well, since I'm compassionate, I can't vote conservatively

NYTimes: Conservatives are not compassionate, Liberals are not logical

:D :cool:

Republican...was Democrat, but realized I agreed with more Republicans than Democrats and changed parties.

Democrat!!! Bush is just a spoiled rich kid who always gets his way.

i just became a republican..never was a democrat..i was more on the conservative side. but i have a question, how do i go about registering to be a republican because i think its crucial..thanks!!:)

What? Because Kerry really was a poor man on welfare.

-Rudey

VERY Democrat. However, we're not registered to a party in VA. I don't always vote straight party lines (although most candidates I vote for are Dem). If McCain had won the nomination in 2000, I would have maybe voted for him.

I'm a registered Democrat and tend to vote for all democrats. However, liberals do make some strong points, as do the Republicans. I heard somewhere that ideally the plans for all these parties would be good for the country, but there are too many variables in the political system for it to work.

Republican, born and bred. I am the polar opposite of a bleeding heart liberal and always will be.

I have no official affiliation and I vote for Democrats and Republicans. However, I usually vote Republican. I am very conservative on moral issues. Politics in my state is usually voting for the person who will screw up LA the least.

I usually have voted Republican, but I held my nose and voted for Kerry in 2004, I guess I'm a suburban moderate Republican, don't care for the Religous Right or the extreme left. I like McCain. Have some libertarian attitudes as well.

I love when people say isht like, "Well, I would have voted (Democrat/Republican) but I'm actually (a nice person/compassionate/don't drown babies)." Thanks for the substanciated comment.

Registered Independent but have a feeling I will vote Republican from now on!

Not registered and never will if I can get out of it. Usually vote D but if push came to shove and you examined my base beliefs, I am probably one of those moderate R's. It's interesting to read about what the Republican Party of Lincoln started out as.

Registered republican, though I don't necessarily vote on party lines. I tend to lean more left on social issues and more right on economical issues.
Really wanted J. Lieberman for 2004 but that didn't happen...I didn't particularly care for any of the '04 presidential candidates, so it was more like selecting the one who would do the least harm...

Republican

Democrat

non-partisan

but i usually vote democrat....even though i hesitate to identify myself with any party. i'm liberal. we'll say that.

Same

Grumpy Conservative Republican here. :)

Morally and fiscally (and everything else) far right-wing here! Registered as a Republican; had a few oportunities to vote, and always voted Republican. Not to say that I'm not thinking for myself, I just have never agreed with a liberal so far! Love Bush to death, as well as most of his family, and really only disagree with him on one point... I disagree wholeheartedly with the death penalty, which is definitely a result of my Catholic upbringing. :D Love ya, Dubya!!

I'm another one of those middle-of-the roaders.
-More socially liberal and fiscally moderate.
-Generally tend to lean more left, and am a member of the College Democrats (actually, I'm webmaster) here, largely because we're the only campus political organization that gets involved in the community.
-Don't care for the extreme left or right fringes or people that try to push their political views on me (you should feel really bad you went to a private high school/you're going to hell because you don't support the 10 Commandments in the courthouse).
-Absolutely despise people that vote a certain way because parents/friends told them to. You owe it to yourself and everyone else in America to vote for who YOU feel is best qualified, not the person everyone else thinks is. Trust me, they'll get over it. (Yes, that means I would vote Republican if I thought they were better for the job.)

Conservative Republican

Well, it only took me a year to realize that someone posted a question to me in this thread.

We do have an open primary (pick a party and then you can vote), but he doesn't care about being able to vote in the primaries. He's probably going to register as an Independent (or Unaffiliated, whatever) where ever we live.

I go to church and believe in God. That makes me a radical religious wacko.

I am pro-life. That makes me a woman-hater (even though I am a woman).

I think Americans are over-taxed. That makes me selfish and greedy.

I think the United States is the greatest country on earth. That makes me sheltered and unworldly.

I admire our military. That makes me a war-monger.

I can figure out a ballot. That means I am not a Floridian.

I can spell. That makes me a rarity on GreekChat.

I am a conservative.

That was pretty good!

Hey, I'm a "liberal," and I can spell pretty well. 5-time elementary/middle school champ, at that. :)

/hides in shame at own geekiness

That should be spelled "geekiness"

Republican, mostly... I am fiscally conservative, and slightly liberal socially...

That's pretty much how I am, only I usually vote Republican, but I guess I'm a really moderate Republican, just not when spending or nosing around in my personal business are involved. :)

Democrat ... socially and fiscally liberal (did I spell that right?)

100% republican.

Researched Libertarian, but all the things I hated about them were the things I hated about the democrats. Thank God we have a couple of years till the next election season (2004 wore me out, but good results in the end :D) I'm gonna be behind the scenes somehow in 2008...probably on a local level, but you gotta start somewhere.

Socialist or Republican.

I'm a Christian and I believe that means, in addition to knowing that Christ died for me, I don't judge people and I do try to help the poor and needy. I don't worship the false god of capitalism and I know that the best way to "do what Jesus would do" is to be generous.

Hence, I am a democrat.

What she said.

Democrat: Fiscally Liberal but Socially moderate :)

That's about right. I would vote Libertarian any day they float a viable candidate, until then I will probably continue to vote Republican.

I'm a fiscal conservative

read: pro-choice Republican

if all the people who ever thought "I would vote for *insert third party* if I thought they had a chance" actually voted their conscience, their third party would have a chance.


Edited because I can't spell.

I'm an Independant. Not really sure why. I think its because I don't agree with some stuff each party does or say.

Completely 100% democrat here.... it broke my mom's republican heart! :)
Go Hillary and John Edwards
