A poll: What political party do you associate your self with?

[Kylo Ren]

For quite some time I've been interested in the demographics of Chiefs Planet. I don't really have a reason. I'm just interested in seeing the results. Obviously, you don't have to particpate, but it works better if many do. You don't have to comment, but you are welcome to.

Here's the second poll question: What political party do you think you would most associate with and/or most agree with?

I'm not asking which party you are registered with. I'm not asking which party you would support. I'm just asking which political party most closely represents you and your political leanings. Even if you don't like any political party and even if you don't believe it political parties, you should know which party's platform is closest to your own political beliefs.

I would guess that this BB is pretty divided down the middle. I would guess, and this is just a shot in the dark, 35% Republican, 30% Democrat, 25% Independant, 10% Other.

I'm only going to post four options. Everyone should fall into one of the four categories.

Clarification: I don't think Independant is an actual party. I could be wrong. I think it's just a category for someone who wants to run for office and not declare a party affiliation. If I'm wrong, feel free to post a correction.

BTW, when I'm done posting polls, I'll post all the results in one thread. I think it will be interesting to see "who we are".

I'm sorry, but I won't be posting any Gaz options.

I somewhat agree with you.

LMAO.


I would have to consider myself more independent than not.

Just FYI.......there is no Independant party.

There is "Decline to State" and "American Independent".

I'm pretty liberal, and will most likely always vote Dem. But I refuse to join a party.

i always wind up nekked or pissing on the furniture so i don't get invited to many parties anymore.

The next time I have to move one of your threads to DC, you won't be starting threads anymore.

[Kylo Ren]

This is NOT a political thread. It's a demographic poll. I announce that I would be posting a series of polls almost two weeks ago. I'm not looking for political commentary in this thread. There's not much difference than my other two previous polls. This will only be a political thread if someone other than me makes is such. This is just a social experiment. I will also be posting polls about age, religion, and other topics.

[ClevelandBronco]

Vote — Republican

Lean — Libertarian

[Fat Elvis]

This thread is Bush's fault.

No. It is Obama's fault.

No, this thread is a result of the Fed printing too much money.

No, this thread is Ayn Rand's fault.

No. This thread is really a terroristic threat from Al Queda.

No. This thread has been outsourced to China and probably contains lead paint.

Social experiment? What is your hypothesis?

[Kylo Ren]

So far, the Democrat and Independant results surprise me most. But, in my view, many Independants are probably Democrats. Who knows? I'm not Frank Luntz! I'm sure the results will tighten up over the next day or two. The initial results are always skewed until more data comes in.

You just don't pay a whole lot of attention to Kansas (or western missouri) politics, do you?

That doesn't really prove anything, though.

[Kylo Ren]

You just don't pay a whole lot of attention to Kansas (or western missouri) politics, do you? My theory, based on a wild guess, is that Missouri is pretty evenly split between D & R, at least in the last few Pres. elections. Then, I figured that Kansas leans a little R. Then, I figured that there would be about 1/3 who don't like D or R and associate themselves elsewhere. Pretty simple. It's just a guess.

[Kylo Ren]

That doesn't really prove anything, though. It will prove that my guess was right, wrong, close or far off. Nothing more than that. It's just for fun. I find this kid of thing interesting. I have a degree in Political Science with minors in communication, American history and public administration. I've never been good at math, but statistics have always been interesting to me.

You do realize that half of the votes on these polls are just people trying to screw with the results, right?

[Slainte]

What political party was Nicolae Ceauşescu again? - cause although I'm officially NPA - that's one I think I could get behind...

[Ebolapox]

honestly, I'm probably like the majority of the people in the USA--there are some things I lean liberal on, there are some things I lean conservative on. nobody except the (low percentage) sides of the bell curve is a strict democrat or conservative.

I lean closest to libertarian. as such, I'm pissed at my country most of the time.

[Mr. Kotter]

Wow....you'd never know this "distribution" by what goes on over in D.C. :hmmm:

Unless most Dems are claiming "independent" cause they are too pussified to claim "democrat"....yeah, that's probably it, now that I think about it.

