I'm Republican because the Republican Party best represents my views. I do not hold with them on everything, but a lot more than I do with Democrats. The problem I see with the 2-Party system is that everyone votes for their party canidate, if he's the scum of the earth or not! I am Republican, but there have been times I voted Democrat, and there may still be more (Say if McCain runs for President on the Republican ticket...unless Hillary or Fiengold run against him. I think even McCain would be better than tose two :D). That is why the founding fathers were so against the party system (that and that it would bring in foriegn influence - which it did...wonder where Bill Clinton got all him campaign money? Other countries wanted him elected. That should tell you something, if it is in another country's best interests for a canidate to be elected, it probably isn't in the US's. Don't want to start a debate about 'Monica-boy' here, just something to think about...). The party system is a pretty stupid idea since people vote along their party lines instead of how their concience tells them to. But yes, out of the two, I would be a Republican.
