Personally, I believe that you can, but with the continued emergence of new parties it is becoming difficult.

I would consider myself to be non partisan mainly because I vote based on issues, not party ideologies.

Bret*** In regard to your question, I would define partisan as someone who supports and votes for those within the party which they personally belong to, whether they hold similar beliefs or not.

Yes.
Start by not belonging to or being a supported of either major political party, and ideally no party at all.
Next, make your decisions based on the actual facts, obtained through research and multiple sources. Be willing to re-evaluate your conclusions if you get new facts.
Next, don't believe something just because you were told to. Think for yourself. Treat people as individuals, and not as pawns within a block category or group.
This may not work in every situation, but it would go a long way towards results that were independent of any party agenda.

If you define "non-partisan" as simply not supporting something solely because a certain party does, or the other way around, then you are an Independent, like me.
That said, you can certainly tend to come to similar conclusions that one party or another does. In my instance, I tend to agree with the Republicans on most issues, though not all.
So, how do YOU define partisan?

No, you may fall somewhere in the middle but in the end you will pick a side. New parties seldom go anywhere. Look at what happened to the Reform Party, I was a member for a while and it collapsed.

Of course, I may be registered Republican but I'm not going to support everything they say just because they're Republicans. Why is it so hard to look at issues for what they are and not for which party is supporting/opposing them?

It is not possible unless you are a pansy who is everything to everybody and says what people want to hear rather than what you believe.

I don't think so. we like to identify the who is with us and who is not group.

No, & it never has been, unless you don't have a political philosophy.
