What is wrong with that? The reason people do that is because a political party has beliefs that people agree with (like Spyro and I with the republican party).
If a party shares the beliefs you have, why not devote yourself to it?

Because if devoting yourself to a party causes you to compromise at all on your beliefs, it's a bad party to devote yourself. If joining a party doesn't change your beliefs, then it's rather useless as a political party. So you're basically left with parties as social forces, which is pretty idiotic as a democratic system (although very sensible as a republican system).

But parties are a way to identify yourself as what you believe.  I say I am republican, because I agree with how republicans do things.  Someone might call them-self a democrat if they believe in democrat ideals.
If you believe in those things and someone asks you what you believe politically, its much easier to say you are republican that to say I believe this and that and this and that.

Woot woot, did somebody say par-tay ! :D  :hyper:  :w00t:

I am fairly conservative in a lot of ways except politically. Politically, I lean more toward liberal, but both have some messed up ideals and good ones :)

I'm a conservative republican, but I don't like Romney. Yup, I'm with spyro, jkag, and the rest of the reps. And I hope you don't really like Obama, Xeda, cuz I doubt he's getting reelected.

Oh, and mods, if this is considered bashing, go ahead and get rid of the part about obama. but it is in the misc section, so...

I do actually like Obama, sorry :p I don't mind if he is not reelected, though, so long as somebody better is elected to office :)

It was interesting. Back in eighth grade I thought I was pretty independent in my combination of political views, but then I took my first political test and found I ended up exactly in the middle of the Republican party.

And here's a reminder to everyone: Since this is a political thread, please be especially careful with what you say (or post). It's just too easy for any innocent political topic to turn into a flame war.

flyingfisch, it's not really bashing. I think the democratic party in general doesn't really have much faith in him either. And I agree with jkag too. just because you say you're in a party doesn't mean you need to compromise or change your beliefs. I only change my opinion if I convince myself otherwise (I'm stubborn like that) but because I'm conservative in many ways, I generalize myself as republican.

Democrat. I agree with their ideas more than the Republican party's.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

I identify myself as a Republican, but really, I'm a fiscal conservative and a social liberal (idk what that is).