[vailpass]

If I'da known it was gonna' be this kinda' party I'da stuck my dick in the mashed potatoes.

[Kylo Ren]

You do realize that half of the votes on these polls are just people trying to screw with the results, right? Oh, I'm sure there's some shennanigans going on. But, overall, I think the results will be mostly accurate. The shennanigans will probably balance out and go both ways.

[Kylo Ren]

Who knew this board leans overwhelmingly right. LMAO Because this board is mostly white and mostly male, it makes statistial sense that the majority would ID with the Republican party. Statistically, that is.

That line of thinking doesn't even make logical sense.

That line of thinking doesn't even make logical sense. Actually it does make some sense. It happens with a lot of Presidents.

I pick the party with the most kegs...you wouldn't want to run out before the nights over.

[Kylo Ren]

The Dems are surging. The race is tightening..... as suspected would happen.

[Phobia]

I'm unaligned with any party. Used to be right leaning but now I think they're all crooks and our system is broken. If I'm anything, my ideals most resemble Libertarian but I don't want to be labeled with them either. I'm in the "it's broken, fire them all, ditch the lobbyists/special interests, and start from scratch" party.

[Sully]

You really think people have no problem making their political views known in thread after thread, arguing their point of view ad nauseum... But at the same time are too "pussified" to admit if they are a Democrat? That's ridiculous.

I would guess you're WAY off.

It's more like 2:1 Republican : Democrat.

More if half the Republicans in the country weren't calling themselves "Independents" now in disgust.

Come to the DC Forum where there are discussions of this very topic.

I hold fundraising dinners for that party every year.

[Stewie]

I vote for whomever puts the most money in my bank account. Man, I wish I were a bank, or a slovenly unemployed teet-sucker. Hey, it took alot of effort to get to the poll and actually vote for the money distributor! Ain't that enough to get a check in the mail?

[Kylo Ren]

Things are really starting to shape up now. For a while there, I wondered what was going on. The Independants are fading and the Dems are charging. The numbers are getting closer and closer to my original prediction. I'm still a little surprised that the Dems aren't a little higher, but it'll all probably balance out of the next day or two.

[Skip Towne]

I'm Presbyterian but I want in that librarian party with Booger.

[Kylo Ren]

A lot of bitter people here.......

Still time to vote!

[DaneMcCloud]

I've been a registered Independent since 1996.

I won't ever have a "party" affiliation because both parties are always doing something that pisses me off, sometimes beyond belief.

[tonyetony]

I'll join the party that passes a law forbidding you from creating stupid polls like this on a football board.

There are no "Independent" voters.....FFS.

This! Anyone that votes simply for the D or R next to the name should have their voting privileges revoked.

So you're registered as a "Decline to State" voter.

No actually on my Voter Ballet, under political affiliation, it reads "Independent".

[GoHuge]

I don't follow option A or B like a sheep so just stamping Democrat or Republican doesn't do it for me. I vote issue and for who best represents me and my beliefs. In 2004 that was really hard to do. Both douchebag nutjubs, which most are. Not a big fan of voting for the lesser of two evils in an election either. Personally I think everyone should have to pass an aptitude test to vote or reproduce. The most dangerous part of a democracy is the uneducated vote, but if you don't let the dummies vote, technically you no longer have a democracy. Tough nut to crack there. Maybe let them vote on small things like feed the homeless, but not on world issues. Save that for the commoners.

What county do you live in?

Are you sure it doesn't say "American Independent"? There are only certain "qualified" parties in Cali.

Republican
Democrat
American Indepent
Peace and Freedom
Green
Libertarian

I'll check my next ballot when it arrives but I'm pretty certain that it just says "Independent".

patriot whig. both parties are evil, and i won't choose evil, no matter how "lesser" it might be. the division of the two main parties is only a distraction, and give the sheeple a false choice.

[Kylo Ren]

Well, it looks like the results are in. My predictions were close, but off a little. My guess is that some Dems have defected to Independant lately. But, who knows?

[booger]

I tried to join the lesbotarian party but they kicked me out when i showed up in nothing butt tennis shoes and wearing a backwards thong.
