    Default Does anyone know a good political party...

    other than the Democrat or Republican parties. I hate them both. Almost equally. There has to be something better out there.

    I belong to the Independent Party. We have no organizational structure, hold no caucuses, and have no party agenda. We are free to lean left or right depending on the issues, and can straddle the fence as much as we want.

    Feel free to join!

    Choosing between Republican and Democrat is pretty much a matter of who you think is less evil, and corrupt.

    I am also registered as an Independent. Yay for me.

    I'm a registered Independant, but consider myself more of a Libertarian than a Conservative. In FL it sucks, because I cant vote in primaries. GA was different. They have open primaries. Which FYI is why Cynthia McKinney got the boot.

    If the Libertarians ever got organized enough, I'd register as one.

    I agree with you there, ever since that political part test was posted, I have read up a little on the Liberatarians and like what I've found so far.

    If a viable Libertarian candidate ever comes to fruition, there is a good chance I would vote for him/her. I do have some problems with their platform, I disagree with their foreign policy and I would not legalize hard drugs (though I would stop wasting money on the drug war).

    One thing I will do for sure is look to see if there are local libratarian candidates and vote for them on the local level. I know right now, a third party candidate has no chance on the national level.

    He was right. It's just which group of millionaires to you want.

    Yes, I do understand that, but I also understand that there is no one party that will cater to all of my views.
    I have many conservative views and many liberal views, but one thing is for sure, I dislike the Democrats and the Republicans.

    This is a great site for libertarian views on issues.
