I'm a libertarian conservative, but in order to achieve political harmony in the system I vote Republican most often.
Basically, that means I am libertarian, but with a little l - not the whacked out crazy motherfuckers with the big L - and that I am conservative.
Party loyalty is second to doctrine or theory to me.
Edited to add: I'm a Ronaldus Magnus Republican, not a McCain the RINO Republican. I believe government is usually the problem, not the solution.I'm your huckleberry...

I am just beginning my political education. Grossly irresponsible of me but it is what it is. I have chosen Independant. With all the political hoopla it is hard to say which of the main parties are telling the complete truth and have the morals and principals that I agree with. I like to have a stand where I can make up my mind without feeling obligated to vote because of a "party". If I want to have a party I'll grab a beer and watch a rerun of COPS.
Do not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me

I am affiliated with the candidate most closely representing my beliefs. In the trend throughout and for a time following the Reagan years, I have voted Republican, and remained registered as such.
Above all party affiliation, I am a conservative. For a detailed list of what that means to me:

"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money."
- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind
To war and arms I fly. - Lovelace

I am a conservative. That used to mean the Republican party but I don't know anymore. I believe in lesser gov't, lower taxes, less regulations, etc. Seems to me now that both major parties are increasing the size of gov't, one is just doing it slower then the other.

Like Mac said, I look at the candidate and I vote my principles. Most often it's Libertarian or Republican.

Registered Independent who votes for the candidate with which I agree with most. That hasn't included many Democrats this decade.
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

Registered Constitution Party member who recently left the Republican Party. Very conservative beliefs and value system. Voted for Chuck Baldwin for President, but had to vote for Norm Coleman (R-MN) for Senate here because there's no way on God's green earth that I want Al Franken to be my senator.

Republican but not a McCain Republican - I held my nose when I voted for him.
I STILL wish Newt Gingrich had won the primaries. I think he's more of a Reagan Republican than Reagan himself ever was.
