Which political party would you say you associate with? / Which political party does your family associate with?
Re: Politics?
My family's republican, but I haven't really a chance to decide fully myself. xD Mostly I consider myself republican because of my parents.
Re: Politics?
I'm democratic, like my parents. But we did this survey thingy last year in civics, so they're not totally influencing my choice.
Hm, I find it interesting that everybody voted the same as there parents. Then again, only 3 people have voted (I think)...

Re: Politics?
I do my reading and stuff on what one group thinks and what the other says, and I have followed my parents in saying I'm an elephant. But I've yet to decide if I'm a conservative republican, or a liberal republican. I think conservative, but that part still confuses me. xD

I'm an independant, like my mom and dad. *Overhears dad ranting about how insane the healthcare bill is* But it DOES get annoying when all your parents talk about is politics. XP

Re: Politics?
I'd say the same if I wasn't interested in politics. xP (If you want, tell your parents there's some psychotic girl on the internet that agrees with them--who knows, they may be quiet for a few minutes )

Re: Politics?
My mom gets in these epic fights with her mother, who's a strong republican, whereas my mom is a strong democrat. Which is when I discovered that there is a headphones outlet on the desktop speakers.

Re: Politics?
My area is extremely liberal. There's only one republican in my entire grade and he lives like an hour and a half away. o.0 Anyway... yeah, Democrat through and through, like my parents.

Re: Politics?
My parents are Republicans. They don't take part in Ploitics, much, though.
I haven't really decided, I mean, I'm more interested in TWIG xD
My mom & dad don't influence my choice much, but if I was dying, and had to choose, right now, I'd be a Republican.

Btw, I think it's rather odd that pretty much everyone votes the same as their parents, or is independent. xD I mean, I'm a democrat because I've made my own researched decisions. Not that you guys haven't, but yeah. xD

Well, kids' beliefs are usually influenced by their parents'.

Re: Politics?
Does asking your parents questions about what each side thinks, considered parental influence? xD That's what I do most of the time, and I pay attention to what each presidential candidate intends to do compared to others, and see who I side with. (Of course, most of that comes from Nickelodeon... )

Re: Politics?
I guess one could say so, if they say stuff like "Obama the baby killer just endorsed this horribly horrible bill which will kill all Americans" rather than "Obama has a healthcare reform plan".
You're probably best off looking at news from AP or the news (not blogs, as they're opinion) from Huffingtion Post, as those are the least biased. I think.

Like, my parents say stuff like, "Obama has a health care reform to provide everyone in America health care, but it's gonna add tons of money onto our debt, which we have enough of from the Social Security issue. Altogether that means more tax money. And other countries with government-controlled health care... They're not happy." So they're not really accusing presidents of anything like killing/murder, xP
Okay, thanks.
Okay, thanks.

For religion, I'm like the exact opposite. My family's some form of Christian or something, but my mom's parents side (she broke off from them when she met my dad) are strong Roman Catholics, whereas I'm atheist, as some of you know.
But like I said before, my political choice (well, I'm a minor. Nobody cares about my vote in the U.S. ) is the same as my parents, but I took a survey thingy last year in civics, and for most of the questions I got democratic.
