Are you liberal, conservative, or something else?

Neither really.  It all depends on your point of view. \n\nInfact, I think it's personally detrimental to label yourself as either.  Because once you do that, you ascribe to yourself a set of beliefs that fall within either the left or right of the political spectrum.  If people are so shallow and weak minded that they need a one word answer to fully describe their political ideas, good on them.\n\nI myself refuse to say either, since I have some ideas that are obviously liberal, and some that are obviously conservative.

Conservative and liberal. Fox news and CNN respectively.\n\nI'm not to sure if that is what you are looking for.

Independent.  I don't want to be categorized as either, yet I tend to lean towards democrat because their interests lie in the every day, little guy problems, whereas the republicans are all about big business and whoever has the most money wins.\n\nI am probably more socialist than anything else.

wow...such hatefulness on this question. Let's just celebrate the fact that we can argue this point without being worried about being killed for speaking out. I am independent...I am in the middle..used to be a tree huggin' hippie, but as I get older, I am getting a little bit more conservative. I am disillusioned by every politician I vote for. I think they are all crooks and liars!! Remember Ross Perot in the '90's? What ever happened to him? At least Saturday Night Live was good then!!

I am an independant. I believe in a strong, small government. I believe in an unbiased foreign policy. I believe in protecting and helping American citizens first, before helping and defending other countries. I believe in protecting the environment. I believe in the rights afforded to us by the Constitution, including the Right to Bear Arms. I am anti-abortion in most cases. I believe in tax cuts for everyone, not just the wealthy. I believe that marriage is a basic human right, gay or straight.\n\nI side with Democrats on some of these issues, and Republicans on others. I, personally, do not like Bush and what he's done to this country. I dislike and distrust both political parties equally. One of my favorite quotes is Abraham Lincoln; “A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections.”. We need more statesmen and fewer politicians.

Republican.  On a Scale of 1 to 50 with 50 being the most liberal and 1 being the most conservative,  I'm a 3.  I took a test in my American Government class in College.  I knew I was a Republican to begin with but I didn't know I was that conservative!   :)

Certainly. I don't align myself to any particular political demographic. Some of my views can be liberal and some conservative, democratic, republican, or other. I never could understand why anyone would want to be "pigeon-holed" in any sort of demographic description. I pay my taxes, abide by the law, and don't need to be so one-dimensional.

If you used the dictionary definition of a liberal, most conservatives would want to be liberals, or would think they already are liberals:\n\n"marked by generosity and openhandedness, broad-minded, tolerant, bountiful, munificent" and so forth.  All except the part "lacking moral restraint, licentious" applies equally to conservatives.\n\nGood question, because I don't think a liberal defines himself the way a conservative defines a liberal.  And vice versa.

THANK YOU.  I have experienced the very same thing in this forum.  It's the reason I mention the fact that I am a moderate Independent so often.  I'm tired of being labeled a left wing liberal because I don't agree with the ultra-conservative Republicans.  I'm not real fond of extremism in either camp, but lately I have disagreed with the Republican manner of handling this country.  Contrary to their beliefs that does NOT make me a freaking liberal.

The left are considered liberals. Broadly speaking, liberalism seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of minorities are protected.\n\nThe right are considered conservative. To a conservative, the goal of change is less important than the insistence that change be effected with a respect for the rule of law and traditions of society.

Do you feel that your only option besides Republican is Democrat?\n\nHow about a third party?\n\nSince you're conservative, check this one out:\n\nwww.constitutionparty.com

Independent. I agree with a lot of the Republican issues such as pro-life but I also believe in several of the Democratic issues such as supporting our schools.

Judging by the many of the questions and answers, I would guess liberal.
