Just wondering who you guys are/would be affiliated with...

I'm a Republican.

This is bound to end well. Should I just lock it now?

...I was just curious. I was hoping (against hope) that the boys would be mature enough to handle something like this. Apparently, Kosy is a bit more realistic about this kinda thing.

I'm not faulting you at all here, and I'm probably just showing the cynical asshole side of me. It just seems like every attempt we've had to discuss anything political turns into a complete mess. Then again some of the biggest instigators are currently not active members, so heres to hoping this one turns out better than the rest.

Religious Right.

I'm fairly center of the road, or at least I disagree with half the positions of each major party. More than anything, I'm pro-personal responsibility.

[Trippingblue 1]

Far Leftist Libertarian

Mild conservative

Im not old enough to vote (14) but I would be an NDP (a canadian party). Their family first incentive and i agree on most of their views.Would be the reasons why.

Russian French party. ;)

Joke.

I don't really like bush and his philosophy(sp.), so I would not vote for him.

Democracy isn't a two party system...... wait f*ck me I guess it is here in the states...

Because of the above I am listed as nothing and have really no motivation to vote... let the ripping begin

Voting is important, especially if you dislike the Republicans and Democrats. Vote for third party candidates. I'm a very strong believer in supporting the smaller parties if you don't like the major party candidates. Without people "wasting" their votes on independants, communist or green part candidates, those parties will never get a place in the national spotlight. Fixing the system should be your motivation.

I totally agree but the task itself of trying to support a 3rd party into the mainstream is quite daunting. I am not saying that I do not vote but rather making the point that more often then not it seems useless in the elite political system we seem to be apart of.

[Hooah4 12]

I'm a Liberal Conservative (independent).

I like the response of Religious Right.

I guess I consider myself a Conservative Republican.

Here lately I'm not seeing much difference between the two parties. I admit I was excited when Bush won his first term and the Republicans had control of both House and Senate, but when I started seeing all the stuff they were putting through and all the various "pork" I was quite indignant. I was hoping that Congress was gonna cut spending and spend more responsibly, boy was I disappointed. What really got my goat was after 9/11 and all those spending bills, how many of them were actually for security and defence?

Now when it comes to elections I try to look closer at the individual candidate rather than political party. Chances are I will vote Republican before I vote democrat on the grounds that I feel the Republican party actually actually understands National Security means we take care of our own rather than rely on the Usless Nations. I believe no country should have to go to any foreign group with hat in hand and ask "Please Sir, can I defend myself?".

I could go on and on here, but I want to try to keep to topic and keep things civil. Politics and Religion are loads of fun to discuss, but people get offended all to quickly and quit thinking even quicker.

I like political parties - they always have all the posh food there.

Thats what my old room mate who is heavy in politics told me I am..

I have no clue what it means.

He told me he was right wing.. I thought he was talking about hockey

[hockeymom 2]

Well, in Canada if you are right of Atila the Hun that would make you the equivilent of an American democrat...just kidding.

I'm a bit of a political junkie... have worked on virtually every election campaign since before I was old enough to vote. And have worked on or voted for all of the main political parties in Canada at some point. Admittedly, sometimes I cringed while casting my vote. What can I say... its been a changing landscape.

I'm from Ireland, north west Ireland, and I am a republican, not the kind of republican over here, but I am a Taig, a Fenian if you will.

I am a Feiner all the way, Aontacht agus Saoirse = Siochain (means Unity and Freedom = Peace)

Here is my family history, the man at the front left facing the camera (in the dodgy tan coat) is my late father, at Bobby Sands funeral (google him)

I don't trust any government.Especially the US.Wire taps?I remember hearing that he passed some bylaw that he is an exception to the judicial system?I dont know something like that anyway.How does he win two terms in a row?I dont understand how someone could vote for him.Unless they're loaded up the ass and want tax cuts.I have a feeling the system is rigged because all the rich people get want they want.And smoking will never be illegal because half the political parties are sponsored by tobacco companies.Everything in the government sounds shady to me.

Maybe part of your problem is that you view the government solely as Bush. Even though he is the president, there are many other important members and institutions that have as much, if not more power than he has.

[Tricky4L 0]

In theory yes there are members and sections of the government that are more powerfull, but sadly within the last two terms the whole concept of checks and balances within power has gone the same way as the national surplus

Like Stephen Colbert says I vote American.
