frustratedI am a registard Republican, only so I can vote in the primary's.  However, I fall along the lines of a Liberatarian.  I believe in live and let live and I believe the government should stay the hell out of ppl's lives.  There only job should be to take care of the country and not be our damn baby sitter!  I am sick to death of all the Political Correct crap!  We have become the land of the easily offended and the It's not fair they have more than me, country.  this sense of entitlement astounds me to no end!  I just want to work,keep my money and live my life without the government trying to me how to live it!  I am pro gun, pro choice, pro gay marriage, pro smaller government, pro freedom OF  religion (not from religion)  People need to be able to make their own decsions like eating a bucket of chicken or smoking a cigarette with the government telling the what to do.  If you get fat, then that is your problem, if you get lung cancer,, oh well, it is not like you didn't know what would happen.  People need to take on some personal responciblity and give up the Big Brother.

I don't vote. I don't complain either. The only reason I don't vote is b/c politics is all about lieing. They say one thing and do another. I don't believe any of them. Why vote for someone I can't believe.

I am mostly a Republican, but have Libertarian tendencies.

I voted for Ron Paul in the primaries and would voted for him if he ran, but he didn't so I went Republican, it was a case of the lesser of two evils.

I am a registered Republican but I think I will be switching to Independent or Libertarian.

I voted "Other" because when I got my FL Driver's Licence I was given the option of actually having "No Party Affiliation" put in place of ... er ... a party affiliation.  That's what I chose.  I vote for whomever I feel is best suited to not only meet my needs but the best needs of the community at large.

Me too, and no it doesnt seem right. 

I have to say though that I voted  the opposite for the exact same reason home-sweet-home :)

What factors determine your political affiliation?  How did you decide? I vote for the person that I think has the best anwsers regarding issues that are important to me.

Have you always considered yourself a Democrat, Republican or Independent?  yes

Do you vote along party lines or on a case-by-case basis?  I very rarely vote for a person outside of my party, but I always take issues on a case by case bases.
