Welcome to the Forum......

You have to register your political affiliation?  How does that work?

In some states, when you register to vote, you have to pick a party, or pick independent.  Not all states do. I live in Texas and we don't here.

For anyone curious, the reason I vote republican is I've been a business person for the past 20+ years and that's the main issue that concerns me in politics.

So, you vote for the party that puts people out of work so they have no money to buy your products?  How does that work?

For the record, fuck no I ain't no goddamn Republican.  To be sure, I'm not exactly happy with the Democratic party.  But hell, clearly the Democrats are better than the Republicans.  They suck, sure. But substantially less.

I am leaning toward our reptilian masters..I wanna be in line for the good spots when they take over......

You must think I stalk you just to "like" your posts, because I almost always seem to feel compelled to do so.

You need to get outa the habit of that because I will never return the favor. I don't care for that system. But thanks anyway, but…er….no thanks…  :)

 It's like the internet version of laughing. Or. Something.

1. I seem to have more likes than most which means either I've been here too long (probably) or I just say the right stuff. I'm sure somebody (probably APA) will set me straight. 

B. They want you to register by party here in Utah, but I always register independent. You register Democrat you go on the NSA scrutiny list. 

III. I really would like to see what the OP's take on the Republican candidacy for president. Silly me.

Well thank GOD this schlub was a drive by rube.. Or at least I'm praying to Her Dental Deity, The Tooth Fairy..

I'm convinced aitm is just trolling us.. Such an abuse of mod power..

That's one of the major factions, but not the only faction.

Yeah, but the right-wing Christians are pretty much the nuts and bolts of the Republican Party these days.  And the ongoing doubling down on social issues that are both lost causes and pet causes of the religious reich isn't exactly wowing moderates, let alone atheists who find the idea of a Jesus Party abhorrent.

There is a libertarian faction of the Repubelican party, but they are far outnumbered by the neocons, who in turn are far outnumbered by the theocons. The party is the party of Bile-thumpers, gawd-bleaters and Jeezus freaks. Their party is the party of Christinsanity.

Oh come now. we may be a cache of liberals, closeted or otherwise, but healthy debate on politics from a Republican atheist in my view would be interesting. I honestly didn't know such things existed..........

I'm not a big fan of republicans, and I didn't like how this guy blamed games for causing violence, but we may have been too hard on him too early.

[PickelledEggs]

I don't vote Republican... or Democrat, for that matter. I'm an ardent believer in 3rd-party voting, even if people think it's pointless.

It is pointless, but I do it anyway.

[PickelledEggs]

I really came late to this party, huh? Lol
