    Independent. Always have been. Now it's not so bad, but in New York it was a real pain, since Independents were forbidden from voting in primaries. Since so many NYC elections were determined in the primaries, this meant I really didn't have a vote.

    Nobody's got love for the Indies.

    I consider myself a 'citizen of the Universe'. LOL
    I'm a moderate Republican. I support a majority of their positions, but some I just don't agree with (stem cells, cloning)

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    If I was a U.S. citizen, I would stay away from the party system. Moderation (only in politics, not in drink) is the most intelligent way to go, for one is never bound by party allegiance, only by one's concious.

    Did you say
    two right wing parties
    You did.
    Wow, lets see
    Democrats-Homosexuality
    Republicans-Heterosexuality
    Democrats-Left
    Republicans-Right
    American politics were moderates, with a few extremes. Now, its going a little more extreme. The problem before was that the 2-party system usually absorbed the moderate ideas, preventing a large 3rd party. I'm not saying it won't occur (1850's and Republicans is an excellent example) but it'll take some major work to achieve.

    I'm going on a semi-tangent rant here on Orson Scott Cards book EMPIRE. I thought it was an excellent book about what can happen when you identify yourself with a party and are forced into their political realm, and you have to agree with everything they say.
    In America, your can't really be an independent (you can, along with every other party available) but there are mostly Democrats and Republicans. There are a minority, but they are that, a minority.
    Most Americans tend to gravitate to one party or the other, whether due to the parties gravitas, their policies, or promises. Thats why the Democrats were sent into Congress. To 'clean house' of the Republicans and their policies. However, they screwed it up (no fiscal budget for the government aside from Defense and Homeland security). I'm thinking that the independants should all band together because the Democrats and Republicans are both nincompoots (don't care about spelling). It won't happen though, at least not yet.
    However, you can vote for whoever you want to, but it does tend to be more party than individual driven.

    My Rant, I'm so proud.
