I have been an Independent for over 25 years. I have just re-registered as a Democrat, for obvious reasons. Has anyone else changed their party affliation recently and if so, why?

I am planning to remain an Independent for now. But the longer I am on here, the less likely it becomes that I will ever vote for a Republican.

While I have not changed party affiliations I believe the reason people change is quite simple. What they thought was true is not and the other party seems closer to what they believe. My personal belief is to not be affiliated with either major party but register as an independent. It has always mystified me as to why anyone would vote a straight party ticket. To me it is the same thing as the old saying, "my country right or wrong". How foolish is that. There are a lot of Jewish Germans that may tell you otherwise. One of the most important things we do is to try to insure we have the best, and honest, candidate in office. If you don't think what they do can hurt you if your wrong, you better think again. We were the first country to try that novel approach to government and we do so take it for granted.

Yes, I have just recently changed my party affiliation. I have been a democrat all my life and this time around I was disappointed in the options given.

I still consider myself to be an independent, but my liberal beliefs are overwhelming. So, I am more Liberal than anything.

I am independent. Dems and Reps are to corrupt for my taste, however I have views that are both conservative and liberal.

I used to be Dem but switched to Rep
The Dem's are to wishy washy and want to give us away to everyone else. I hate that.
Although Bush in the recent years I think secretly changed from Rep to Dem too =/

Not recently...but I use to be Democrat, but change to Republican. Found that most of my beliefs were in line with the Repubs......beliefs like personal responsibility, standing on my own two feet, never looking for the government to babysit me..stuff like that.
