What political person am I?? Democrat? Republican? Liberal?

Question

I believe in george bush, I want lower taxes, I want shelters for people who need them. I am pro-choice but I am pro-war as well. What am i considered? Who should I vote for? There are many things that I am confused about, how do I pick one person, who I agree and disagree with. I like bush because I want us to complete this war, but I dont like that he doesnt want me to choose my own choices?!!! I just want to know if I am a democrat republican or liberal or conservative. In your opinion.

I hate cheaters, like clinton

I work full-time and go to school full-time, if that helps

Answer 1

I would say just vote for the one that represents you the best. Pay close attention to speeches and be sure you choose the right for you. I don't like it when people cheat on their spouse either but that really has nothing to do with how well they run the office.

Answer 2

You sound mostly libertarian, with a bit of conservatism thrown in. I'm not a psychologist or sociologist, but it seems to me that you don't like being told what to think or how to act and you have a general distrust (or at least a cautious suspicion) of people with power over others. You seem to be intellectually consistent and honest about what you think and what you want.

If you don't hate Bush and you don't advocate declaring defeat and bolting from Iraq, the democrats won't let you be one. Your failure to buy into the tax & spend economic theory of liberalism suggests you are not really liberal even though you are pro-choice and want shelters for the needy. There are plenty of pro-choice republicans and many compassionate conservatives who think it's good for government to help those in need STOP being in need via a short term handout and a long term hand up.

To coin a label, I would call you a compassionate, pro-defense libertarian. You probably will find candidates most closely matching your convictions in the republican and libertarian parties, though there are some democrats (Joe Lieberman, Zell Miller) who are not neo-liberals. You may find the libertarians more fractured than the pubblies or the dems; I have not found this to be true, only that they tend to be more honest and vocal about their opinions, and they seem to get hung up peripheral matters like guns and drugs instead of the more important issues.

Answer 3

It's nice to see someone actually putting thought into their political orientation rather than just going along with friends or what celebrities say you should do. I don't know what you wean by "choose your own choices", but I'll assume you are addressing abortion issues. Let's leave President Bush out of the discussion - he is but one man and does not define a Political Party. Do you want the current laws enforced? Do you want less government interference in your decision making? Do you want the right to choose health care providers, insurance companies, and schools for your kids? You sound a lot like me in that you don't follow every party line out there. I am pro choice, but mostly conservative on other social issues (help people to help themselves - no handouts). I too believe in this war and in protecting our homeland and foreign interests. I don't like how democrats tend to embrace universal health care, and other socialist ideals. I think a good number of Republicans worry too much about the Party Line and never reveal their true feelings on issues. I consider myself a "Conservative Independent", and actually tend to agree with a great deal of what the Libertarian Party believes in - Smaller Gov't, less taxes, more independence. We are a Country founded on Independence and a "Can Do" type of attitude. I think the problems in Liberal run States show a virtual demise in that spirit.

Answer 4

You sound a lot like myself except for these things: --on abortion (I am ProChoice and I do not believe abortion is murder) I do not think there is anything wrong about homosexuality I do not support pedophiles (you do???) I'm not sure what a 9/11 Truther is...does that mean you think were told the whole true story or not? (I think we were definitely not...too many discrepancies.) I've been labeled as Liberal and I have always voted Democrat. If I had my choice, I'd want Dennis Kucinich as the President of the United States. I just read your Pedophile comment and I'm not sure what you described is a Pedophile. (marriage between a 16 yr old and 21 yr old) You sound Liberal and Democrat to me.

Answer 5

You'd still fall as a republican because except the pro choice part, you are republican.

I am against George Bush
I would pay higher taxes for education and health care reform
I am pro choice
I am anti war

Although I vote democrat, you could classify me as either a libertarian or a socialist.

Answer 6

Sounds to me like you're a mixture of both. Most people don't agree with everything that a conservative or liberal should agree with, which is why usually voters have to make compromises. Its rarely easy to classify somebody 100% as being one or the other. So when you vote, vote for the person you identify with most and agree with most on the issues that matter more to you.

Answer 7

I am a concervative but have some libertarian beliefs yet after reading the following 18 ways on how to be a good liberal I just can't agree with any of them. I agree with you about haveing the right of choice but I think the way it is today more women have abortions for selfish reasons rather then health reasons. If you don't want a baby then take precautions. but a lot don't because they know they can go to the vacume Dr. Anyway see how many of these you agree with.

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Iran or Chinese and North Korean communists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th- graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but PETA activists do.

10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make "The Passion of the Christ" for financial gain only.

12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

16. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

17. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag queens and transvestites should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

18. You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy.

GOD BLESS AMERICA Oops, can't do that either.

Answer 8

If you want to label yourself, you sound more republican to me.

But you should not go with a label - what you need to do is look at the issues that each person running has and their views on them, and then vote for the one that you feel will do what you would do.

I think there are very few voters that are straight one party or another; everyone takes views from each party. It should be less about the parties and more on what the person can/will do for the country.

Answer 9

as far as what you are considered?? i would say a liberal (b/c you are pro-choice) and a republican (b/c you want lower taxes and support bush) your a liberal republican. as far as who you should vote for?? thats up to you. you vote for who believes what you believe. i am liberal as well b/c i am pro-choice.

Answer 10

you sound conservative, I am an independent conservative and do not totally agree with Bush but think he is doing a good job, I totally disagree with liberalism, they want to turn America into Europe, they have no backbone, or morals. A vote for liberals is a vote to gut America. hope this opinion helps.
