    Mark me down as a social democrat bordering socialist.
    Yeah, I know it doesn't fit the mold here, but dont insult me by calling me a democrat. That would be like our conservative party here at home or something.

  • How many of you guys would like to simply post what political affiliation you are?

    You fence riders may answer "incapable of forming my own opinions" if you wish and may be added to the percentages.

    I'm just kidding... I think.

    But anyway.. Thought this may be kind of interesting.


    I'll start it off...

    Cons

    I'll take neither. And that's based on an opinion, not the lack of one.
  • 100% Conservative all the way baby!
    How "people" can approve of issue's like gay marrige and abortion I don't know. It's disgusting.
    I’d thank my lucky stars,
    to be livin here today.
    ‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
    and they can’t take that away.

    And I’m proud to be an American,
    where at least I know I’m free.
    And I wont forget the men who died,
    who gave that right to me.
  • I'm not liberal, I'm a democrat. I'm moderate on some issues, but I am sure some here would consider me a "liberal" because of my views of this administration and this war.

    On socials issues I lean more towards the liberal side. On fiscal issues, especially on decreasing the size and scope of the federal government, I am more conservative.

    ay answer "incapable of forming my own opinions" if you wish and may be added to the percentages.
    Have you ever heard the term "radical centrists"???

    Yeah, well get used to the idea that far right conservatives and far left liberals are swimming in their own shit! ;)

    Just because you are politically balanced, DOESN'T mean you aren't taking strong opinion on particuler issues. I think people in the middle ground have way MORE balls than someone on the far right or left, by being able to form their own opinions on different issues rather than viewing a particular issue one way because they are already affiliated with a certain part of the political spectrum.
  • LMAO Nice. Well that makes both of us.


    100% Cons

    0% Libs


    Why do liberals never respond to these?

    Liberals don't respond to these because they have better things to do with their time.... :D lol

    I am not a fence rider. I am a libertarian. I am guided by principle rather than party. Modern conservatives of the Bush administration ilk don't seem to be guided by principle which is why we're seeing erosion of liberties, and unprecidented, uncontrolled spending - things which should be abhorent to real conservatives.

    I'd put myself on the moderate end of the conservative side, generally speaking. What's unfortunate is that this gets me pegged by many liberals as someone who supports the war in Iraq, or someone who doesn't care about climate change. I have quite varying opinions on dfferent issues, really. Its hard to pigeonhole.

    I am inclined to agree with this.

    It depends on the issue. I'm very conservative on some issues and fairly liberal on others. I can't be pinned down to a standard set of beliefs by a simple label.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
