I choose to be an American first, which pisses folks off on either side, but I am a registrated republican, which pisses republicans off. I vote for the best candidate or none at all, and hope that pisses somebody off as well.

I've always registered independent. In Alabama if you are a registered Democrat you can only vote in the Democratic primary. If you are registered Republican you can only vote in the Republican primary. If you're independent you can vote in any (but only one). I've been registered in Virginia and North Carolina as well and did the same thing even though their law isn't the same... just out of habit.

I've never voted for a non-Democrat in any election for federal office, however. Only smaller local or state elections.

Some states require that you pick one, otherwise you are unable to vote in a primary.

And I am exactly the opposite. I've voted democrat once in a national election, and independent twice....lots of dems on my ballot at the local & state level, however.

Iowa is one of them. That is why I register as a Rebuplican from the November before the election to the Febuary after the caucus in Iowa...I then register as Indy

I've been a registered Elephant since about the mid-90s when I noticed that the Donkeys were getting a LONG way away from my views. Early on, I was probably crazier than I am now. Before I was old enough to vote, I was wearing homemade Ollie for President badges to summer school during the Iran-Contra hearings but also put up pro-Jesse posters on my front door. Wouldn't do that now. In '92 (my first Presidential campaign), I wrote in a ticket of Carter-Brown so I could have a geographically balanced ticket. (I couldn't stand Clinton, but I hadn't quite come over to the Elephants yet, particularly since I was still upset about the whole "Read My Lips" thing.) Then I found out how nuts Brown is. He's DEFINITELY not getting my vote for Governor. So I've been pretty much down-the-line GOP (unless something specific to the campaign tells me otherwise) until 2008, when I got in trouble with my Elephant buddies for actively campaigning for a Demo for State Assembly. Well, I'm sorry if you're offended, but I hold friendship, particularly lifelong friendship, over politics any day of the week, particularly when the Elephant in the race is a pathological liar (even if he IS my hometown's sacred cow).

Registered Liberterian, but not beholden to any party so i identified as Indy....keep my registration is Liberterian as i want a third party to have as many registered voters as possible so more people can get on statewide ballot....but as more TeaBaggers identify as "Liberterian"...well, let's just say my desire for third party representation has it's limits as far as painting me as a teabagger by association....

Independent.

Pro-choice.
Pro-marijuana legalization.
I believe in man's contribution to climate change and that we should do what we can to curb those effects.
I think it is OK for a company to have to give up a little profit in order to protect the planet.
I don't think profit is always good.
I think that most corporations would turn us all into dog food if they thought they could make a buck and wouldn't shed a fucking tear over it.
I also think the average citizen of this planet is a fucking moron and probably would serve the world better as a can of dogfood than their current worthless existence.
I give 15% of my annual income to charitable organizations that aid the poor, but only those that do so in the U.S., cause everybody seems so damn worried about the poor little starving children in Africa, but have you been to southeastern Kentucky lately? OMFG!! So, fuck the little African kid, I take care of those at home first.
While I believe it is the responsibility of society to take care of the less fortunate, and I give both money and volunteer time to that end, if you are a healthy human with an able mind and body and you are sitting your ass at home collecting a check because your momma, and her momma, and so on did it, and you are just too fucking lazy and sorry to contribute to society because you think the world owes you something becasue of some injustice that happened to one of your distant ancestors? Well, there are lots of hungry dogs in the world.
I believe that capitalism is still the best of lots of bad choices, but needs to be regulated to protect us from ourselves.
I also firmly believe that the best thing that could probably happen for this planet is for a virus with a 100% mortality rate to come along and wipe out our sorry overconsuming asses. We are a curse and as a species suck. But you don't see me signing up to be the first one to go to the dogfood factory, so I guess I'm one of the scummy asshole humans ruining this miracle we call a planet, and am just as guilty as the rest of you fucktards, and should shut my piehole.

So, yeah, Independent.
Dear lord... please allow this dangerous combination of hair spary, bat slobber, and D.O.T. four automatic transmission fluid to excite my mind, occupy my spirits, and enrage my body, provoking me to kick any man or woman in the back of the head regardless of what he or she has or has not done unto me. All my Best, Earlie Cuyler.

-anti federal government
-anti nanny state
-anti death penalty

-pro gay
-antiegalitarian
-antielitist
-pro civil liberties
-against evolution supplanting far more important sciences in education
-against intelligent design in the science classroom as well
-moderate right-of-center on social welfare issues
-thinks Malthus was full of sh^t
-thinks if there is any doubt we should err on the side of civilization and not on the side of the planet...the biosphere is at least 90% through with it's life cycle anyways as the sun continues to expand and get hotter

Don't like to call myself a republican but that's probably the closest thing.

Are you kidding me? I'd take an F-150, Titan, or Tundra over a Dodge any day of the week. If I needed a 3/4 ton, it would be the F-250 over the Dodge 2500 hands down. And that goes for even before Chrysler became part of Govt Motors. Dodge has been building shitty trucks for years.
