Are the members of your family the same political party you are? Are you an oldest, middle, or youngest child?

Question

I am the OLDEST of three - 2 girls and 1 boy.
There are absolutely no liberals in my family. Independents...but no liberals.

Answer 1

You act like having a liberal in the family would be a bad thing. It seems to me having you as a relative would be much, much worse. Ever thought about changing your avatar?

Answer 2

I'm the youngest of three. I've been conservative since my late 20's. Before that I was a middle of the road lib. Then I began taking more responsibility, paying more taxes, and raising a family. Although, the first time I could vote, in 1984, I voted for Reagan. He was the only viable option after four years of hell with Carter.
My brother switched to conservative once he sobered up. He's more of one than I am.
My sister has always been conservative.

My parents are divorced.

My dad is an old school "blue dog" FDR Democrat. He hates the so called liberal movement that has been going on for the past 40 years. He's a huge Lieberman fan. He hated the Clinton's in the 90's and still does today.

My mom, unfortunately is a far left leaning lib. She lives on SSI only, is barely able to make ends meet without our help, thinks the Clinton's are gods, hates Bush and all republicans. She never worked a "real" job her entire life, only part time stuff, and never planned or saved for the future. Yet today blames Bush for all her troubles, even though they began 30 years ago and were by her own hand.

Answer 3

I am the oldest. Most of my family is Conservative. The few Liberals we do have live in the Socialist state of California.

I can count 5 veterans, including my wife who retired from the Army after serving 21 years.

Answer 4

Oh Lord no. In my house, I'm the conservative Republican, Mom is a "Blue Dog Democrat", and Dad leans so far left you might expect him to attend a San Francisco "art" exhibit bashing the military - even though he served in the Navy. He's said that he trusts "very little" GWB says and that guns should be outlawed. He's a whacko for the environment too.

And I'm the youngest child. I have two brothers, one of whom lives in NJ.

They both don't want anything to do with the family, but for different reasons.

Answer 5

I'm the middle (of 7) 4 republican(calling themselves independent,of late,Haha),2 Democrat,..1 undecided,at present..However we've all registered differently ,in the past,and none of us are "party" people...Both parents ,usually voted Republican,but not EVERY time,either...My family has always been about informative actions,and not nose-ring directed by a "party",and what we consider best for the nation,not our own personal betterment ( we ALL served in the military too,except Mom,by the way,in case some people might think that patriotism is only on one side of the political spectrum..)

Answer 6

My mother and father never would discuss politics in front of us. They felt that we should make up our own minds. I don't feel they had a party affiliation per se. I am the oldest of two children. My views are Conservative. My views, when I was younger, and impressionable, tended toward the Liberal. As I became more mature, and educated in politics, I realized that Conservatism was the only way to maintain an individual freedom and more. I have a brother who is a die hard Liberal.

Answer 7

I am the oldest of two. I'm 14 years older than my brother. He's a Conservative as are my mother and step dad. My "biological" dad was a stone cold Liberal, thought Clinton was the man.. Needless to say, he was an "old hippie" whom lived hard and died too young (62). He also played the drums in his band if that tells you anything about his personality. He was a good man though. He never personally attacked anyone on either side of the political spectrum, and was loved by many Conservatives and Libs alike. I think if he'd of lived longer I could of converted him.


I'd like to add that my mother and step dad are both successful people and own their own business, plus mom is very educated. Both have worked hard for all they have. I think that comes along with the territory of being Conservative too. You know what it's like to work hard for what you have....

Answer 8

ideal, i'm additionally the youngest of 8 yet i do now not somewhat have confidence what you stated. the ingredient I easily have learnt approximately existence is that it is not appropriate who's the eldest or the youngest. which you're the youngest does now not propose that the others will pass away till now you. hi! who stated you that the youngest are the spoilt ones...... kidding you're precise there, yet that doesn't extremely have some thing to do with strategies.

Answer 9

Youngest. Older brother is apolitical. Father was an old-school Democrat. He voted for people like Kennedy and McGovern, but became disillusioned with them during the Clinton years. Mother is a moderate Republican but she hates what the Republican party has become. She actually voted for Democrat in 2004 for the first time since Kennedy. I am a classic (not socialist) liberal. I tend to vote 3rd party lately.

Answer 10

Well my brother is a very strong liberal of the Massachusetts variety,while I happen to be moderate independent,but still leaning towards the left sometimes on certain issues.My mother is the same as I politically.Her husband is politically just himself.
