green party and all others?
I've heard that people stay in a party once they decide and it is hard to change.
I changed from republican to democrat this year. Anyone else ever changed parties and from what to what?

It is true that once in a party, it takes a lot to leave it. Ppl are loyal by nature I think.
I was a raised a republican then after the 80s, I went independent. In 2000, I switched to democrat.
I made this move because I felt the republicans had used very low dirty tactics to smear Clinton.. and I never even voted for him.
It took realizing how dishonest republicans were for me to switch.

I am in favor of a Constitutional Republic where the people truly have the power and the government fears the people. What we have now is tyranny (where the government leaders show little regard for the constitution on which our great nation was founded, and where the people fear the government.) I favor a government limited to defending our nation, and enforcing the laws that the people vote on. All other issues are better left to local government or the private sector. I do not lable myself either democrat or republican so I guess that makes me an independent.

Was a Republican conservative. Then became informed and matured so I became a Democrat (plus I'm working class, not rich so republicans hate me.) Then after listening to Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh I became a Moderate. Then after seeing just how bad a President Bush is (polls say he's considered the worst ever) I know I'll never go back.

in the starting up, I consider you about polls. you should use polls to help basically about any view, it actually relies upon on the way you note the question. Republicans and Democrats take small polls many times, subtly modifying the language each and every time, then reporting the outcomes for the pollthat went maximum their way. As for activities. there replaced into an rather influential e book in the Nineteen Seventies named Megatrends. It suggested significant adjustments that were happening in American society and subculture. between the 'megatrends' replaced into the abandonment of political activities. further and extra human beings in the Nineteen Seventies were registering as autonomous, 'voting for the guy, no longer the social gathering'. It replaced into idea on the time that activities ought to develop right into a lot less correct, that partisanship ought to shrink. That stopped in 1980 with the campaign of Ronald Reagan for president. The Republicans were then, are literally, and so a ways as i comprehend have continuously been, the minority social gathering in words of voter registrations nationwide. the actually way they could take administration replaced into to excite their 'base', get them indignant, get them to the polls. The Reagan campaign did this with subject matters like abortion and prayer in colleges, gun rights, taxes, and a number of different issues. Reagan even suggested he couldn't be elected actually via Republicans yet via 'Democrats for Reagan'. on account that then, partisanship has performed a larger and bigger area, and partisan bitterness and animosity has grown superior and bigger significant. So i'm satisfied to be certain a minimum of one polldisplaying that partisanship is going away again. It hasn't actually served us o.k..

I have been an independent since I was old enough to vote although I have voted in both Republican and Democratic primaries. In those cases I was voting against a candidate. For the primaries, you declare yourself, vote, then redeclare yourself as an independent.

I have always leaned more towards "moderate" for as long as I can remeber.
I like civil rights too much to be a republican, I like owning guns too much to be a democrat, and I like winning too much to be a green party member.
So I just go with whatever is most moderate or balanced at the time.

i have been a registered democrat since i turned 18 (now 45).
while i've never changed registration, there have been republicans that i have voted for.
congratulations on your change of affiliation and i hope you are happy with it. don't be bullied into re-registering as republican. change back only if you desire to do so.
