Democrat, Republican, or Other?

Democrat...but just barely. I really don't fit the Democrat "culture." I'm very conservative both theologically and socially, and I'm quite strongly pro-life (right now this is my biggest issue with voting Democrat). Ultimately a combination of my liberal fiscal views and Republican moral hypocrisy cause me to almost always vote for Democrat candidates.

Libertarian.

Been all of them at one time or another. Leaning more towards other as I get older.

Registered as Republican.

I said Other.... Registered Republican but Vote my Conscience..... whoever the lesser evil is.....

Proud Democrat. And no, I have never found any cognitive dissonance with calling myself a Christian and being a Democrat.

my political leanings tend towards Libertarian or Constitution (I would love to see Congress go back to being a part time job )

I am, however, a registered Republican because we don't have much in the way of a local libertarian party. I do vote for the person (I spend a lot of time looking at voting records and party platforms) and not along strict party lines. Too often politicians of both major parties are of the "do what I say, not what I do" ilk. So while they might profess one thing to get elected, their voting record says the opposite.

I'm independant, I'll vote for whoever I think is appropriate. Since I have socialist leanings, this means I tend to vote more as a Democrat (usually being authoritarian but semi-socialist), but I have libertarian leanings as well, so if the Republican party were being classic Republicans (libertarian capitalists) instead of neo-cons (authoritarian capitalists) I'd probably vote 50/50 since there aren't any viable third parties at the moment.

Carry-carrying member of the Libertarian Party. But between Republicans and Democrats, I usually consider the Republican the lesser evil. Generally, I agree with Republicans more on foreign policy and economics, but with Democrats more on social issues.

Hoping one day to live in a "red" state.

I don't see why there would be any cognitive dissonance.

It's important for Christians to be politically involved. The key is in keeping our perspective straight. I think as Christians we should never become so alligned with a particular political party that we become loyal to the party above trying to influence the political discussion and policy.

I'm registered as a Republican and usually vote Republican because the party is usually closer to how I'd like to see government work.

When I initially registered in 1978, I was a Democrat. As my views changed, and as the Democratic Party changed, I re-registered as a Republican in 1984.

Let's see. When I became of age to vote, I registered Democrat, because my parents were and both were in a union.

Then as years went on and I became more interested in the policies and platforms of the parties, I examined both very closely. After careful consideration, I changed parties and switched my registration to Republican, which is what I am now.

However, like many on here, I'm not a straight-party voter. I vote for the best candidate available, whichever party they may belong to, who can do the best job IMO.

That goes for all the elections I vote in, from school board, to township supervisor, state office and national elections.

As it stands right now, I have no idea who to vote for this coming November. The 3 still in it don't do anything for me .

In the past year I've went from Republican to Democratic to Unaffiliated. On most things -- the war, economy, health care, etc. I agree with the Democrats on. The major things I agree with the Republicans on is abortion and gun control. I will vote Democratic in November simply because Obama (or even Hillary) would be the lesser of the two evils.

I didn't vote because I am not technically baptist. But I'll throw in my 2 cents. I am registered Republican but will cross the aisle for any number of reasons. I would say I vote Republican 75% of the time.

Althrough I selected Democrate, which is what I registered at and voted for many years. In the past few elections I have really prayed for God's direction in who He wanted in office and I have voted Republican.

If I were in the United States, I would probably vote for the Constitution Party. However, my practice is, and has always been, to vote, first, for the candidate, and only then, for the party. I don't care if we are speaking of a party without any possibility to win an election: I'm not pragmatic in that sense, but idealist.
