republican here. i agree with the republican ideals, especially pro-life.

In my opinion Ronald Reagan was one of the best presidents of all time.

Tom Earp 02-18-2004 08:02 PM

okay, a registered reb. here, Does it really matter what is one being called?

Looks Like Kerry. But, now my question is, liken it to your Chapter.

Yes Edwards knew nothing, he was and idiot! Edwards, love Him, no exprience.

Now, My question again, is Busch such a friggen idiot?

Each time a new regieme takes control, they have to re learn all over again!

I am off to dinner!

Have AA Good Eve!:)

the ideals of the republican party are just more of what i believe in. both parties have their issues, and there are def some liberal-esque qualities in me, but for the most part i am a conservative repub who loves and supports the dubya. not as far right as some, but def less left than others.

4 more years, baby! :)

I'll just use your explanation for mine too - much easier than re-typing the same thing :D

While I am to the very far right on things like pro-life, I also tend to have views that lean more left (like animal rights - but its a situational basis).

See - I'm not as evil as everyone thought! :p

Tom Earp 02-28-2004 03:54 PM

Oh god, I dont want to hear about a Grade B Cowboy and War actor being President! He was an Actor playing the role of The President!:eek:

Has anyone seen the movie "Dave"?

Now Dave was a Man thrown into a situation who had a mind of his own!:cool:

Wont even get into the carry over from good times under Slick Willie from Arkinsaw!;)

In 2000 I would have gone for McCain, but went Gore.

This year I'm hoping for Clark.

Me too! VOTE LIBERTARIAN!

Hmm..there is no party that truly fits my ideas.
I'm a TRUE Independent

It looks like a 55/45 split in favor of Republicans. If you are a Florida Democrat, it would be a tie.

CarolinaDG 03-25-2004 11:02 PM

I'm a liberal democrat. Very rare in South Carolina, but probably due to my northern parents. I do go a little conservative on some things, but VERY rarely.

ADPiZXalum 04-03-2004 10:04 PM

Extreme right wing conservative. :p

I am a Right Wing Conservative and support the TLC. ~Boodleboy322

chideltjen 04-16-2004 03:33 PM

democrat... but i am more middle ground, rather than really left or right winged. i can never make up my mind on anything anyway.

Probably why I never vote... I never really pay attention.

(I know i know... i am part of problem... start slinging the mud now...)

swissmiss04 04-22-2004 07:50 PM

I have no idea. Probably libertarian. I'm very middle of the road and "stay out of my business". In my own life, I'm sort of conservative but I don't want my choices to be limited. I'm for legalizing drugs. I'm against legislating abortion. I'm against censorship. But I don't do drugs, I wouldn't have an abortion and I'm usually pretty "clean". I think that if people want to do something that could potentially harm them, they have the right to do so. However, I do advocate chemical castration for rapists and child molesters :)

ThetokenCanuck 04-23-2004 12:11 AM

I used to work for the deputy prime minister of Canada-John Manley..also used to be running for the leader of the liberal party..but he will be back!! neways..i am a liberal for sure!!

sairose 04-23-2004 01:43 PM

Democrat checking in here! :D

My favorite Democrat bumper sticker:

"Democrats are sexy. Who ever heard of a great piece of elephant?" :cool:

That is hysterical! We just moved to Florida, and hope to be the winning margin for President Bush.

We used to be Democrats. A long time ago. In our youth. . .:cool:

Republican Power
 
I'm a conservative republican through and through!!!

My main issue is abortion: I'm very Pro-Life. I know not all democrats are Pro-Choice, but the majority are, and that is one of their party platforms.

Speaking of, did y'all know that John Kerry has repeatedly voted against the banning of Partial Birth Abortions, one of the worst forms of abortion, and one that doctors have said causes severe pain to the unborn child?

I don't see how any pro-lifers could vote John Kerry, but who knows?




BUSH '04!!!!!

DZHBrown 05-17-2004 02:43 AM

Proud to be a conservative Republican here! 4 more for Bush!!

AOcutiePi4ever 05-27-2004 03:42 PM

i'm a liberal. wouldnt ever want to be anything else.

Tom Earp 05-29-2004 04:43 PM

Would it make any difference being:

Liberal conservative or a conservative liberal?:eek:

What if anything has your Local, County, State, and Federal Governments done lately:confused:

Have they actually done anything for you?

Well, maybe make budget cuts, raise taxes, over spend money!

