Which Party Will I Register For?

I have no idea which party I will register for. Neither of the two main parties (Democrat or Republican) strikes me as more right than the other. Or rather, neither one strikes me as more wrong, since they both have valid points. Republicans believe that the government should do only what the Constitution bestowed it to do, while Democratics believe that social problems, such as poverty, can be best solved when the government takes responsibility for them. I have no basis for making the decision of which one is right! Should the government be allowed that power, or should it allow individuals to make their own choices? I might register for the Democratic Party simply because I do believe that America need a change that I'm not sure McCain can bring. However, I don't like the idea of the government making the choice for me of where much of my money goes... Therefore, I am 98% sure that I will register Independent.
