No, don't do that or you will become registered in the "Independant Party".  
Rather a clever name for the party, don't you think.  If youy don't want to 
affiliate with any particular party, I would ask your registrar how to 
decline such affiliation.  Otherwise, put the political party of your choice 
there.

It really doesn't make any difference, currently.   GA has open primaries, so 
you can vote in whichever one you want.
