Yes... I've always been in my current political party... None. Although I don't get to vote in the primaries, I like being vaguely vague and purposefully paradoxical...

My political formation took place when I was 16-17. Prior to that time I honestly did not follow politics too closely. As most teenagers, back then I would often mold my "political voice" to blend into that expressed by others of my generational group.

Being a somewhat inquisitive person, I soon discovered that most of the slogans and causes being embraced by other my people my age did not fully make sense. Over that time, things which I had read about and ignored earlier, coupled with what I was hearing and seeing, helped me to forge an active interest in investigating things for myself.

In so doing, my political philosophy emerged; it was that of a conservative. When I turned 18 I registered to vote; and in the majority of local, state and federal elections I have voted for the PAN party here in Mexico. They are the center-right party here.

Another curious development in my political maturity at that time was that I became a political junkie. Due to my closeness to all things American and a large degree of exposure to American culture, and also for the practical fact that Mexican politics, although relatively free as compared to the past, is still heavily patronage based; I focused my political hobby on following US politics.

So, be it here in Mexico, where I support the PAN party at the polls; or by providing moral support to the Republican party in the US, where of course not being a citizen I cannot vote, I have not changed my political point of view since reaching political maturity. If I had to choose a political figure that I hold the highest regard for in recent history, it would have to be your 40th President, Ronald Reagan.

Yes, I've always remained loyal to a single party. However, my reasons for aligning with them have changed over time. I used to put a fair amount of faith in politicians' ability to do good and improve the population's quality of life. Not anymore. Now I support who I support based almost entirely on their financial policy.

I voted Republican until I learned about Electoral Colleges and realized that single votes don't count. Ever. E-V-E-R!

And now that the Republicans are being such pricks about Health Care I doubt I'd ever support them again even if single votes were to count again.

I have always belonged to the same party but that does not mean I don't vote outside it and I have. I vote for what I believe to be best and I don't believe one party should always be in total control of both Houses and the Presidency.
