As a political independent, I would gladly vote for any political party dedicated to limited government and entrepreneurship.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If elected, I would not be the mere president of a party - I would endeavor to act independent of party domination and should feel bound to administer the government untrammeled by party schemes.
I'm not going to join any party. If I do vote again, and if I do become, you know, politically active, it will be independent.
I would consider myself a rather staunch libertarian.
I guess you'd call me an independent, since I've never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label.
I'd like to see a Republican Party that embraces a lot of the libertarian ideas.
I'm an independent, but I got to admit I lean Democratic.
I'm a registered independent. I don't really believe in political parties. Bottom line: Mitt Romney's tax policy helps me. But I can't stomach seeing somebody go hungry or somebody not being able to get an education because I want more. So, I'm supporting Barack Obama.
Democracy, if it meant what our forefathers said, that would be great, but unfortunately it's been corrupted by this funding and funding of campaigns. There's a much better way to do it. There could be a small amount of money given by every taxpayer to be dedicated to candidates.
In no case can I permit myself to be a candidate of any party or yield myself to any party schemes.
What I would like to vote for is a candidate that is socially liberal, a fiscal conservative, broadly libertarian with a small 'l' but sensible and pragmatic and with a chance of winning. That's more or less the empty set.
