Democrat or Republican?

hi:) I'm sorry I can be any help because for me it's neither. political parties defeat the purpose of a democracy I think every politician should be Non-Partisan with their agendas favoring the constitution and the people. More likely , politicians should be volunteers, and I think best if they should not be paid for being in the office.anyway that's what they're saying in campaigns right?, that they're there for the people.

I used to be a Democrat. After my research, I concluded that Republicans and Democrats are people from the same group. They just see us like toys to around with. I don't go by what politicians say anymore. I did not even vote for Obama. I won't be taking part in voting anymore ever. I am done with politics. Now I just prefer to do my own things without giving much thought to what they say or do.

I say get rid of the party system because it's just causing more problems than it solves. I think that our government would be far better off without the two party system. There is no bipartisanship on Capital Hill right now, and look at how much our country suffers for it. We are forced to accept things that we don't like just so that the politicians can get ahead and that isn't right. I don't care what party you are in, if something isn't right, and there is an injustice somewhere, then it better be corrected.

I am actually neither. I research all available candidates and choose the one that I think is best for the job and agrees with the largest portions of my values. If more people would think this way instead of simply voting party then our country would (at least in my opinion) be far better off in the long run. I just wish that we would get some solid candidates running that actual cared about our country. Maybe then we could actually vote for a solid candidate instead of voting for the lesser of two evils.

Proud, flag waving, card carrying, Libertarian party member. My voter registration says republican, so I can vote in the primaries and try and at least get someone like Ron Paul or Gary Johnson as the nominee for the republican party. but when that inevitably fails, I vote a straight libertarian ticket in the general election. You're right, there is almost no difference between the two. We don't have a two party system, it's one party with a "left" and a "right" faction. The problem has multiple levels but it basically breaks down like this: 1.State election laws. Many states have ballot laws that make it difficult for a candidate to get on the ballot. 2. Media. the media has a vested interest in keeping the two main parties in power, the politicians have a vested interest in the media being on their side. It's a symbiotic relationship. 3. Popular mentality. Because of numbers one and two, the public mindset is deeply entrenched in the two party system. Anyone else but a "D" or an "R" is "fringe" or "radical" or "unelectable" or "can't win". All this because the media and the two parties in their symbiotic relationship have socially engineered society to think that way.

I am like Xfahctor in that I am of a Libertarian leaning yet I was registered Libertarian at one point as well that is the party that I can say I agree pretty much with at least 98% of what they say. I however realized that they wouldn't be getting anyone in soon and that if Ron Paul could be a Republican and pretty much be a Libertarian then there is no reason that I couldn't then I found that inside the Republican party there is the Republican Liberty Caucus which is for people who are Libertarians that must of felt or do feel that they can get the Republican party back on track and I think that we are seeing through Ron Paul that they can that a part of the Republican party is very much interested in this libertarian Message. I also went libertarian from Democrat because I found that I was for the Free Market to a great extent and one great enough to want to change my party also I saw what Obama was doing and couldn't be affiliated with the same party. I am a firm believer in the Constitution and that the government should stay out of the market as much as possible and should stay out of the choices of peoples personal life choices.

My personal preference is to vote for the individual that I believe would stand up for the majority of my beliefs. I don't care which party he, or she, is a member of.
