GOP (except Ron Paul faction ) is spoiled teenage party
They now totally lost common sense. They drove out all those rational, Moderate elements and become frozen, rigid pure politician machine.

The GOP has lost its credibility and is thrashing around like a bucket of fish out of water. They've been taken over by religious radicals and I'll have nothing to do with them again until they regain their sanity and start acting like adults.
The question is simple....Are you a Democrat, Republican or 3rd party? (I love election years!!!)
Explain why?
Your Poll is a failure since many of us belong to No Party. No Party represents my stand on all the issues so hence I will not join one. Build a new Party based on moderate thinking, common sense and what is good for the Nation and not on Party power and you will get my attention.
A reluctant Democrat. My sympathies are basically libertarian, but the most important thing now is to keep the warmongers, creationists and other loons out of power.

I see both of the mainstream parties as two sides of the same worthless coin. Both sides show a different face, but it's still the same worthless coin. Besides, two parties is just one more than a dictatorship and just as easily controlled by the real powers that be.
Both the democrat and republicans are controlled by big business and big money. Every person in the senate or house is a millionaire or soon will be. Their top priority is re-elections and the simple rule is, those with the most money will win. These politicians, with few exceptions, are nothing more than the puppets of the wealthy. It is long overdue that America gets rid of these bums.
The time for a new party is now. We need people who will represent the majority of Americans and not the 1% who now control the country.

Unfortunately the media is mostly controlled by that faction as well. A third party would get subdued coverage.
[SIZE=3]I usually vote for the side I lean to or stumble on to, whenever I have had a few cocktails. But I do think, however, we need more than two parties, just like they have in other parts of the world. I believe there will be less gridlock as you can now see.

I'm still waiting for a candidate from ANY party which has a plan for (a) dealing with the financial system mess we're in, (b) getting credible manufacturing moving back into the US, (c) clamping down on greedy employers who take advantage of illegals working for them, and (d) dealing with becoming energy self sufficiency so we can give the Middle East the finger. Unfortunately, haven't seen anyone from any party pitch anything credible, so we're basically screwed.
In the mean time, the majority of the US would rather talk about pranks Obama and Obomney did in high school. Apparently, the US has become a nation ruled by a very small group of ultra greedy smart people bamboozling a nation full of retards.
