No.

I am a registered independent because the idiots here in Arizona won't let people register for third parties. Otherwise, I'd be a registered Libertarian.

I like parties. Free beer.

Unless you start your own political party or actually manage to find one that meets every single one of your opinions, being in a political party is pretty much a cop-out.

Even if you do find one which has base positions that you agree with, if you always vote for the person from that party without at least looking into their personal viewpoints, it is an even bigger cop-out.

Okay, but your only other option is to completly resign from the democratic process.

If this was directed at me, I hope you realize the stupidity of what you just said.

So, in other words, "I got scared and joined the party that had the most power at the time."

so independents have dropped out of the political process. in the us they may not be able to vote in primaries(differs according to state) but they are some of the most covetted voters in general elections because of their very lack of alignment with either large party.

If this was directed at me, I hope you realize the stupidity of what you just said.

I'm a stupid Republican. Educate me, o wise one.

One does not need to join a party in order to vote. I know that it is hard to understand - but you don't need to let someone else decide who you should vote for.

But if you belong to the party, you can vote in PRIMARIES (at least in the US) which will pick you candidate, so you can pick the best candidate.

Did you honestly think Kerry was your go-to guy versus Bush? I will never for the life of me understand why the Democrats didn't pick Dean- he would have given Bush a run for his money.

You can vote in the primary even as an independent - you just have to pick which is the most important in that election.

Care to try again?

Personally, the only time I would vote for Bush is if they ran him against Satan or Adolf Hitler.

*shrug* I live in GA - Kerry was pretty much picked long before our primaries. I didn't much care for him, but he was better than the alternative. I voted in the Republican primary here, as there were more important races at the local/state/congress levels on the Repub side of things. The Democrats in office here weren't even challenged.

No.

Oh. That's not how it works in New York State- you have to be a registered member of the party to vote in the party primaries.

It's different for each state. Some states let independents vote in primaries, some don't, some don't but let you change your party affiliation the day of the primary.

*shrug* Then you cheat the system. Register for whichever primary you feel it is most important to vote in. You can change any number of times, as long as you only vote in a single party's primary for any given election.

Well, good luck with that.

Hmmm... sounds like an idea.

I live in New York (Berkley East), one of the bluest cities in America, and most of my elected representatives are Democrats.

I worked on the campaign of a Republican candidate for City Council, and while we lost, we came amazingly close (in 2002).

Next year we try again, and I don't plan on losing twice.

Your point (which I initially misunderstood) about cop-outs is SOMEWHAT valid... but I really do like the Republican platform.

In Canada, the process of my party works...

I can vote for who will be the party backed candidate for elections

I can run for deligate position in my area out of about 30 deligates needed, and then vote for the party leader (prime minister)

Nah. I could tell you our original party, but that would take up 40 lines of space.

oh yeah, i forgot the People's Marxist Phanagist Christians for Biblical Literalism and the Deportation of all Foriegners and Homosexuals Jhaddi Alliance of Ecolibertarians all died when their mini van hit a propane truck on the way to protest a catholic bingo game in the suburbans of davenport iowa.

New democratic Party...

too liberal to be a member of the liberal party in canada

No. I would join the Constitution Party, except that they want to create a theocracy (or at least, that's what it seems like). I would join the Libertarian Party, except that I disagree with them on the issues of abortion, drugs, and immigration. So, I belong to no party.

Whats you reason for being NDP, its very existance is propaged by teenagers who hate big government witch is exactly what the NDP wants. I can't respect a party that wants a ban on trasfats, yet says nothing about cigaretts. NDP make no attept to see where everyone else comes from and declares themselves holyer than thow. Whenever theirs a debate they just can't seem to take their turn. NDP KILLS MY INNER CHILD.

I'm currently a member of the Democratic party, but that could change if they don't get their shit together.

Good ol' Whig Party!

What's wrong with a pragmatic, reasonable party? Sure I like utopia's too, but I have nationstates for that :D

Registered Republican. This way, I get to monkey with y'alls primaries; when I say something stupid in an interview, it says "Republican" under my name; and when you guys start rounding up the ACLU members, I hear my voter reg card will work as a "get out of camp free" card.

It's kind of like when Luke used the stormtrooper suit to sneak onto the death star.

That's something I never got about American Politics, why you need to register to a party to be able to vote.

Or have I the wrong end of the stick :confused:

That's not true.

Only for primaries. You don't have to declare party affiliation to register, only to participate in that party's primary election (to determine who they'll field against the other party's candidate in the real election).

That said: GOP for Keyes '08!

That's not true.
Why thank you for simple saying I was wrong without telling me why :rolleyes:

A genuine thank you to You Forgot Poland

The Green Party does meet the vast majority of my opinions. I also think that they are by far the best party in my country. (And yes, we have a choice of more than two.)

I am not advocating blindly voting for a candidate because of their party. It is important to look into what they themselves think.

Not sufficiently patriotic, I deem thee.

Really? I live in Phoenix and am registered as a Libertarian.

I'm a registered Democrat, but my political leanings are a cross of Democrat/Libertarian/Green. I should probably just switch to independant.
