Interesting that 47% lean democrat or are democrat. That number sounds familiar ...
I wonder, if there was a “Conservative” party what the numbers for identification with that would be?
I am a Conservative Independent after a lifetime of being screwed by the republican party.
I’m not a Republican, I am a conservative with strong libertarian leanings.
Good!
Hopefully a whole buncha real Americans among them !!!!!!!

With the two parties now incapable of doing anything other than get in pissing contests it’s not a surprise the mushy middle is growing.
I’m an ex Repub.
Forced into the independent column by totally inept cojone-less country club idiots. Boehner et al can assume room temp not soon enough.
Doesn’t matter. The fix is in for Hillary.
In five years, the Democrat party has proven to be incapable of governing. All areas of foreign policy are screwed up. All areas of domestic policy are screwed up. And the Republicans are afraid.
The Democrats are on the floor with the referee giving them the ten-count, and the Republicans are desperately trying to crawl under them while yelling at the ref that they went down first. Remarkable.
I’m a registered Whig.
Were not even on the chart.
I have always voted conservative in the primaries and the straight GOP ticket in the general and never once had a regret.
I think most people who claim to be independent or moderate are probably liberals.
The last real conservative Democrat I am aware of was the late Congressman Larry McDonald D-GA who was brutally murdered by the Communists on board KAL Flight 007 in 1983.
And of course voting third party accomplishes nothing other than helping to elect Democrats. Period.
After the 2008 Election the wife and i changed Registration from the GOP to NPA( No Party affiation) in Florida. We can vote but not in GOP primary. Since there are seldom any “conservative “ GOP running or anybody I would vote for has not made a difference.
I refuse to vote for RINOS. I sleep well at night.
I am a Conservative Christian First, believe in the values that the Founding Fathers believed in and if some GOP canidate expresses those values. I might vote for them.
I did not leave the Repulican Party. They left me
Freegards

well, the D’s have been taken over by a pro-IslamoNazi gang of communistic liars
and
the R’s are “led” largely by a bunch of enablers, facilitators, even supporters of the above...
“Independent” sounds better and better every day....
Count me as an I.
I’d rather loose a nut than vote D, will likely never vote R again. Fot that matter I may never vote again and endorse the system.
I guess I’m an “I” now. Certainly don’t see where the Republican Party shares any of my values or beliefs anymore. The GOP appears as antogonistic towards them as the Dems do nowadays. The nomination of rancid candidates (McCain, Romney), plus the betrayals by Rubio/Ryan, etc., all took their toll.
The thing, however, that really first caused me to sever my lifelong affiliation to the GOP was watching the backstabbing treatment given Palin, though. The sheer dishonor and disloyalty that the Party demonstrated towards her made me lose every last bit of trust and respect I had for them.
I was a registered “Independent” voter all of my life, at least until 2008. The Independent Party is currently a “Registered” party. Now, I’m an “Unaffiliated” voter.
Scrooge all these labels—its coming down to either one chooses good or evil for direction.
I should add to my previous post that I voted exclusively Republican my entire voting life. Every primary and every general election. I’d go down the list, and vote “R” for every single office, every single time. For almost three decades. Last year that stopped. I voted only for two candidates, whom I knew were 100% “tea party.” I left the rest of the ballots (including the presidential one) blank.
Good going, GOP. I “remember” your 2012 convention, in which the words “tea party” were outlawed, and you told Palin to get lost. It cost you my vote, my family’s votes, and two of my friend’s votes.
I’m a conservative who votes for the most conservative candidate. I am not, nor have I ever been a member of the republican party. I haven’t voted for a democrat since 1976.
