Unfortunately, neither party has recently exhibited a strong belief structure. Republicans do things in the name of conservatism that are not really conservative, but are politically expedient. Democrats do things that are just plain silly at best, and not in the interests of good governing or the people they claim to represent just because it will hurt Pres. Bush and the Republicans.
In my opinion, this makes the old stereotypes that I used to argue against of there being a party for the haves and the have-nots more true now than ever.
Given that, I think the advice given by Liquor Dealer above is sound, especially concerning local elections and registration.
