Very liberal in the social sense. I would prefer gay marriage and I support choice as a right between myself and my Dr.

On some matters I may be conservative such as gun control. I view my right to a firearm no different than my right to free speech.

Politically, I am a democrat, mostly because the goldwater style of politics in the republican party has died, and has been repleced with the christian right, whom I do not support under any circumstances.

Well my vote was very liberal. I've seen some conservative women which I've been curious about their feet. Sarah Palin is a good example. Then when I think about what she actually stands for it turns me off totally. I don't think I could ever get off on the feet of any woman who would deny people of their rights, have a "fuck it" attitude about the environment or want to take us backward in any way. Of course that's just me.

Liberal all the way, even though I am a registered Independent. Never did have much of a stomach (thankfully) for the madness that is passing itself off as the conservative movement and the GOP...

In the middle. Can't see things as just black and white. It has to be the gray area for me. People whose views are just all the way "left" or "right" don't seem to do things for the overall good of the majority of the people and seem to just be looking out for the special interests of the few.

I'm like LeDaemon, I'm in the middle. I'm liberal on somethings and conservative on others. I'm an Independent, but lean towards the Dems. Although on most tax issues I lean towards the Repubs.

I voted very liberal. Ever since I developed a political interest in my mid-teens, I've always been more into Left Wing politics. Such as Revolution and things like Socialism, Marxism, Anarchism, Communism, and so forth. All those listed were different concepts, but they all were of my interest. Although I do like to say that I do have a few years of activism under my belt, i'm not just one to speak opinion and never actively back it up. I've attended several protests and worked with local organizations around my hometown. Even in high school, I was an activist. We had an underground school paper, radical left wing pamplets, what we called an "advertising" team that would but up all these intense political slogans in highly visible places around the school, we had kids that wee animal rights activists that would liberate all the farm animals on Agriculture Day, and we achieved such acts with the school find a trace to anything or anyone. They tried hard,lol. BUT I'm into Revolution and not any labeled type of Reform. I feel this society structure and govenrment system should be stripped bare and construted over again with new policies that benefit the masses of people and not the few of the elite. I feel people should have complete control of thier lives until crime towards another human being comes into play. I guess I was fine picking "Very Liberal". If it was one more than very liberal, like Radical, I would have picked that one.

Just curious as to how that Socialism, Marxism, and Communism thing worked out in the not so distant past for eastern Europe and the old USSR? Also, I'm wondering how leaning more towards socialism/communism is in line with people having complete control of their lives? The eutopian theory of benifiting all of the masses turns into a concentration of all the power and wealth into a small fraction of people in the government who for some strange reason never get voted out.
I went to Germany just a year after the fall of the Berlin wall and it was amazing to see the darkness, poverty, and lack of progress when crossing into East Berlin from the West. And wouldn't you know, its a different place now that communism fell. I think I'll take my chance with the greed of capitalism over the brutality of communism any day.

I had a huge response typed out but I figure fuck explaining myself. It benefits me none. If you want to discuss politics then PM me, otherwise state your position like everybody else. There's always one......I tell ya.

Lambskin is correct, we in America have never seen the true face of Communism or Socialism so by definition it might appeal to the younger crowd. But in all actuality, from Soopa's other post it sounds like he is just a Libertarian and believes the people should be free from oppression and control and be able to live free..that is hardly communism..Lambs assumption of the East German side was accurate and sad.

Very well, from "the one", I am somewhat conservative. Meaning a huge fiscal conservative; socially, I am more open mided to different ideas. But when it comes to my money, and the fact that I spent well over 20 years in school and training to earn, I don't like people trying to spend it for me.

Libertarian. Socially I'm quite liberal - I'm cool with gay marriage, legalising pot, and if 100 illegal mexicans are working at Wal-Mart I don't give a fuck. But on the fisacl side I'm conservative. The only way to empower individuals is by allowing them to spend their own money, not have some Government bureau spend it for them. It's basically freedom 'to', rather that freedom 'from' that I support.

I pretty much agree with Bagzie, except for the illegal immigrants working here. Ya wanna work here and benefit from "higher paying" jobs, then become a citizen 1st, and if you don't want to do that then you should be shot on site.

I can`t post this link often enough when it comes to the topic of so-called illegal immigrants:

Oops, you`re a racist!

i'm a social conservative. I don't support gay marriage and I'd rather keep drugs illegal. I'm not religious either.
Fiscally I'm a liberal. I believe some people don't have the means to support themselves through whatever reasons, and I believe one of the governments purposes is to help those people. If I work hard and get lots of money then I'll still have lots of money, just a bit less so those less fortunate can eat.

I like the system in England with our healthcare system. If you're rich you can afford to go private. If you're not or just dont want to pay you can use the NHS. Totally win/win. And the amount from our Tax that goes on the NHS isn't that big per person either.

I'm generally conservative with only a few things here or there i might be kinda liberal on, the only one coming to mind is marijuana legalization.

One comment I would like to make, is that this forum with political debate is probably the first i have seen where the threads seem pretty adult and aren't flame fests from both sides. Quite refreshing.
