No, it means not everyone who is against gay marriage, a welfare state, and doean't want to give terrorists a great big hug votes Republican. There are Democrats who longer support the party because of the extreme left turn it has made, but don't want to support the Republicans either.
That is why the Democrats don't have a hope anytime soon, they keep alienating the centrists.

I tend to think that the majority of the people on this board make a good living, are affluent, and most importantly intelligent. On that basis I would assume that the majority of us here are Republicans ;)

Actually, it's the Republican Party which moves continually farther away from the center. The Democratic Platform in each of the last four Presidential elections has been remarkably centrist.
What do you know about American politics, anyway? You live in Canada.

I Stop, Look & Listen to the offerings we're given every two years, and vote using the results of the best information I can get on a candidate.
This last election was a very disappointing day for me.
Side not:
Why isn't election day a Holiday?
Why don't they make it last two, even three days, so everyone can get to their polling place? The first day being a day off like Christmas Day. That way, I think there would be a true counting of the total amount of Americans who wanted to vote.

Sorry Spanky, you're on my hook.
Not only do I "call myself" libertarian, I'm officially registered in NYS as such (a right, btw, that NY's Democratand Republican parties tried to block for years 'til they finally lost in court...).
I'm opposed to eminent domain most of the time and totally opposed to it when it is used to transfer property to private entities.
I'm 100% opposed to using public funds to support sports stadiums. A waste of taxpayers' money that has NEVER been shown to help local economies.
I'm opposed to the government having a role in running my life. Period.
Socialized medicine is evil and doesn't work. Cheap health care is not a "fundamental human right", no matter how many times the U.N. says it is. Doctors, hospitals, and pharmeceutical companies provide a service and deserve to get paid without hand-wringing whiners demanding that they provide those services cheaply.
Any taxation policy that attempts to redistribute income within the population in the name of alleged "fairness" is frigging evil.
The Dept. of Education is constitutionally questionable at best and should be abolished.
Like a lot of folks here, despite being a registered and dues-paying member of a party, I don't drink the Kool-Aid when it comes to their entire platform. I'd really rather not have the free market deal with things like meat inspections, elevator inspections, etc.
And hey, as an alum of a SUNY college, I'm kinda supportive of that, as well as student loans...
Hey, I'm willing to compromise my political grandstanding if it benefits myself and my family :)

I'll vote for the person that I believe is going to make my city, state, or country better.
I have voted for the Republican candidate in every presidential election so far. But I wouldn't rule out voting for a Dem if the plan they presented looked good to me.

How's this plan?

Check out the party breakdown in Congress lately?
And I got the age thing.

Bullshit.
The reason the GOP is always seeming to be waring against itself is because they compose a multiplicity of views.
Unlike the Left-Turn-Only POP.

It only seems that way 'cause the POP is out of power in all three branches.
The Dems tend to break ranks much more than the GOP under a Dem pres., and vice versa, no?
They seem to be threatening a nucleur meltdown to protect their steanglhold on the judiciary. With no appearant dissent. And there is nowhere near the type of disagreements as in the top levels of the GOP. Look at the arguments over border control for example.
Man, Democrats are so cool that even when Republicans win, they just wanna be Democrats at heart. :roll:
