****, I just voted...... not telling which.

And then I realised that you are talking Yankee Politics. Totally different beast to what we have in the UK.

funny how political viewpoints can change with "lifestyle" changes.When i was young I was liberal.And I mean LIBERAL to the point of anti war marches , protests,thumbing my nose at any established entity.Of course poitically active as well

When I became a 'poppa" and got married my viewpoint changed radically.With responsibility came a more responsible political view rather than the "pie in the sky" and "give away the store to those who refuse to do for themselves" crew.Now when it is me that has to support not just my own family by my taxes go to waste /fraud/and just plain dumb programs that border on socialism I have become the very thing I was against in my youth

As for viewpoints/mentality, I try to be open minded and still have common sense...

Why would you want to know my political preference?The beauty of the net is being able to discuss things in an open forum with people you would probably never speak to in the real world.I don't want to find out you are a complete jerk after we have become forum buddies.Political discussion is dangerous ground.

It's OK Tuberoller, we all know your a jerk already. :wink:

(Just kidding)

This poll isn't that simple. My views tend to be on the extremes of both sides depending on the issue. I claim myself to be a libertarian but even then I don't agree with everything they libertarian party does.

Here are some examples:

Death Penalty: Against it for religious reasons
Abortion: I'm not equipped to have an opinion (that matters)
Business: Generally I think the market should be left alone as long as there isn't blatent fraud (cough, Worldcom).

The list goes on and on and on.

I wish the world was as black and white as this liberal/conservative view but it isn't.
