I would consider myself a republican because of my conservative views. Lately, however, I've become fed up with political parties. For the most part political parties take honest politicians and turn them corrupt. The money and power the parties have can corrupt even the most decent people. I wish we all would have listened to George Washington when he told us not to form political parties.
My main problem with political parties is how they basically control what politicians say, think, and do. They must act a certain way or they are shunned by his or her respective party. Both parties are guilty of extortion, cover ups, and various scandals from drugs to sex to murder.
I am conservative in nearly all of my views but for the most part I can understand the other sides opinion. Although I am a conservative I am by no means a moralist. I really don't think its the governments position to tell us how to live our lives.
