Political Persuasion Poll of the N&CE Forum

[jameseb]

I was just wondering how many of the visitors to this forum identify themselves politically. I've got a fairly good idea about the regulars, but I'm also curious about the numbers represented here. I know the choices are limited, but when we get down to the basics you pretty much fall into one or the other category.

So.... what's your persuasion, and if you wish, why do you consider yourself one or the other?

 

[nadroj1985]

Well.....since neo-con wasn't on there, I just went with liberal. They're about the same, right?

 

[jameseb]

Not exactly.


I voted conservative... pretty much been that way from birth, much to the chagrin of my parents.

 

[draper]

I voted liberal, only issue I'm not too liberal on is abortions.

 

[Andre3000]

Liberal. I take the same route on abortion as draper.

 

[jameseb]

Yikes! I'm getting outnumbered already!

 

[Bulldog]

[Jeremiah the Bullfrog]

Yikes! I'm getting outnumbered already!

Let us be outnumbered together then!

i guess most people would label me 'liberal' , altho truth be told, i see myself as more of a "believe in the constitutional principles this country was founded on" ... in simpler terms, equality for all, regardless of race, religion, sex, sexuality, or creed. i believe in looking out for the less fortunate members of society. i believe in equal rights for EVERYONE. i believe religion has NO place in government. i believe in the right to criticise the government without being label "anti-patriotic" or "pro-terrorist" or any other baloney. so i guess i'll vote liberal, altho i don't see how that label should apply. why should the above mentioned stances be labeled 'liberal?'

 

[HumbleMan]

I voted conservative. I am glad you didn't attach these labels to parties, though, because I believe the Republican party of our generation has veered sharply left.

I may have said this before.........

I believe in a small government, with most of the burden of the welfare and interest of the citizens being taken care of at the state level.

I believe in a competitive free market.

I believe socialism goes against biblical principal because you are in effect stealing from part of your citizenry (I also believe this about taxes in general, but what can you do?)

I believe that the family is the most important part of your childs life, not pop icons, video games, MTV, or JLo.

I believe that the family and church are responsible for teaching children morals, not schools.

I believe the church should be stepping up more and helping, not dictating, social issues.

I believe in a strong military that shouldn't be used as a police force, either on our borders, or in Kosovo or Haiti.

I believe you can still love and pray for a homosexual while still detesting the lifestyle of homosexuality.

I believe abortions are murders of the soul, but that it is between the woman and God in the end.

I believe in love and prayer, and together I believe they are invincible.

Hope I didn't go on too much........

Well I voted Liberal but really it depends on what the issue is on whether I am liberal or not.

 

[Borealis]

As I'm sure most of you are aware from reading my Politics posts, I'm quite obviously a liberal.

 

[the_malevolent_milk_man]

Fiscal conservative (as in "conserving" conservative, not GW conservative)

Social liberal (Equality, no religious dogma as a laws, etc etc)

 

[Jeremiah the Bullfrog]

As I'm sure most of you are aware from reading my Politics posts, I'm quite obviously a liberal.

In the Classical sense, yes.

 

[ThePhoenix]

Mixture of traditional conservative and liberal. I don't have a neo-con bone in my body though.

 

[Borealis]

In the Classical sense, yes.

Cookie for the Bullfrog. Do you prefer yours with or without flies?

 

[Mr.Pious]

I'm a Straussian Con of course

 

[tulc]

As I'm sure most of you are aware from reading my Politics posts, I'm quite obviously a liberal.

LOL! LOL!
tulc(still chuckling!)

 

[Philosoft]

Good grief. If ever a poll failed to capture the available spectrum, it's one that reduces ideology to a binary situation.

 

[Jeremiah the Bullfrog]

Cookie for the Bullfrog. Do you prefer yours with or without flies?

Well, I prefer them without the flies. Those are my nighttime snack.
