Are you a conservative a liberal, somewhere in between OR?

Question

I'm a paleoconservative. I don't agree with the direction taken by our current administration. What are you and do you feel the country is headed in the right direction?

Answer 1

I used to be a Conservative but now I am not sure. I voted for them in the General Election but sometimes I think the New Leader is more left than Blair. I am certainly not a Lib - they are a municipal waste of space on the local council. I have never ever voted labour.

If the BNP had a local candidate then I would most likely vote for them.

Answer 2

I'm a liberal and proud of it! I don't even know if it would be accurate to even call Bush a conservative. After all, conservatives traditionally support smaller government. Under Bush, the government has gotten a lot bigger, and not only that, but we have domestic spying! I'm not optimistic about where the country is headed. Not too long ago, Sandra Day O'Connor said that our country is slowly moving towards a dictatorship. Unfortunately, I have to say that I think she's right. It would probably be most accurate to label Bush and his cohorts fascists.

Answer 3

I am a liberal who fits this definition totally, though I register as Independent:

Liberalism is an ideology, philosophy, and political tradition that holds liberty as the primary political value.[1] Broadly speaking, liberalism seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of minorities are guaranteed. In modern society, liberals favour a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed

I am not a Fascist, I don't believe in communism and this country has made a sharp right turn with a leader who is half-baked!

Answer 4

I consider myself a moderate - socially liberal, fiscally conservative. I vote Democrat because I find the current direction of the GOP repressive and bigoted. Besides, it was a Democrat who balanced the budget, so I guess the GOP can't even claim the fiscally conservative mantle anymore.

Answer 5

I am a Conservative. I am almost a libertarian but I disagree on there polices on education and the military.

I think taxes should be as low as passable and the government should not redistribute wealth with welfare or other entitlement programs (they encourage failure and dependence). Everything that can be privatized should be (government is inherently wasteful). Education should be privatized by the use of vouchers.

I disagree with Conservatives in that I believe you can not legislate morality.

Answer 6

I am an middle of the road who thought I was more conservative less than 7 years ago nut now find myself more liberal leaning

Answer 7

I am Labour, not because I like Kim Beazley, but because their policies better benifits me. In American terms, I guess I am a "Liberal," though there are differences between the two.

Answer 8

i am human.
