independant political party?

The Independent Party takes more of a centrist view - sort of middle ground between the left (Democrats) and right (Republicans)  They are more of a consensus builder than a hard party line group (that is why Republicans and Democrats hate them)   They tend to vote more on the issues rather than down party lines  What many people do not know is that their values are pretty damn good ---- strong on defense and terrorism  (Republican issues/positions)--- fiscal conservatives (will not give tax breaks to republican rich but will also not give away money to every social program there is  (True centrist issue and position)- believe in a balanced budget ----strong on education and environment (Democratic issues/position)\n\nYou want to learn more of centrist views - seek out speeches and writings of the MN Governor-Wrestler Jessee Ventura\n\nI believe and hope that the new 3rd party that will ultimately emerge is the Centrist or Independent Party --- we certainly need one to bring the Republicans and Democrats together to get something worthwhile done

If it is a Primary election, you can't vote on a candidate unless you are a member of that candidate's party. Being independant, you do not belong to any party and therefore you can't be involved in your party nominating a candidate. But you'll be able to vote in the regular election.

There is indeed more than just republican and democrat. Although there isnt a "christian" political party there are parties that are highly based off of christian beleifs... youll just have to look for them.

Republican\n\nthe Democratic party has taken on too many "fringe" organizations and has alienated people who used to vote independently.\n\nIndependents can't raise the money needed

oh wow!  There are 2 major parties in the United States. Democrats and Republicans. Some democrats, well usually most, no offence, can be liberals. Sometimes, they are liberals. Republicans are representated by an elephant. Go to the national republican or national democrat websites to learn about their history and facts. It is pretty interesting.

I am an active supporter of many democratic party candidates, and I am a christian.  I have been upset with the Republican party in previous years for claiming to be the religious party or "the party of god".  I believe in seperation of church and state and I know there are others out there like me.

The people who say this are confusing this Democratic party with the Democratic party of FDR.  Simply put, its a totally different party.  The current Dem. party is the party of no idea, the party of obstruction and the anti-Juedo-Christian values party.

Yes, just to back up Solvek. I believe they are officially called something like 'Her Majesty's Government's Loyal Opposition'. They are the party who came second in the British 'first past the post' system of general elections. There may be other opposition parties present too i.e. the other non-winners, but the term 'opposition' is commonly restricted to the no.2 party in the House of Commons.

Somebody good like McCain should run as an Independent!  The partisan politics of the Democrats and Republicans seems to cause a lot of nothing getting done for the sake of toeing the party line.  I feel we need someone who can breach the impasse(s) that these parties seem to have caused over the years by uniting individuals from the "ruling" parties to take an active part in government.  The current system needs some kind of "spanking" and only an independent can do it; I feel McCain is the man.

Nominal Republican, but I have voted Libertarian in the past.  Given the fact that I really don't care for government and am able to handle most problems on my own, I can't see myself voting for a party that loves to be Big Brother like the socialist Democrats do.

The problem is the powerful 2 party system. Democrats and Republicans muscle out "independents" and leave us with a choice between 2 entire sets of beliefs.  We're forced to pick a party that fits us even if we disagree with much of the platform.  If we could level the playing field and encourage competition, the power would shift from the major parties to the people.

Look at both sides of each party, identify with which sides holds your beliefs and there you go. You can also be an independant which means you do not subscribe to a particular political party and just vote for whoever you identify yourself with more at the time of election.
