I hope more people do this poll..... it will be interesting to see how it turns out
i'm not sure how to vote.. i'm kind of a half-assed libertarian. i have socially-liberal tendencies. as far as economics and IR goes, i'm probably a moderate..
now i'm here, and history is vindicated.
I'm Republican- one that doesn't think his party is doing a very good job of following their own professed beliefs.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-- John Stewart Mills
But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

same place as liberal...
now i'm here, and history is vindicated.
libertarian is probably the closest politicial describtion for how I view my politicial stance. I am not reistered for any party - so there goes Goofball's assumption that I am a Republican.
I vote for the individual that I best think can fullfil the job and has the most items of his agenda that falls in line on how I think about politics.
Social programs are best handled at the community level.
National level government should only focus on those item stated in the Constitution and let the state governments focus on the areas that are not covered by the Federal Government has visioned by the Founding Fathers.
O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
Well im really a king, but you didnt have monarchey
Im kinda a democrat though i disagree with many of there policies.
Part of everything - except fascist.
I don't know, I don't think any of them
Republican - No, because I avidly support monarchy
Democrat - No, because I would rather have a pseudo democracy, where not everyone can vote
Libertarian - Not a clue what this is
Statest - as above
Moderate - Assuming this is between right and left, I still don't know what it entails
Socialist - No, because I don't believe in making the rich poorer
Communist - No, because I am not working class and as above
Fascist - No, because I think races should be equal
It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

this topic brings up again the problem of assigning political labels when americans and europeans aren´t talking out of the same handbook....
to answer the question......
on an european sense - Moderate
on an american sense -Liberal/socialist/commie/pinko.....the list of things i´ve been called goes on and on..

Yes, I voted socialist.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

I voted gah...I'll think about it again when it's time for an election. I don't really know enough about economics or foreign affairs to know where I stand.
Benevolent fascist - which includes beliefs in a strong military, aggressive foriegn policy, traditionalism, nationalism, anti-communism/socialism, government-industry cooperation, a strong role for the military in the government and does not include beliefs in genocide, concentration camps, political assassinations and all those nasty habits that gave fascism such a bad name in the 30s.
If I was to put a label on myself, it would probably be closest to national socialism. I voted gah.
I´m a rightwinged nationalist and believe in a strong military, long sentences for criminals, low taxes und so weiter... My contry has a socialistic government and it´s falling apart. Sweden is poorer and poorer for every year and only the right can do something about it.
Im the only democrat.
Looks like the majority party at the org is gahs!
I´m a democrat and loves democrazy
Just not an ´american´ democrat.
gah!
i knew ichi and gawain where jack booted thugs... :OP
Man so many Libertarians!
Well I guess I'll go Republican then.
Cowardice is to run from the fear;

I'm sort of a socialist libertarian liberal.
I believe healthcare and education should be available (and if possible, free of charge, otherwise it should be affordable for everyone) to everyone, rich and poor. I don't believe in taking from the rich and giving to the poor, I'd rather see the government giving everyone the same benefits, the rich can be taxed more than the poor, but it should be reasonable. This makes me a socialist in US terms i guess, but I'm more a libertarian in Europe, because our governments are much larger and take on much more than in the US, too much imho.
I'm a liberal because I just don't care what people do in private as long as it doesn't hurt (non-consenting) other people.

I consider myself a libertarian. In truth, the only party I really find offering any kind of exciting new ideas was the Reform party (before it got hijacked by Pat Buchanan). I'm registered Republican, because my state doesn't have free primaries, and you have to declare a party affiliation and I see primaries as the only real choice (elections tend to be cartoonish). Bush vs. Kerry, no real choice. Bush vs. McCain... Hmmmm......

actually wouldnt a eurpean right, be more like a democrat?Originally Posted by ShadesWolf
I think your analysis of where you are is brilliant. You are prety much the standard 'liberal' over here, definately in the UK anyway. Our Liberal Democrats are pretty much exactly what you state - for social fairness, but social fairness which creates a situation equal for everyone, rather than trying to actively do more for those nearer the bottom than at the middle. And also for a strong capitalist system.Originally Posted by doc_bean
I disagree fundamentally with some of the views expressed by them, but you have to respect European liberals, they talk sense most of the time.
And Shadeswolf is most definately a Republican.
