what political party am I?

Question

Im not sure how to describe myself. Im pro- life, I'm not anti gay. I dont believe in owning guns, I'm against war (I know it's for a reason but I changed my mind about it after I saw news story after news story about these 18-20 year olds fighting and being murdered). I dont believe in the death penalty, and I think taxes should be lowered.

I have some liberal views, and some conservative views, so I'm not sure how I would describe myself politically?

(By the way, if you disagree with my views, answering just to tell me that I'm stupid or something isnt original, and isnt neccessary)

Answer 1

Join either party or don't bother to belong to any party. You can belong to either one. You'd simply be a moderate in whichever party you chose to belong to.

My favorite definitions of the words liberal and conservative appeared in a book called "The Federal Courts, Politics, and the Rule of Law," by John C. Hughes (published 1995):

"In the contemporary political context, those who fear conformity have tended to describe themselves as liberal and have tended to applaud judicial 'protection' of human rights. Those who fear diversity have tended to call themselves conservatives and have been appalled by judicial 'usurpation' of the majority's discretion to form the kind of community it finds most conducive to its own happiness. The former tends to approve of the expansive theories of constitutional interpretation, while the latter tends to prefer the restrained theories of judicial review. These alignments are neither perfect nor inevitable, but the debate has surely been shrill."

How would you rate yourself based on the above?

Answer 2

any party you want to be in. I'm a republican but I'm, not against gays, just because Democrats tell you that you have to believe everything their party tells you doesn't mean other parties have that rule.

Believe whatever you want, maybe Libertarian they are a mix, or just independent, but just pick the party that suites you the most, and you can still believe whatever you want even if it's not totally within the parties beliefs.

I was in broadcasting as a major and don't believe everything you hear them say, investigate when they have a story, because odds are it's biased in some way or another. They use a technique called agenda setting which skews you to one side or another. I'm not saying to go with my beliefs I'm just saying don't let the news tell you what to believe either.

The Tea occasion flow has no crucial management yet is composed of a unfastened association of national and local communities that confirm their own systems and agendas. The Tea occasion flow has been stated as an occasion of grassroots political pastime, besides the shown fact that it has additionally been stated as an occasion of astroturfing. The Tea occasion's maximum talked approximately national figures contain Republican politicians which includes Dick Armey and Sarah Palin. As of 2010, the Tea occasion flow isn't a countrywide political occasion, yet has cautioned Republican applicants. A Gallup ballot shows very very nearly 80% of Tea Partiers evaluate themselves to be Republicans

Ooo! Ooo!
This is one of those guessing game riddles, right? ;)
Ummm, er, um, let me see . . . wait just a second . . .
I KNOW! I KNOW!
It's the "Confused, Young American" party!!! Right???

Seriously, though, I'm very glad to see that you have an interest in politics (Lord knows we all need to be, these days!). But, nobody but can decide a particular party for you; it's one of those "adult" things you have to decide for yourself.

Party affiliation does not require a particular point-of-view.
There are plenty of homophobic, pro-gun, Democrats,
as well as quite a few pro-choice, anti-war, Republicans!
You should concentrate on the candidates, not their party.

Regardless, you need not belong to any particular party to vote in most local, State, or National *general* elections, at least in the USA (assuming that's where you live!). But, if you do not register under a particular party, then you cannot vote in any party-specific elections, such as with primaries (some States allow you to designate or change parties at that time, but it's best to check in advance). Some States require you to register under a particular party, but most allow you to select "Independent", which won't allow you to vote in a Democratic or Republican primary, but at least you will "belong" to a party.

Most importantly, keep in mind that you are free to vote for any candidate in any party you wish, regardless of your affiliation, but just make gosh-darned sure that you are a qualified, registered voter!!! You may determine that by visiting your local Town Hall, County Clerk's office, and/or, in some case, your Motor Vehicle department.

FWIW, I am registered with one party, but have voted for qualified candidates in other parties; I vote for the best candidate, regardless of their party affiliation (think of it this way: some elected officials have changed parties during their careers, which means even *they* get it "wrong"!). And I have great disdain for those who vote straight along party lines, simply because they belong to that party, at the cost of rejecting a better candidate, just because he or she is in a different party.

Imagine this absolutely, 100%, totally fictional scenario:
There are two candidates in different parties.
One is highly-respected, intelligent, articulate, savvy, and has known leaders from around the world, while the other is a barely known, country bumpkin, who has barely been outside his home State, and who thinks Latin is the language of Latinos. Based solely on this description, who would you vote for? What if that person is in a different party than yours? Would you still vote for him/her?

Vote well (if not often!). ;)

Answer 5

Well, I consider myself a liberal and agree with many of your views. I think taxes should be lower for families and large companies should be paying more than they do now.
