits.

I quit the Democrats in 2002 after years of increasing dissatisfaction with the direction they were heading . I am now independent but am considering to register as a Republican so I can vote in their NY primary next year.

I am involved in local politics and am associated with regional political parties that do not have official registrations . These parties come and go as issues arise that need to be addressed . I have actively worked on the campaigns of local politicians and have helped many of them get elected . I have also served on local committees and boards .It is there that I think I can make my best contribution to my community .

I am a conservative, and I am registered as a Republican.

For all Dark Crow's talk about how liberals defend freedom and democracy, liberals are the ones who want to:

- take away your second amendment right to bear arms,

- take away your constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness by taxing anyone successful back into poverty,

- take away your liberty by deciding for you what is healthy (the trans-fat ban), when and where you can smoke (smoking bans), which doctors you should see (socialized medicine), what medicines and supplements you are entitled to use (expansion of FDA regulations), how much regulation your life should be under (everything from environmental legislation to OSHA regulation), and even what you can listen to on the radio (the fairness doctine and the so-called "campaign finance reform" laws).

- take away your religious freedom by eliminating any public religious displays.

Now... how do I see you? I see you as a moderate liberal to moderate conservative. Which is right where you should be at this point in your life. There is an old saying that anyone who is not a liberal when they are young has no heart and anyone who is not a conservative as they grow older has no brain. (I never had a heart.) You are at that point in your life where you have graduated from school, where liberal ideas were the norm, but are starting your professional career and are starting to figure out how the real world works and what your place in it is. Where you still in school, I would expect you to exhibit more liberal ideas. But you are getting a regular paycheck and have asked yourself the age-old question "Who is this FICA guy, and why is he taking all my money?" And that is starting to get you thinking about where your money goes and what the government does with it, and by extension how government works and how it affects your life. So, you are becoming more moderate than liberal in your view. I don't know what the future will bring for you, and whether you will become a conservative or will remain a moderate. That will depend on your experiences. But full-blown liberalism is probably out of the question for you, barring any really strange life experiences.

That's where I see you. Perhaps I am assuming too much, but that is the impression that I get of you.

I have known him since college,lol-accounting major.

You are so right about how you see me as... high five, ET;)

Hello spring girl:

I'm not a member of any political party. None of them would have me. Which is actually pretty cool, because I wouldn't have them FIRST.

I have a political philosophy that isn't matched by any party. So, instead of me finding a party I can join, I'm waiting for them to join me.

You?? You're a Republican. I can tell cause you don't have any tats.

excon

What does "tats" mean in English??

LOL, how do you know I don't have one? :D

(Edited) You are right, I am not planning on getting one either.

I live in one of the most Republican counties in America, so when I moved here I think I registered Republican so I could vote for different local candidates in the primaries... Republicans often run unopposed by Democrats.

On the national level, I don't vote Republican... this last and current Republican President proved to be a complete catastrophe in all ways. I believe when religion becomes politics, everyone loses. The country is horribly divided and there is no reason for all the hate. [Dividing the country was a Republican tactic to win national elections]

I want to be an independent voter, but I am listed as a republican. Hmmm, I think you may be a compassionate republican Nicegirl! Excon, I have a small tattoo... what is it that you were trying to say anyway? LOL
I also have to say it is hard here in Oregon, this is a crazy place, people live in trees for days just so no one will cut it down, we have a topless parade downtown Eugene, it is nuts here!
