[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Okay, I really hate the way that political parties have developed in America today. I think that national politics has become way too focused into an "us versus them" mentality, and we're not getting anything effective done in the government. Here's the situation -- when I registered to vote four years ago when I turned 18, I registered as an independent. Although I find myself agreeing with many of the Democrats' policies (especially compared to the Republicans'), I've still never liked the Democratic Party itself. However, the prospect of George W. Bush being elected for a second term as President of the United States leaves me feeling quite ill. Therefore, with the upcoming primaries coming up in a few months, I'm wondering whether I should change my party affiliation so that I can vote in the primary, and contribute my own opinion concerning the Democratic candidates. After all, considering that they're the ones that I hope will get Dubya out of the White House next November, I should help choose the candidate. The drawback, however, is that I've heard that both political party organizations end up pestering their members for campaign contributions quite frequently, once they're on the list. I recall my father getting quite a few calls when he was a registered Democrat. Does anyone have any experience to relate to me about that kind of thing? I'd like to know before I make the decision... I figure it would probably be worth it, in the end -- but I'm not sure what all the consequences might be. Information would be appreciated.
