Democrat is not much better.

I thought it would be nice to let the non-Republicans see there are other, like-minded folks actually living in TV and to know they are real people even if they choose to be anonymous.
You have a choice for Democrat and then for Liberal..
and Republican and Independent.
It seems like If you are a liberal, and not a democrat, then you are probably VERY liberal.
Likewise, if you are conservative, but not Republican you are conservative, not an Independent.
I still think the choices should have been, Conservative, Republican, Moderate (Independent), Democrat, Liberal.. on a continuum.
Or said another way, Very conservative, conservative, moderate, liberal, very liberal.
Sorry I am so anal.
