You are very much an Independent to Libertarian! Somewhere in between. It's close with you. You obviously have individual opinions on the separate issues. Meaning you didn't base your opinions on a specific parties opinion. Overall, I think you lean more toward the right, but your an independent. You are a free thinking republican. You don't agree with all party lines, just the essential logical ones. You have a brain that actually works well. You understand that socialism is as stupid a concept as there ever has been. I would rate you a moderate Republican, with conservative leanings.
You offer a few liberal slants, but by and large, you're almost word-for-word a Republican.
- Stuart From your name alone, with the use of derogatory terms, you are probably a homophobe which doesn't fall into either category strictly. Republican without a doubt. Though you somtimes seem to be a mixure, you are more Republican. Free Market, Less Taxes, Pro life (unless health risk to mother or rape), Pro defense & war on terror, Anti porkulous bill = you are a Conservative Republican! It's all about you, isn't it? Not one lick of community in your list.
I would classify you as a "Me First Reagan republican"--greedy, lying sonofabitch. You're fiscally conservative, socially liberal (except for abortion), which means you're a libertarian, or Ron Paul voter Sounds like a G.reedy O.bstinate P.ig to me. No redeeming social value whatsoever. You are a log cabin Neocon. You are a Republican A republican. But not an American. You know what you are - you're playing with us. I wouldn't bother republican who did u vote for??? Republican/Libertarian.
You definitely lean more conservative but you support gay rights, which the GOP is opposed to; libertarians tend to not necessarily *support* gay marriage or things like that, but they *tolerate* it based on the notion that the gov't has no business stepping into other peoples' lives. You sound pretty republican to me... a lot more than democrat
ADD: seriously conjugal? what part of that is democrat?
the anti-abortion, the pro-war on terror? the pro-water boarding? the anti-obama stuff? the pro-gun stuff? the pro-death penalty stuff?
ADD: yea crabwriter? what do you mean not an American? Sounds American to me! You really have a mixed bag there, some Liberal leaning and some Conservative leaning.
I would call you an independent with some conservative beliefs and some liberal beliefs who hopefully votes on ideals and policies not charisma and charm. You're a republican. Two thirds of the stuff you listed are moderate stands on issues that aren't really core beliefs of either party.
What jumps out to me is:
- Your support for a flat tax and business deregulation and dislike of welfare rather than emphasis on infrastructure/energy and growing income gaps.
- Your implication that terrorism is a winnable military and ideological conflict rather than a political problem due to massive disparities in education in wealth. your on the fence |
