Democrat or Republican?

[Mysterious F.]

Well, are you a Democrat or Republican?

Note: In no way is this made to start an argument or debate. If it becomes one or both, this will be lcoked, but the poll will still be open. Try not to do anything that will start either.

I'm part of no party. There are things I agree and disagree with for both parties (I'm against the Democrat's view of taking the troops out of Iraq, for example) so being part of specific 'party' seems useless to me. I'd really rather vote for someone who is the most reasonable choice instead of someone who is part of my 'party' but has terrible views.

I don't choose. I would rather think what I think without worrying if it's in line with a bunch of gray-headed old guys. I'm sure I have Democratic beliefs as well as Republican, and I'm fine with that.

I try not to vote as a partisan, meaning that I stick to my party.  Rather, I try to vote as a trustee, meaning I vote for what I think is right, Republican or Democrat.  But it just so happens that most of my beliefs coincide with the Republican party.

Also, I don't think you can get away with starting a Republican/Democrat topic without there being any debate or argument over the issues.

[Baka Nezumi]

I am mostly democratic, but I wouldn't vote for the Democratic candidate if they were doing something I thought wrong.

[Mysterious F.]

No, I mean serious flame debates like dan_the_man's topic. That turned into flame, so I'd ratehr not let this turn into a major debate topic, but a simpler one.

Democrat. But I'm about as progressive and left as you can get.

[Gamefreak]

I have a feeling that I'm going to be backed into a corner on this.

[violinist]

I'm Republican, but I agree with some Democratic beliefs. And I think a mod may want to lock this and keep the poll open instead of keeping it open to flame.

[Commodore Axilon]

Democrat. I'm probably the most liberal person here.

[Gamefreak]

I'll see where it goes, it seems pretty calm right now.

[Rev Rabies]

dont worry GF, im on your side

[Fishalicious]

I don't know or care, and I get the parties confused at times. XD

I'm with the peaceful treehugging party, I guess. XD

I don't care much for politics. But when it does come to it, like at the beginning of History, I usually side  with the democrats. It really depends on what the president/ governor/ mayor's veiws are. For example, Barack Obama (Current Senator of Illinois) is a democrat and supports abortion, and I agree with him, but I'm sure there is some republican party that is against illigal immigration, and I'm against illigal immigration as well.

Is that a challenge?

Yeay for liking Barack! And could you elaborate on the immigration thing? Because, for example, I am against illegal immigration, but I don't think these people are criminals, the system needs to be reworked so is not about keeping them out, its about regulation of criminals and such.

[DW]

Of course they are against illegal immigration, that's why it's illegal. 8)I think we need to find some way to tighten security...I don't think it's that big of a deal though, probably just a minor nuisance.
