CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I've voted for president four times and voted for the democrat each time.
I think I'm a little more of a moderate than I was 10-15 years ago. I would have to consider voting for a Republican in 2008, especially if Hillary Clinton gets the Democratic nomination.
Attention mods: I'm not trying to start a political debate in this forum, I'm just detailing my political leanings. Which should be fine as long as no one comments on them and future posters in this thread only list their leanings.

I voted Democrat in my late teens/early 20s, then started voting Republican about 10 years ago. I'm more of an Independent these days say my vote could go either way depending on the candidate.

I voted for Peroutka this last time because Bush was not conservative enough for my vote.

I never have been a radical when it comes to politics. I am registered to vote, but under the non-partisan ticket. This is because I hold the belief that there is good and bad in all parties. I vote for the person.

Yes. I used to always vote Republican. I'll not be doing that so readily anymore.

Thankful75 said:Still a Conservative here!! Glad that they are back in leadership!!
Like I said not conservative enough for my vote.
I am more conservative now than I was say 10 years ago, but lately I have been learning tolerance for people I disagree with. I think that is where politics has gone wrong in the USA. We now have to personally attack those we disagree with. I don't think that is very Christian. So I am trying to not hate those I disagree with. Or rather I am working very hard on not confusing the two emotions/positions.

I dont know much about American politics.... so far I am the only Canadian to answer this thread on political view. Its nice to have someone in leadership now that doesnt say yes to anything just to get votes. Mr Harper has a strong faith in God and good values. I believe he will help turn Canada back to a Godly nation. Politics is a sticky subject no matter what country people live in.

sorry did not see the maple leaf. But I did feel like my second paragraph better answered the original poster.

When i was younger (teens, 20s), I tended to go Conservative much more. Then I saw the effect Conservative policies were having on people. (I was living in the US at the time), and I became democrat/Liberal.

I realized that my previous political party affiliation didn't adequately represent my beliefs. Not that the Libertarian party is a perfect fit (mostly over the healthcare issue), but it's close enough.
