Democrats:

Republicans:
~ Have a more conservative ideology than most Democrats due to their dictation to the Bible.

I see myself as neutral because agree I agree with certain points of both parties. I'm on the fence about both parties because not everyone in each party believes entirely in what is generally associated with their. So I can't say that I can totally rely on one party more than the other. On some things I am for and others against but they are still on opposite sides so I"m impartial between both the Democratic and Republican party.