I love how Governments do business:

1. Spend money on the if come of taxes.

2. Cannot control a budget.

3. Cut budgets till it hurts services for the people that they say that they represent.

4. Have no clue how to budget a ch

4. Have no clue how to budget a check book as us peed ons do daily.

Guess, it boils down, if do not have it, dont spend it!

BUSH '04!!!!!

Well, this is all I'll say here, since this is just a forum to state our parties, and no debates. I can understand why...because I am pro-life, AND I am 100% Democrat.

The problem is, no matter WHAT party you associate with, there is most likely SOME issue what you do not agree with. For me, it's abortion. I do not support it. HOwever, comparing Democrats to Republicans, I *do* agree with everything else Democrats stand for, while I could never be a Republican for many reasons...sO I think it would be wrong for me to switch and be a Republican simply because of one issue. For a few years, actually, I debated whether I was really a Democrat because I am so Pro-life but in the end, I realized it's okay to still be one and be against one of the Democrat things. I hope this makes sense. :) But seriously...I know how much you love Bush, but I promise you that somewhere down the line he has done something you don't agree with. And that's okay too...so you see where I'm coming from? Note, I don't want this to be a debate, because this forum is just to state our political party. But since you mentioned it, I wanted to explain how it is possible. :)

WCUgirl 06-06-2004 01:38 AM

I am a very liberal democrat. :D Husband is a republican...he's a Marine and all so that comes w/ the territory. However, when we moved and he registered to vote here, I got him to register as an independent. I'm sloooooowly bringing him over to my side.

Do y'all have an open primary?

UHPhiMu05 06-27-2004 02:07 PM

I'm very conservative. I tend to vote for Republicans, but I try to keep an open mind and not vote straight party.

nucutiepie 06-27-2004 02:41 PM

Fiscally conservative, socially liberal. I know Republicans are *traditionally* fiscally conservative and Democrats are fiscally liberal. However, this current administration turned a massive budget surplus into a massive budget deficit.

As my daddy said, "You know, the traditional, old-school Republicans are socially rather liberal, financially conservative. With George Bush, its socially conservative, and financially, its just one big drunken orgy."

So I guess if the Republican party were still controlled by traditionalists, I would be a moderate Republican. Things being how they are, looks like I'm squarely in the Democrat box. (I am a registered Democrat and all... although I have voted Republican for State Senator. But this was in Massachusetts, so she's still very moderate)

The term Rockafeller Republican comes to mind- they tended to be socially liberal, fiscally conservative/responsible.


I'm squarely in the Democrat box.

I've worked on several Congressional campaigns, a Gubernatorial campaign and a Presidential campaign- all Democrats. All statehouse campaigns I've worked on have been Democrats.
The one District Attorney campaign I worked on was a Republican- but when it came to this race it was more "has the guy in office prosecuted criminals or sat on his behind?"

Sister Havana 07-03-2004 02:17 AM

Liberal Democrat here. :) I have been known to cross party lines in local elections, though. (I've voted for my state rep, who is Republican, in every election he's been in...of course he is also a friend of the family.)

AlphaFrog 07-03-2004 05:16 AM

I tend to not vote for two reasons...

A. I do not feel I should have to choose between the lesser of two evils...give me a good canidate and I'll be first in line to vote. (And yes I DO have a right to complain if I don't vote, because like I said, I want a DECENT canidate, NOT the lesser of 2 evils)

B. I only have one major issue that I would vote on and that places me toward one side, but I have issues with some of their other policies, so I wouldn't vote that way either. Basically, I think the two major parties have values/policies that I think are inconsistant with eachother and only that way because they want to be opposite of what the other party is.

And because this thread is what it is....if I had a gun to my head and had to vote (how American) I'd vote Republican.

Look into declining your vote on election day.
It's the political way to say "No, thanks".

piphimaggie 07-14-2004 09:15 PM

lol, I heard the last bit of something on NPR about an upcoming show that said something like "Volvo driving, left-wing freak show." Yes, yes, and yes. :p
Got my Kerry sticker on my Volvo already ;)

NickLc24 07-21-2004 01:15 PM

I'm very conservative but I vote for the man or woman who can get the job done. Let's just say, Powell is my kind of guy.

SSmith15 07-21-2004 02:45 PM

Socially and fiscally conservative. Part of what others love to call "the Religious Right." I am very involved with the Republican Party here in my city, and work on many campaigns. I have interned for State House Representatives and hope to go into politics someday. The goal is to work in legislation.

I am the same! As soon as I got my new Lexus I put a Kerry Edwards sticker on it, which my best guy friend said ruined the car. But he's also a Republican so of course he's going to say that.
