How many of you are liberal and what is your age? How many are conservative and what is your age?

Question

I would be interested to see if the results are consistent with an old saying.
PS - Don't want to leave out middle of the roaders either!

Answer 1

I am a 32 year old conservative.

I know where you are going with this...and I like it. I was Liberal until I was 19.


--Wow. I'm a young'un on here!

Answer 2

Independent thinker. 47

Lean left or right based on my own personal beliefs.
Vote for those who share the majority of these beliefs, not based on political rhetoric.
-------------------------------------------
Not this old saying....That has no record of being said by Churchill?

"Conservative by the time you're 35"
"If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain." There is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this. Paul Addison of Edinburgh University makes this comment: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?"

Answer 3

34 Conservative. Bought a clue 1996.

Answer 4

I was a neo-conservative and neo-classisist when the 'neo' actually meant something, and prettymuch party-line Republican (strong defense, low taxes, anti-choice, etc), by my late 20's I was a total small-government Libertarian, stuck with that with decreasing conviction through my 30s. I've moved more towards the center in my 40s. I'm pro-death, now, instead of anti-choice, pro-gay-mariage, and generally a lot more moderate than in my youth. My wife says I'm 'growing young.'

Answer 5

33 Moderate leaning Conservative

Answer 6

19.

Until I was 15, I was a staunch conservative; then at 15-17, I was a liberal. Today I'm more of a moderate-leftist. I'm mostly a conservative on economic issues; on social issues, mostly liberal, and somewhat of a moderate-liberal when it comes to foreign policy.

Answer 7

I am 23 and I consider myself socially liberal, i.e., not against gay marriage, not against abortion, against ridiculous drug laws that fill our prisons.

Economically though, I am conservative. I would like to see a balanced budget, I would like to see less government programs, which in turn would lead to less government spending.

I consider myself a libertarian because I believe the government doesn't need to be involved in every facet of my life. I want small government to handle big things, not a big government that handles small things. Thanks and have a nice day.

Answer 8

I'm a libertarian and I'm 24.

I used to be a more conservative Republican in high school and into my first few years of college.

Answer 9

You mean that old quote from Winston Churchill that goes "If your are 20 and you aren't a liberal, then you have no heart. If you are 40 and you aren't conservative, then you have no brain."

I am 46 in two months and conservative leaning on most issues. Draft Fred Thompson to run for President.

Answer 10

Socially conservative - 51

Been one all my life though

History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside. John F. Kennedy

Answer 11

I'm a 34-year-old conservative, but I'm not a Bushie.
