This thread is NOT intended to turn into a Left vs. Right pissing contest. I'm simply interested in what specifically makes you Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian or Independent.
I'm a Liberal because I believe in or support the following:
I'm anti-war (this is the #1 issue for me)
I'm Pro Choice
I'm pro unions
I fully support welfare or other programs that help the poor
I fully support gay marriage
I believe weed and prostitution should be legalized
I believe in Gov't intervention with most domestic issues
I'm now a supporter of universal health care (it took me awhile to get on board though)
I'm anti-corporation and anti-Wall St. (though these might not be Liberal beliefs)

At first I thought the second item on your list said you were pro unicorns. I need to eat...lol
One of the biggest reasons I vote Democratic is the environment. I'm also pro choice, pro LGBT equality, I believe in social programs that *work*
I am neither, I consider myself independent of those. But I will never vote Republican again. The base has gone way too rabid for my tastes. Not that I think all Republicans are that way but it seems lately enough of them are to scare me out of that party completely regardless of anything they support that I might agree with.
Conservative because I am a Capitalist - make $$$ legit, believe in a small unintrusive fed gov't, believe in state rights - don't need either thinking or making my decisions; I believe in a strong national defense - peace through force if necessary as I recognize there are beyond-rational evil crazy minded people in the world and capitulating to them shows weakness - evil needs to be confronted, silent consent emboldens the behavior to continue & grow; I work, have work ethic, have health care, am building my own retirement, shot guns, don't see color/race, be as gay as you want, believe in God, evolutionist, science minded, pay the IRS and do not taketh; non union, non PC, non apologetic, anti-illegal, anti cradle-to-grave entitlement, anti-socialist, anti-obama, nationalist, self-actualizedModerator cut: language You don't have to like me, I don't have to like you and I won't pretend. But I love you nevertheless. God bless.

so you're against all wars even if a country is being oppressed or threatened by a tyrannical government and/or dictator...

who wants to work when you can sit home all day and collect welfare from the government who confiscates the money from the working population? anyone who actually works is a chump...

so the government can be involved in any aspect of your life as long as they're not interfering with the "right" of a woman to murder her unborn baby?

you wanna force everybody to have subpar healthcare just because 10% or so of the people have a problem with the current system?

so i guess you'd rather live in the stone age where everybody hunted and gathered? no evil corporations or wall street to hurt anybody?
