You don't think that people who consider themselves conservative/republican or liberal/democrat have chosen for themselves? Some have, some haven't, but I get tired of hearing people say that. I can consider myself a republican and not agree with everything the party stands for, but I'm still conservative. Same for liberals/democrats.

genu-INE liber-AL(did I mention that the liberals/progressives have always/will always win? you know, ending slavery, ending segregation, women's sufferage, same sex marriage [trust me]. When you look back, it's all so obvious...)

If thats what the poster meant then Yes! If Independent means third party then No.

I don't like the labels. Too simple. We have too many groups out there like Gay Republicans to South Park Liberals.I think an online test like this is a good way to go. It's a well regarded and easy to use test.

Republican and Democrat meant different things back during the slavery times than they do today, just to fill you in on some of your misconceptions.

Damned you. I guess in that test view I am a Centrist Your PERSONAL issues Score is 60%. Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 30%.

According to that poll, I'm left liberal even though I agree with almost all of Bush's decisions? Meh, dont trust everything on the internet.

I'm a liberal, who is so embarrassed with the current state of the Democratic party that I probably wouldn't even affiliate myself with them if it weren't for the anonimity afforded me by this message board. IcePS- Did everyone see what Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson said to a national TV audience recently? Yeowza

Yeah, my Dad who's a relatively solid republican is definitely starting to get frustrated at the direction the Neocons are taking the party.Robertson basically said that Judges are a bigger threat in the terroristsIn his book he said that judges are a bigger threat then Germany in the 1930s. How insane is that?Oh, and what really takes the cake is that most of the judges they are complaining about were appointed by REPUBLICANSJustice Anthony Kennedy for example, and the judges in the Terri Schaivo case. This is just flat out insanity/stupidity/whatever Republicans have been in power for most of the last two decades+ with going into the 17th year of the last 25Oh, and I definitely agree with the frustration at the Democrats. Basically the party has become spineless.

Vade: Are you familiar with the whole Project for a New American Century thing? Scariest shit ever. If you get a chance, look into it if you haven't already. I'm usually reasonable about politics, but the neocons have to be stopped. It's gotten to the point where England's starting to look attractive...Ice

I'm more NRA, than any of the above?Voted Bush & for a couple Dems in state elections. I won't claim any party, just hope the far-left wackos keep the far-right in check & vice versa lol :roll:

Far left is basically dead these days. That's the problem.

Liberal/Independant and sometimes Libertarian. I almost voted Liberal/Democrat but ended up voting for Moderate/Independant.

Independent, closest to a libertarian with extremely liberal social positions and moderately conservative economic ones. I do a lot of political work for the Kentuckian Democratic Party.That quiz was developed by the libertarian party, so your results will be skewed.

Skewed like the Dems keeping Nader off the ballots? lol

Well... First things First, you go to Madison so I know your far-left views are the norm there. Don't worry I'm not flaming you with that, Just playful banter. But I have to disagree... John Kerry's recent proposal for a quasi Socialized Healthcare problem is as far left as anything this country has ever seen from a serious presidential contender. With Kerry, Kennedy, Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold off of the top of my head I would say that the attitude from the left side is split. With these members being part of the far left, you can check there voting records and they've always voted as liberal as they could as long as it ment keeping there office.

Now, forgive me if I am mistaken Wildcat... But the liberal social positions... I see that aligning with Libertarians if you're talking about pro-choice and that sort of thing. But, unless I'm mistaken the Libertarians do not agree with a lot of what democratic believes in regarding Affirmative Action and other things like that. Policies that give a certain advantage to one person or group of people over another. I was under the impression that the Libertarians were for Equality, complete equality when it came to social issues.And moderate conservative with economic issues.. This seems like a moderate republican not a Libertarian Libertarians are very right wing when it comes to most Economic issues.

Based on the tests from:http://www.politicalcompass.org/I'm Libertarian Left. (-3,-2)----I am a born-again Christian (I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.)I am a US citizen.I am a registered republican.I am socially conservative.I am anti-war (but normally argue for it - devil's advocate.)I am pro-life (but struggle with government's role here.)I am anti capital punishment.I think all humans have a responsability to help their fellow man (and if we were better at this, we wouldn't need the vast majority of our government's social programs.)I think a flat tax would be great (even if I had to pay more taxes.)I hate how flippant most republicans and Bush are with the environment.I had a terrible time with our last election, and ended up voting for who I thought cared most about the country (opposed to the position of president.) I'll let everyone make their own guesses as to who that was ;)I don't know that I fit into any of the categories listed, so I didn't pick one.
