Members: Define Your Political Inclination!

[OzmO]

In Scandanavia, maybe.   In the USA she'd be considered slightly to the left of Karl Marx. 

Not really,  cause she's very pro-self employed (capitalists) and all the economic and poltical tags and beliefs that with it. 

That's what brings her towards the center.


Otherwise she's very liberal

[24KT]

Waiting for jag to say she's "smack dab in the middle" LOL!!

{giggle}

Left    ...ME...    Right

Let those with eyes to see, see and understand. It's right in front of your eyes...as plain as day. 

You know as I read all your self-proclaimed descriptions, I was struck by the similarities in how you described yourselves, ...yet you all put a different label on it.

I refuse to put labels on myself, because each label represents a boundary outside of which we rarely ever allow ourselves to go.

My vote often goes to the party that I feel will be best for the country overall, ...based both on their policies, ...but also based on the integrity of their leadership. Personally, I don't care if politician X's platform is identical to what I believe in. If Politician X is a snake in the grass who cannot be trusted, Politician Y gets my vote.

If Politician X's platform personally benefits me, ...but would spell disaster for the rest of the country, Politician Y get's my vote. The way I see it, I'm flexible, and am but one small cog in the wheel. I can always adjust. However, disaster for the vast majority, ...spells disaster for me long term. Besides, I believe there is vast progress towards the mark available under any administration, ...it's simply a matter of how one sets their sail, ...so i will always capitalize and benefit regardless. For those with less flexibility, it is my responsibility to never lose sight of the bigger picture, and my vote always goes to those advancing the cause of a better, stronger, more prosperous, peaceful, and progressive civilization.

That said:

I will say this tho... Howard Deans recent address at our National Liberal Party Convention certainly touches on many of the things I believe.  That is not to say I'm a Democrat or a Liberal, simply that I believe in certain things.

That right there proves you're a damn socialist! (or a Canadian... same thing)

Voting one's own narrow self-interest is the American way!

If you leaned anymore to the left you would be going walking in one constant circle!!

That's why I believe in voting for what's in my 'long term' self interest like a stable, healthy, safe, prosperous, civilization.

What's the point in a tax-cut if it means I now have to spend more money than I save on the tax bill to pay for the increased security, medical bills, and ammo to protect what I got. Not to mention the inevitable increase in taxes to lock up all the bastards committing crimes 'cause there was no social safety net to catch them, and bounce them back into being productive members of society.

No one is more blind than he who has eyes, but refuses to see. {sigh}
...and it's staring him straight in the face too. {lol} I betcha 240 sees it clear as day. 

Q: How do you hide something from Intense-One?
A: Put it in clear view. {giggle}

[240 is Back]

I'm more in favor of keeping them locked up, period.  You can't reason with an animal who thinks it's acceptable to stick a gun in someone's face and steal his or her possessions so he can afford to buy some "bling" or a pair of Air Jordans.  It's not like these people are robbing people for food... we have enough of a safety net to take care of that, they're robbing people because they think they're somehow entitled to luxury items.

what he said.

Of course, with 6 years of repub control, we should have compeltely crushed crime, since they're tougher on it.

Why do people need a safety net in every aspect of life?  Isn't that what welfare is and that works great huh?    All it does is perpetuate the cycle of welfare families from parent to child.

What safety net do you recommend for a twenty five year old balck female with three kids?  Welfare?  Hand outs?

Here's an idea either don't fuck without a rubber or shut yer damn legs.  Case closed.  The less little children that can't be supported running around, the better of things will be.

[240 is Back]

some idiots need net after net.

and if you don't give them one, they will kill innocents, spread disease, reproduce like rabbits, etc.

same reason you cannot let people invest their own social security $.  you don't suddenly want ten million homeless helpless people voiding bodily emissions in the street because PBS stock drops.

you have to protect people because their self-imposed downfall will bring down your quality of life, and it could be your wife getting robbed at the market, your kids catching typhiod from homeless idiots eating garbage, etc.  sad, but the way it is.

Voting one's own narrow self-interest is the American way! 

hahahaha agreed.

[tu_holmes]

I'm a normal American... Fiscally conservative, yet socially liberal.

I want smaller government, minus defense...

I want taxes to be low, but they are fine if they are required...

I want the government and other people out of my personal life... There you have it.

*Whew*

I was getting worried... Sometimes I feel like there's no sanity anymore.

I think the vocal minorities are fucking with my mind.

[SAMSON123]

I define myself as a Conservative Humanist.

What are you?

Left?

Right?

Centre?

240?

Have your say, board.

No party afiliation is worth anything unless it works toward the best interest of the masses...unlike america whose government works for/in the best interest of corporations

Republicans. That's why they suck.

[240 is Back]

both parties work for the corporations.

[tu_holmes]

both parties work for the corporations.

True, one just tries to hide it more than the other.

[gtbro1]

both parties work for the corporations.

Ok then,that's why they both suck.

BUT the republicans have Bush, so that is two strikes against them.

[Camel Jockey]

Libertarian.

A great many people feel like you do. Unfortunately, neither party accurately represents this point of view.  It seems like no matter which way you vote, you have to give up about half of what you believe in.  The unthingking drones who swallow the entire platform of either party (both of which are logically inconsistent with themselves) then vocally defend their "party line" make the situation that much worse.

I think the large number of fiscally conservative socially liberal folks who want a small government that stays out of our personal lives, and stresses personal freedom along with personal responsibility should leave the Republican party to the religious freaks and the Democratic Party to the socialist whiners and trial lawyers, and form our own centrist party.

Ain't gonna happen. There's simply too many people who'll allow others to determine their ideals for them.

There simply aren't that many people with classical liberal views anymore. 

[Cavalier22]

CT;s aside, 240 is more of a real conservative than Bush ever was.
