What Party Affiliation fits you best?
Do you consider yourself a Republican, Democrat, Independent or some other political affiliation? What one key factor of your chosen party is the most important to you and why?
Democrat, despite the fact that we are not a true Democracy, but a Republic. One thing that is important to me is freedom, although that seems to be in short supply these days.
Democrat = Big Government = less freedoms.......
YOUR EQUATION IS UNEQUAL AND DEFINITELY SLIGHTED BY YOUR REPUBLIC VIEW OOPS DID I MEAN TO SAY REPUBLICAN, LOL.
Independent. Because I don't think that labels apply to the way I look at the way people interact with one another. I like the freedom of being able to chose a candidate for office because of who she or he is, not the party affiliation.
Getting Along - You too sound very wise - thank you for answering.
None, so I'm now a registered Independent. I don't believe in partisan politics and we should do away with them. They make us more divided as a people with clouded judgement, as many people side with their party often choosing party loyalty over logic and reason. The more people think independently, the more people will focus on the true caliber of the candidates and less of a political game it will be.
You sound like a wise young man. Thank you for answering.
At the moment I'm an independent, but I strongly believe in bipartisanship - something unfortunately, both the Republicans and Democrats at the moment are not too good at. I do hope whoever is elected this November as the President would have the courage to reach across party lines and act in the country's interest. However, it doesn't appear that Romney would be able to pull it off, what with the conservative and Tea party agenda, and I'd thus vote for the Democrats.
With all due respect President Pbama has not been great at bipartisanship so I am curious as to why you would give him 4 more years? Do you feel as though President Obama has contributed to class warfare? I am truly interested in your opinion.
I did not say that Obama has been effective at bipartisanship-I do hope the next president is. But as I said, I'm not sure if Romney would be any better. No, Obama does not believe in class warfare - eliminating tax breaks for rich is not warfare.

Why does it have to be about party affiliation? Shouldn't our leaders join to help America's issues?I don't understand why it has to be finger pointing from each side of the aisle. I think both the Dems and the Repubs are at fault. I wish that they could come together and make decisions for America...

Forget about your party affiliation for a minute and consider your upbringing, and your present views, are you more conservative in your thinking, more liberal, and why? How does this effect your take on the current happenings in Washington. I came from a very strict back ground, I lean...

What would be the rational for voting for someone because of party affiliation? Are strategic party moves detrimental to the democratic process? Do we need political parties.

If Alexander Hamilton were alive today, would he be a Republican or a Democrat? Why?
