Democrat Republican or Independent Which are you?

Question

I am curious to know what has made you Democrat or Republican or Independent what policy won you over .I am searching for Why.

Answer 1

I am a hardcore libertarian. I believe that each person owns his own life and property, and has the right to make his own choices as to how he lives his life as long as they abide by the Non-Aggression Principle.

Libertarianism  advocates self-government in personal and economic matters, promotes individual sovereignty, is weary of a big federal government, stresses fiscal responsibility, and a reduction of taxes everywhere since people have a right to their labor.

Answer 2

Democrat.

Pro Choice

Against Iraq War

Against Drilling for Oil ( not Nuclear)

Against more tax cuts for rich

For sending Mexicans back to Mexico

Answer 3

Republican

I agree with them in most of the issues

immigration

economy

security

right to own guns

but I disagree with the war and the abortion

Answer 4

Right-leaning moderate or a "common sense" conservative.  

Answer 5

Totally independent since both the Democrats and Republicans are so inept and corrupt I can't support any one associated with either party.

Answer 6

I was a liberal Democrat before moving to a country with very socialist policies. After seeing the detrimental effect that liberal ideology and socialist policies have on a society, I could never again vote for someone who would want to move the U.S. in that direction. I will vote for McCain in November, but I would consider myself an Independent.

Hope that gives you a bit of insight.

Answer 7

Um, liberal democrat all the way baby.

Answer 8

I am an independent conservative (which means that I usually agree with the Republicans).

Answer 9

Independent to the right. I like ideas from both sides , I side with patriotism a great deal better than I side with socialist and communism  

Answer 10

I have always tried to remain independent.There are times I wish I could take points from each candidate and mold them into a new candidate.Since that isn't going to happen I just have to go with who i feel is best for the job.This can change between local,state,and on the fedreal level.Those that vote just on the basis of party nad not really examing the candidate that best suites thier viewsare doing a diservice to themselfs and to the people around them.  

Answer 11

I call myself an independent. I agree with the democrats on most current issues, but saying that you're a member of a major political party implies that you're stupid.
