Here's a grouping of conservative voices chiming in on the GOPs future. It's easy enough to listen to polls that show most people don't consider themselves Republican, but the real value in differing voices isn't that you have to be part of a political party to have one. Most conservative people I know don't belong to the Republican party. Not because they don't believe in it, but simply because they don't want a party affiliation at all.
Like many of us here, myself included, we don't belong to a political party. I like the freedom of deciding conservatively on one issue and swinging far left on another without looking to a party to tell me what to do or think or say. They're necessary, but the polls probably don't give you a proper slice of American political leanings.

- That said, I'm an independent voter myself.TheBlueOne
- We have other parties on the tickets. None as powerful as the top two. But they exist.zenmasterfoo
- I think it's about the message. If the right person, with the right message went independent, we could see it happenzenmasterfoo
- It's about the money and influence, sadly.TheBlueOne
