There are a wide range of beliefs among Republicans just as there is a equally wide range of beliefs among Democrats. Neither party (and not a single Politician) is right 100% of the time.

We need to think as Americans....not as Republicans or Democrats. Our country would be so much better off if our leaders based their decisions on what is best for our country instead of what is best for them as individuals or as a party.

I think we would be able to make tremendous progress, solve problems, and create a much better world if we could operate without regard to political parties.

I used to be a Demonrat. In fact, there were some who looked to me to run for Congress and so forth when I was active in the Party. Once I started my first business I became an independent because I saw what liberal policy does to shut down small businesses, although the Demonrats are always saying how they support the little guy. In fact, if you'll read the Owen-Glass Act you'll find out just how much the liberals are in bed with large multi-national corporations and giving them handouts.

The reason you've probably never heard any of this is becuase the same folks who own the Federal Reserve also own, by controlling the majority stock, nearly all the mainstream media in the United States. You're too young to remember, but during the entire Clinton Administration the United States continually bombed Iraq and had military conflict in Bosnia, Haiti, Somalia and other places as well although the (objective?) mainstream media failed to harp on Clinton's war machine the way they do with Bush's.

I've been a liberal activist, a Demonrat, an independent/libertarian and now I'm a conservative Christian Republican/libertarian. If you'll look around Congressman Ron Paul best represents where I am politically.

You're going to make up your own mind. That's the way it is and that's the way it should be. The question is: how much will you allow the mainstream media, the owners of the Federal Reserve and all the parrots out there who simply repeat what they've heard to influence you?

I am a Democrat. Kucinich for President in 2008! Seriously though, it is intriguing to see a man who's bumper stickers have a globe as one of the zeros in 2008 and the other 0 a peace sign (think world peace!)

Regardless of what I am, you should become politically involved, especially since you are 16 now. If you will be turning 17 this year and then presumably 18 in 2008, you will have the opportunity to vote for the next president as well as congressional, state, and local races. In addition, if you are turning 18 before the 2008 general election, there is a good chance you can have the opportunity to vote in the presidential primary in 2008, even if you will be 17 at the time of the primary election. Contact your local Board of Elections or Google them and find their website for information on how to register to vote and whether or not your state allows such a thing. (Ohio does for sure)

I am now 20 years old, and voting for the first time in the 2004 presidential primary was empowering and helped spark a strong interest in politics. Regardless of whether you decide to be Democrat, Republican, Independent, or Other, you should get involved and informed now. The decisions being made today will have a big effect on our future (debt, war, etc.)

I am a pragmatist independent! I am liberal, though I have voted for many Republican candidates in local elections I haven't seen a Republican I would vote for on a National basis!

Democrat. I used to be independent, but I no longer want to split the vote and allow the Republicans to continue holding office.

Republican!

By the way, Independent isn't really a party. It's just a way to divide and waste votes. Think Ross Perot...

For the most part I am republican. The only thing that occasionally swings me to the left wing are idiotic Conservatives trying to make the pretense that they have any capacity to run a country. (This is a direct reference to president Bush)

neither. I am an extremely conservative Independent. Usually vote GOP, but always voted for one of our Democrat senators: Senator Graham, of Florida.
