I like some Conservatives and some Liberals. Personally, I try to look beyond the "outer shell" and instead focus on the person. Many moderate Liberals have more in common with Conservatives than they do with "extremist" Liberals, and conversely, many moderate Conservatives have more in common with Liberals than they do with "extremist" Conservatives.
Consequentially, in a lot of cases these names are actually misnomers because they carry ‘preloaded’ connotations that may not even be true. Major problems arise from slapping these broad labels on people because they encourage polarization rather than unity. In fact, the labels "Conservative" and "Liberal" have such extraordinarily negative connotations that they are used like socially acceptable profanity. You only need to spend a few minutes on Answers.com to see what I'm talking about.
Interestingly, most people never really think about how they developed their beliefs. In most cases, people simply adopt whatever political affiliations that their parents had, just like most people unquestioningly adopt their parent’s religion. This kind of emotional, reactionary allegiance replaces rational thought and is therefore extremely dangerous. Let's stop the madness!

Neither, anyone who labels themselves as such is a liar. You may have different sides to different issues. For starters I am more Conservative on Crime. We should not label ourselves as such. Lets look at the issues, and then decide where we stand when we have all the information.

Bothy groups have their pluses and minuses. Conservatives tend to be more strict while liberals more flexible. It is somewhere in the middle that I prefer.

Liberal woman because they are kinky. Conservatives only do it in the missionary position for procreation purposes only. Give me a good liberal girl anytime.

I like both, especially with a side of rice and maybe some chocolate pudding as desert.

I like people right in the middle. I find neo-cons to be a tad more annoying though.
