In the USA, when you register to vote, it does not mean that you have to stick to your party on every issue. It just means that more than likely, you're going to lean towards one parties views because you like their way of doing things better.

If you want it to be known that you don't want to be associated with a specific party, register independent as it's not affiliated with democrats or republicans. It means that your "independent" of the parties and choose to not be associated.

The main limitation put on a voter by their "registered party," is at the primary level. After the candidates are chosen at the primaries, you can jump party lines all you want. I have known some staunch Democrats that registered Republican, because their county was primarily Republican, and they wanted a say in choosing the candidates ... but would never vote Republican in state or federal elections (or so they claimed!).
