Take myself, as an example. I am a card carrying member of the Libertarian Party. That is the party that reflects my views the best. Do I believe in everything that the party espouses? Hell no! Have you seen some of the crap that some of them try to fly? They're freakin' nuts. Just like extremists on the right. And...on the left.

Well of course almost any party affiliation requires a degree of compromise. It just seems like a common mantra here lately, since 2004 really, with Pat Robertson, right-to-die positions, unfettered (and illegal) phone tapping, pay-for-play lobbyists, torture of war prisoners, gross incompetence (think Katrina or the prescription medicine plan), and now porn censorship. If you didn't think the Republican party represented these things you weren't paying attention.
