I'm registered as an independent, and tend to look with equal disdain on both major parties with equal disdain. Well, actually, I dislike the republican party more, but that's probably just because they're the ones in power at the moment, were it democrats, I'm sure I'd be railing against them more. I used to call myself a liberal, and I guess many would still use that to describe my political beliefs, but I also support a number of causes that could be described as conservative (scaling back gun control, less government spending, etc). I guess my political stance could be described as not left, not right, and not really in the middle either.

I'm tired of the polarization of this country, and I wish people would vote based on issues rather than party affiliation. Our politicans are overwhelmingly corrupt, no matter what party they belong to, and I'd say a good 99% of them need to just be removed from office and replaced with people who can actually get something done.
