• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

I don't really have a "political affiliation".

My views vary from issue to issue.

For example, I'm likely somewhere close (even I’m not entirely sure) to a:
Gay rights/marriage/DADT libertarian/liberal.
Fiscal libertarian/conservative/something that doesn't have a label.
Abortion libertarian/conservative.

You see how confusing to people it would be if I claimed a specific political affiliation.

So, Independent.
 
My political affiliation does not define me.

Rather, I define my political affiliation.
 
What a chicken and egg question.

My values largely shape my political affiliation. A person's character is defined by their values.
 
I don't really have a political affiliation. However my politics is defined by my faith, and my faith is something I want to define me. So indirectly you could say my political affiliation (or lack thereof) defines me.

You see this is not true though. The political parties will define how they are this is why you have people become independents or shift parties in the first place. Look at Regan for example.
 
Politics has a huge impact on my life, but I don't identify with either party, nor either "side" as it's portrayed in the media.
