Oopsie, I've always thought of myself as a conservative and an independent just like Trisham. For example, if the GOP nominates Romney, who occasionally wears the republican t-shirt but is a big-government liberal at heart, I will not support him or vote for him. Now that I know it's not allowed, I'll have to rethink my values or my declared party, I suppose.
I am an independent (it's Bushs' fault) and a conservative. If Sara is in, I'll go back to being a repub.
