I am a Conservative. And I am on Facebook.

David All points out that Facebook will now allow you to add your party affiliation on your profile under “Political Views”. This is good for All’s purposes as a business man who is trying to target the Republican Party for clients, and for others who wish to show their pride in their party.  It’s especially good if you’re an advertiser trying to target Republican’s specifically.

But, personally, when talking about “Political Views”, I don’t think party, I think ideology. Granted, this may just be a matter of semantics, but my “Political Views” are more Conservative or Libertarian than they are Republican Party. And my ideology will trump my party if it comes down to the issues.  So I don’t plan on changing to the Republican Party.  Now if they created a new category for “Political Affiliation” that was distinct from “Political Views”, sign me up.
