What do you think about the extreme loyalty to Political Parties?

Question

Loyalty to Politcal Parties rather than Ideal has always been the downfall to Democracy. For example the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi Germany) Communist Party (Soviet Union, China, N. Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, ect ect).
People Today will vote based on Party and not Belief, which is sad the Majority of Americans I believe are Socially Liberal and Morally Conservative which is only represented by a handfull of Congressmen and Executive Officials. The Rich determining the Plight of the Middle/Lower Class, hopefully my generation will make up for the Failures of the one that is in Power.

Your Thoughts?

Answer 1

start a new party of liberal conservative middle of the road voters

Answer 2

I am loyal to the democratic platform. If a candidate is not doing what I expect of him according to the party platform I vote against him in the primary. Ask Joe Lieberman how it worked for him to stray from the platform and be pro war.

Answer 3

I believe that you can hold very strong party loyalties..but when they become corrupted,used,degenerated by others the party must ban those who have done it...Sadly this is exactly what has happened to the republican party, they have been hijacked by a hypocritical,religious word using,war mongering,nepotism practicing elitists crooks
