Switched my family from die hard republican to democrat during the last election with help from Romney. Now people like Boehner are keeping them that way.

You can't learn stupid. Most folks of above average intelligence are already a liberal, and most folks below average intelligence who are easily distracted by issues not even affecting them, are republicans. Righties get mad all you want, just google iq by political party.

I am an Independent. I think I may have convinced a couple of people to drop their party and register as an Independent. But I wouldn't recommend ANY political party to anyone.

why would I?? I don't vote by party - I vote based on the positions of the candidate and their record. both parties are extremely corrupt and dominated by special interests, and basically represent the immense-government-ruling-your-life-party, and the slightly-smaller-immense-government-ruling-your-life-on-different-issues-party. pathetic.

v Yes, I have

First I point out how both parties are corrupt, owned by special interests and interested in little more than power. Then I ask people which group of special interests are least offensive... Military Complex/Fossil Fuels/Big Ag vs. Unions/Renewable Energy/Environmentalists with the Banking & Medical Pharmaceutical interests covering their bets on both sides of the isle. Vote third party whenever they have a chance of winning, next vote for any politician who seems to have a shred of honesty/integrity doesn't matter the party and then all things being equal vote Democrat.

sometimes when the government does not inform their U.S. citizens on more 411 we only judge politics by every other person's perception.

I have convinced many, many people to think for themselves and become Independent. I have also convinced them to ignore the major media, the lunatic fringe media and most of all the thin-skulled, blinders-wearing, lock-step-marching ideologues on both sides. Heffalumps and Jackasses are bad for your health, your wallet, your children and they will continue to LIE TO YOU!

I've been on both sides of the political spectrum. I have too much respect for people's political beliefs to ever consider changing them. Or even trying. Quite honestly, 64% of the respondents are kidding themselves. If you've influenced someone's political convictions, they never really had them.

I'd like to say that I convinced someone on this site to switch parties but no one has said as much so I have to be satisfied with the hundreds of people who I've explained the difference between what the media defines as "conservative" and what conservatives define as conservative.
