There are a lot of people who say that your politics come from your age and your location. I want to see if this is true on Yahoo! Questions (I know, not scientific, but I'm curious). So, please tell me what your political party is (ie- republican, democrat, independent, socialist, libertarian, communist, etc), your age, and your location (ie- state). Also, I'm interested to know if your parents share your political affiliation. Thanks.

Your political affiliation comes from a lot of sources. The first rule is that you will be whatever party your parents are. If your parents are Republican, you will tend to vote that way.
Another factor is the size of the town you live in. If you live in a small town in the Midwest, chances are substantial that you will be a Republican. If you come from a very large metropolitan area like New York City, Los Angeles or Boston, you will definitely be in the majority if you are a Democrat.
Another factor is religion. If you are from a conservative fundamentalist Christian church, you will be more likely to vote Republican. Except if you are from a fundamentalist Christian Church and you are Black, you will be Democrat.
There are a lot of demographic factors. Union membership on the job turns out Democratic voters. If you are a small businessman and in business for yourself, you tend to vote Republican.
Young college students and senior citizens tend to vote Democratic. Poorer, low income citizens tend to vote Democratic. Wealthier people tend to vote Republican.
Teachers, social workers, psychologists and lawyers tend to be Democrats.
But there are exceptions to the rule here, a lot of times, also.
Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon were conservatives from a very liberal state. Lyndon Johnson was a liberal from a very conservative state. Jimmy Carter was a Democrat from a state which has historically been Democratic, but has gotten very Republican in recent years.
Oh, yes. I am a 50 yr. old Democrat from the West Coast. My father was a liberal Democrat and a union activist and my mother is a conservative Republican from the Midwest.
