Not BHO that's for sure. And not the current GOP either.

As to your heading question:
Count me as a registered Independent, not affiliated with either of the two major political parties which in reality are just two sides of the same coin.

i vote for who i think would do the best job. i have not voted democrat in years and i was right.

It reminds me of Ike. I lived through his administration as a youngster. Ike at least was an honorable man--unlike the lying, whimpering, menace that now plagues our once great country.

I'm one of those guys that wouldn't admit it if I was. That's my own business!

LOOK AT THE CURRENT PLATFORMS

DEMOCRATS WANT TO DISARM US

REPUBLICANS AT LEAST SAY THEY DON'T WANT TO DISARM US

I am closer to an Independent but for sure I am not a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT as all they want to do is destroy the constitution and take from those who have worked for it and give it to those who have no desire to improve they standing in life. Jim

We hold that the protection of the freedom of men requires that budgets be balanced, waste in government eliminated, and taxes reduced.

What happened to that plank.......

LOL! Depends on the definition! I'm a registered Republican, but haven't voted for one in the General Presidential election since the Liberal GW Bush. In Oregon, one can only vote in the primary if a member of that party. I voted for the only true Constitutionalist in the Republican Presidential primary in 2008 and 2012. He didn't win

I still vote for a majority of Republicans at state and local elections. Along with some Libertarian or Constitution party candidates. I would even vote for a Democrat if they believed in the Constitution and voted as such. (Hard to find one of those since John Kennedy)

I guess I'm a Republican, that won't vote for a Liberal, regardless of the party.

I dont consider myself a republican but I'll be damned if I will ever vote for a racist, hate mongering, freedom robbing democrat at any level of government.

DDZ · « **Reply #10 on:** March 08, 2013, 10:03:04 AM »

I'm a registered Republican, but that doesn't mean I vote Republican party all the time. I have voted for independents and members of the Constitution party, but never voted for a democrat. I always vote for who I think has the best character, is honest, and who I think is most apt to abide by the Constitution, and a democrat has never fallen under those guidelines. Anymore there aren't many republicans that do either.

ChungDoQuan · « **Reply #11 on:** March 08, 2013, 12:31:00 PM »

So, I guess the real question is who read the article?

Oldshooter · « **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2013, 02:35:32 PM »

I guess you didn't read the posts. Or you didn't like what you read. I read it and ifyoumean that the democrat platform sounds republican. Yea back then when the democrats did represent the " working man" a lot of folk down here in God's country voted democrat, heck some still do saying " that was my daddy's party and it will be mine......right up until they see what the lefties are up to. You wouldn't believe how many dem candidates have jumped party affiliation since 08.

Not only that read jfk's stuff back then, he wouldn't fit in very well now.

JOHN Fn KENEDY

would be looked at today as far to right to even be a republican

my mom is a democrat because her dad was a democrat

i was a libertarian because my dad[rebublican] raised me to do the right thing

then became a republican when i got a brain and realized they will never win
and libertatians did much to help democrats...by splitting up true freedom voters

Swampman · « **Reply #14 on:** March 08, 2013, 02:48:43 PM »

I'd never vote for a Democrat. I vote straight Republican but I'm not sure I'm a Republican. A Christian cannot vote for a Democrat.

so many good people couldn't lower themselves like us to vote for romnee or mccain

that we got OBUMER......... how smart is that

as sorry as those 2 were might have been....they were far better than obumer

at least romnee was a business man....and thats realy what we needed

if people need a presicent to be a religious leader.....they must not have much faith

Uhm, the POINT I was making is that the Republicans then sound like the Democrats NOW. How some here got that completely ack basswards is a mystery to me.

Chung you are gonna have to be specific , didn't sound that way to me but I don't have the expertise in talking points that you might have. Copy and paste what YOU think sounds like democrats. Might be interesting and enlightening.

It's YOUR party's platform...

Some favorites:

"We are proud of and shall continue our far-reaching and sound advances in matters of basic human needs—expansion of social security—broadened coverage in unemployment insurance —improved housing—and better health protection for all our people. We are determined that our government remain warmly responsive to the urgent social and economic problems of our people.

We hold that the strict division of powers and the primary responsibility of State and local governments must be maintained, and that the centralization of powers in the national Government leads to expansion of the mastery of our lives...

America does not prosper unless all Americans prosper.

Government must have a heart as well as a head.

We also propose:

Additional technical research in problems of development and distribution for the benefit of small business;

Legislation to enable closer Federal scrutiny of mergers which have a significant or potential monopolistic connotations;

Procedural changes in the antitrust laws to facilitate their enforcement;

Simplification of wage reporting by employers for purposes of social security records and income tax withholding;

Continuance of the vigorous SEC policies which are providing maximum protection to the investor and maximum opportunity for the financing of small business without costly red tape.

Furthermore, the process of free collective bargaining has been strengthened by the insistence of this Administration that labor and management settle their differences at the bargaining table without the intervention of the Government. This policy has brought to our country an unprecedented period of labor-management peace and understanding.

We shall continue vigorously to support the United Nations. "

There are quite a few more points that the Republican Party has abandoned in recent years. These are just a few.

I am not a republican, but don't like that much,

I have voted for republicans in the past, and may again, can't see any chance of voting for a democrat in this life. Unless they were strict constitutionalist, bordering on libertarian

Other than not liking the United Nations, my personal opinion , looks good to me.

I don't see your point, the part about all Americans prospering is and was the goal. They just think there is a better way than redistribution of wealth I hope, don't really know what they stand for today.

Now all that being said, the republicans of today wouldn't make a good pimple on the behind of men like Ike and Ronnie. Or JFK for that matter. But of course neither would barry, Harry Reid or any of their accomplices.
