I would show my face a lot more regularly in political discussions if they were less Democrat vs. Republican. I consider myself a classical liberal (read: John Locke sort of liberalism, which used to mean that you just wanted the government to stay the hell out of your life). A lot like libertarianism, and I did vote for Ron Paul, but I have a lot of trouble identifying myself with any one party, because the people end up becoming synonymous with the party and that can ruin the purity of the political philosophy (i.e. the Republican party now).
