I'm also politically independent so I'm not a fan of either the Democrats in Congress or the Republicans in Congress.

I didn't realize that running as an independent would be perceived as a threat to the Democrats.

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.

Temperamentally, I am suspicious of belonging to anything. When I ran for office, I debated seriously whether or not to run as an independent because I was not eager to be saddled with the Democratic Party, because any party label is committing.

I am a Democrat. But I am an independent Democrat.

I'm an independent, but I got to admit I lean Democratic.

I'm not a Democrat, I'm an Independent, but I caucus with the Democrats.

I've been a Democrat, I've been a Republican, and I eventually became an independent because I don't believe either party has a monopoly on good ideas or strong leadership.

I'm personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I'm not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.

I'm an independent, straight in the middle. I've donated to candidates that I thought would be good that are Republican and Democrats alike.
