Republican, Democrat, or other? What do we have more of here? What reasons do you like one party over the other?

Probably trending to Libertarian. As a leader I was job-oriented but never forsook the treatment of people as the highest priority. The more bees with honey thing. And I do not believe conservatives hate the poor. Not at all.

The biggest issue for me is second amendment issues, the Dems want to unreasonably restrict, if not all out ban, private firearm ownership. Regardless of any law, I will never disarm, i just don't want to be called a criminal and have to start shooting cops because of a bunch of America hating "progressive" dems want to make me their victim and send their minions on confiscation errands. Behind that it is the social programs of the dems, they are allowing criminal behavior on our borders for nothing more than to increase their voting base, not to mention the first amendment violations that have come up lately with the fallacious gay "marriage" debate and all the politically correct crap that goes with it. I would much rather see a Libertarian than a Republican in office, but there is no way I could ever vote for a modern dem, and I pretty much see anyone that would as an idiot, blind ideologue or an enemy of the U.S. and all of our traditions and culture. If you vote dem, wake up, you are hurting the country.

I am an American 1st. I do NOT like party or labels. I vote for ideas not party. Do not tread on me and do not label me. If you cannot speak with me as a man 1st and a human being next without having to label me then you are either too stupid or too confused to understand what it means to be an American.

For those who need labels in order to defend your position on a given issue then you are of no use to me. I love a good discussion (debate) and even if you prove me wrong, not by yelling or insulting me; rather, by presenting your case and presenting facts vs rhetoric and hyperbole then I am honored to have lost the debate, because you have now made me want to work harder to either defend my position; or, come over to your side because to you provided clarity beyond clear that I could not refute.

In short you earned my respect!

The two major parties are scum, John McCain is about the only Republican I might vote for. The Democrats need to wake up to the fact that their base has moved left. Shumer, Pelosi, and Clinton are more Republican than Democrat. Last election I wasn't able to bring myself for either.

I am not a Democrat, not a Republican, not a liberal nor pure conservative. I try to research, analyse and think for myself. My ideas have more or less similarities with the various political platforms but I reject the narrow minded nature of the two party system. No party or idea encapsulates me.

Its not a matter of political party. Its a matter of patriot or not. I may lean to the conservative side, but I'm registered non-partisan because I think our political party system is flawed and does nothing to bring this country together.

i'm a registered Democrat & have been my entire life. Having said that, the last Democrat i voted for was Gray Davis for Governor of California. Two years later, I voted to recall him.

I vote in Democrat primaries, but mostly find myself voting AGAINST the candidates put up by the party.

I am a VERY Conservative, ANTI-Gun Control, ANTI-Nanny State, Libertarian. I vote Republican because a Libertarian can not win and is just a vote for a Democrat. I want the Government to STOP the handouts and make everyone responsible for their own actions, go to a flat tax and treat EVERYONE Equal with NO ONE having "Protected Status" so that everyone has true freedom. Freedom to hire and fire who they wish, to run their homes as they wish and to enjoy true freedom of speech and assembly.

Basically, keep you hand out of my wallet, your hands out of my gun cabinet and your liberalism out of my home and schools. Aside from that do what you will, UNTIL it infringes on my right not to have it in my life.

None of the above. American
