[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2092376, member: 24459"] So belonging to a party comes down to how you identify yourself and what you support. Example; Some claim to be Libertarian yet dont support Libertarian ideals, such as gay marriage or abortion. You can call yourself Libertarian but really your just looking for a group to join that meets some of your ideals. Why do people feel the need to identify with a particular party? I think its because alot of people dont want to be called a Dem or Repub, so they claim Libertarian. As an "I" you can take the best ideals of any party and your need to self identify would hold more true. At least ya wouldnt sound or feel like a hypocrit. In reality its "ok" to be a socially conservative Dem or Liberal Repub or even a Big Gov Libertarian but it sounds hyprocritical. So what is a "lower case" L? A person who just wants to self identify as belonging to a group. Being allied to these parties only leads to disapointment with politics. Set yourself free and register as an Independent and let the parties die a death of no members. I'll vote my conscience in the general and concede the primaries to the statists. The fastest growing voting block are Independents, ya gotta wonder why? [/QUOTE]
