What Political Party Do You Belong To Or Align Most Closely With?

I'm a registered republican, but this time I voted libertarian. We really need to reduce the size of government, and get back to the constitution. Are rights are being destroyed by both parties. If people voted for a third party candidate, and stopped playing it safe by voting rep/dem, we might have a chance at some real change. I made that choice this time, I voted for change. Out of principal, I can't keep voting for "republicrat" candidates; meaning I consider both parties to be virtually the same. The may differ on a few issues, but there goals are the identical: A one world government, and complete and total control over our lives

I'm a card carrying Democrat and content for now to stay that way. However, if my party ever started insisting that everybody and every candidate tow a ridgid party line the way the Republicans seem to do these days, I'd be looking for a third party.

Well I align myself most closely with what the republican party "should" stand for, but I'm still on the fence until the next election. I'm entertaining the thought of changing to the libertarian party. Regardless of which party I affiliate myself with, I'll always vote for the person, not the party. I don't sell my soul to the letter next to a candidates name.

I used to be a card carrying Democrat but just couldn't quite align myself with their ideals. I'm much too conservative for that. That was years and years ago, just when I was eligible to vote. Youth and their ideals, lol. I think for me there is no real party home, lol. I'm kind of central. There are some things I like that the Democrats and Republicans and yes, Libertarians and even others stand for, and other stuff I don't like. I know I don't have to be 100% behind one party, but I can't really identify with any of them enough to call myself being a, well, whatever party label there is. Independent is the proper category, I guess. Anyhow, it's interesting how people seem to get really turned off the main two parties now. Looks like a third one might gain some footing, which might be very beneficial for the US political landscape and decision making. Time for change, but it might not be the one Obama had in mind;)

I usually vote republican but I identify myself as a conservative on almost all issues. I live in the northeast so this leaves me with almost no options on election day as most candidates are pretty liberal regardless of party. So usually, I just pick the one that I think is likely to accomplish the least and therefore do the least harm.

I don't align closely with any political party, and I don't think it will ever be possible for me to because of my religious beliefs about social and economic justice and violence.

I am a member of the U.S Libertarian party. I have always view my political views as libertarian, but I was also pragmatic so I vote Republican because election do matter. What change was when John McCain became the parties nominee, I did not see much that I agreed with. With the GOP supporting TARP they lost my support.

I'm a registered Democrat and most of the time I vote that way but, contrary to what some here believe, I vote for the person not the party. In the past there have been plenty of Republicans I have liked and some I have voted for but out of today's group there sure aren't many I could support. I guess there are a few Governors like Arnold and Florida's governor who are OK. Annie

I am a defected republican, I admit, they lost me, they are no longer republicans and the democrats are too democratic. I supported Chuck Baldwin in the last election, of the constitution party, partly because I like what he stood for on the important issues and he did get a nod and endorsement from Ron Paul, one of the few elected servants I still respect. I considered voting for Bob Barr of the Libertarian party, he had just about total agreament with Chuck baldwin in just about all the imortant areas so it was a tough call for me. It wasn't a matter of the lesses of two evils, it was more a matter of the better of two goods, it was quite refreshing actualy and it was a tough choice, it litteraly came down to splitting hairs in my final decision.

I am republican, and I don't want to join another party, or third party. Obama's sure doing a good job of cleaning up the Republican party, lol. Hope Collins and Snowe got Democrap, too.

i would have to say democrate and thats they way i vote most of the time , i vote for the person not the party and i could not stand mccain he lied way to much like on the abortion isue he said one minute hes prolife and 2 min later he said he was pro choice its one or the other you can't be both .

Being in England I am not part of a political party, though when I have voted in general elections I have tended to vote Labour party. I feel that this would be the equivalent of the Democrat party in the U.S, though I guess it is not the same.

At first I wasn't into politics at all. Still some of the things about it I don't understand, but I believe I fall more in line with the Liberterians too. I didn't vote for anyone in the election. I didn't either way at the time.
