P&N: Simple Poll - Are you Democrat or Republican.

[amdhunter]

Just a simple poll. There is no in-between, choose the one you lean closest to. I'd just like to get an idea of where this sub-forum stands.

 

[Infohawk]

Don't feel like choosing between two bad options. I think this is going to be my attitude in the next election too.

Simply choose the one you lean more towards. Every political party has their good and bad qualities.

 

[Saint Nick]

Registered Libertarian. Voted.

 

[bradley]

Neither. I'm a registered Democrat in a Democratic NYC town to maximize my primary votes. Otherwise I don't believe in political parties, or two families of the same mob.

 

[woodie1]

You forgot the "Lesser of Two Evils" option!

 

[xBiffx]

Registered Libertarian. Voted.

[Juddog]

Independent is strangely missing from the poll, so I'll choose to not vote.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Pretty much a troll thread/poll. Not offering more than two options is stupid.

 

[Jaskalas]

I come from a Republican background, so I still more closely identify with them but this will be the second presidential election in a row where I vote third party in protest.

 

[Karl Agathon]

I'm a registered Democrat, but consider myself to be a more of an independent these days. I dont walk in lockstep with any one party.

 

[Anarchist420]

The Republicans are slightly less worse today, but overall the Democrats have been quite a bit less worse.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

If you changed the poll to "which party are you more likely to vote for" folks would have less wiggle room claiming to be independent.

Edit: Actually your poll is fine, clearly most "independent" folks here lean more one way than the other.

I would consider myself an independent liberal. As a result I would say that the Democratic party is closer to my views than the Republicans. I am not registered as a member of either party so far as I know. When I registered to vote when I was younger and was ignorant of politics I would have called myself a Republicans because my parents are. Then I started paying attention and decided that I could not in good conscience ever vote Republican.

 

[FoBoT]

i think i am done with it all. i am an anti-Statist, so i'm neither option

^^

I lean to the right.

 

[MovingTarget]

I chose Democrat. I'm not officially registered as one as I consider myself independent , but the Republican party has gone so far to the right that I can barely see them over the horizon anymore... If the poll is between two options, then I am left with only one viable choice despite the many disagreements that I have with the Democratic party.

 

[Bowfinger]

No.

Same here, I generally vote Libertarian unless I really despise or fear the Democrat candidate, but I'm a registered Republican and usually vote for them for House and Senate. It's not who I want to vote for, it's whom I want to vote against, and usually that's both parties pretty equally. I used to be a registered Democrat until the abomination of the Carter Presidency. Had Santorum gotten the Pubby nod I'd have to change my registration back for the same reason.

On the other hand, I really like Mitt Romney. This will be the first election since Reagan <cue choir> that my primary pick got the nod, so this time I'll have to vote Pubby.

 

[Zebo]

Registered Republican since 1996 dreaming of another Eisenhower.

Socially I'm a libertarian.

Both parties today are complete garbage sending us into a debt death spiral and dog eat dog cultural abyss.

 

[Lithium381]

i'm really nowhere near a base republican or base democarat on things.. ... i voted rebublican only because they dont' want to take my money

 

[DAGTA]

Registered independent.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Neither. Never.

 

[zsdersw]

There is no in-between

Yes there is.

 

[(sic)Klown12]

As much as I hate what the Democrats are doing currently, I simply loath the Republican party. So, for now, if I have to identify with one party it's the D's.
