So then why did you say this?

Economic Left/Right: -8.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.44

Yes, I vote NDP

No, YOU'RE DUMB! Hehe. I should have made the options liberal and conservative. Some people have butt bugs about these sorts of things, I guess. And Democrats are definitely left of center, cuz then why do Republicans and them disagree on so many issues? I am epitomizing the Republicans as conservative.

Well, because, has CB so promptly said, it does suck. However, that does not mean we should turn this thread into yet another futile argument.

In an ever growning world how can anyway say which side you are on when everyone has their own damn thoughts?
I hate liberals (todays version) because they are too socialist.
I hate conservatives (todays version) because they "never miss an occation to miss an occation". They are lazy asses......they don't DO anything.

I, myself, am an old fashioned type of man. And if you want to know my opinion ask, or search around. But since my daddy doesn't pay for all my stuff I'm not a hardcore republican. But my parents didn't abandon me and let me suffer in the world on my own when I was too young (around 17 - 18) and made me bitter; being a democrate.
I'm against socialism big time. The terms, "for the People", "Power to the people" , "the People's champ" sickens me because people are stupid enough to believe those that want to "lead them to victory" just want power to themselves.

I picked your mom.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure any of these choices are good ones. On the other hand, I'm not American (or Canadian), so know nothing about the geopolitical scene there.

By the way,

Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.36

Now I wonder what these mean...*

[Tipsy]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.23

The poll places in the dead center of the third quadrant.

I'm independent, though I support the Republican Party quite a lot more than the Democratic Party, though truth be told, they both need to get their acts together. Neither party seems to have the word 'practical' in their vocabulary anymore. For example, I personally support a system of welfare, but the system we have now is just begging to be taken advantage of. Though to pick the one thing that bothers me the most with both parties is the overwhelming emphasis on partisanship.

What's wrong with Socialism?

And sure republicans do something. They raise taxes for the poor and steal oil from foreign countries.

To sum it up, I'm hardcore free market. I support controlling illegal monopolies, but that's pretty much where the government's involvement in the economy needs to stop.

I do not approve of Bush's spending now that interest rates are rising. Social security needs to be destroyed completely. Migrant workers need to be equivalent to the rest of us. Labor unions are no longer needed, and are a threat to American businesses. Foreign trade should be de-regulated and de-taxed. Need more?

im slightly authoritarian and fascist while being slightly more communist

hahaha.

i believe in collective responsiblity. if one individual does one thing wrong the whole group gets punishment. i just feel it right. and i feel it right that people that are at a higher place in society should have authority over the lower ones. they can abuse their power but then the lower can go spill the beans.

i believe that democracy has too much changes. if people campaign then they get it. **** that, they cant get shit. they can go to hell.

So how about you guys?

I think there's going to be a lot of people voting for the fourth option.

that doesn't mean you don't affiliate with either party.

democrats are conservative in some areas and republicans are liberal in some areas. vice versa too.

if you're going for kerry then that means your a democrat. not all democrats agree with what their canidate/party advocates which is why different extremes of the democrat/republican exsist ie: conservative democrat.

Or as we've already gone over, there are more than 2 political parties on planet earth, get over yourself.
