POLL: What political philosophy/affiliation are you (if any)?
I am asking because I look at some of these posts here and I realize about 75% of posters here are liberals/far left wing extremist.
If you are all kind enough to vote here, we will soon find out. Don't be coy, come on, let's all vote and see what our "board community" is like today.
NV: I think you may have some problems with your poll. You seem to already assume (as your post backs up) that 75% of us are "far left wing extremists" and so instead of putting,
Democrat/Liberal like you put Republican/conservative - you put Dem/Liberal - quasi socialist? Seriously????? And you expect us to take THAT seriously? I would be happy to respond to the poll, but you really need to work on it.
I consider myself to be a bleeding heart liberal. I believe in social programs like education, feeding/clothing/housing the poor (even though I am personally agnostic, I believe it was Jesus who mentioned taking care of the poor over 700 times in the bible and so I wonder why so many, self avowed Christian conservatives reject this idea and why a liberal is looked down upon for wanting to help the poor...), keeping our streets safe, our cops and firemen paid, etc (you know the rest).
However, contrary to popular belief - I also strongly support our military. Actually, I literally support at least one of them as I am the mother of his children and take care of most aspects of his life while he is out under the ocean somewhere half the year.
You ask us not to be coy, but I'm quite sure no one who comes to this board to shoot off their mouths (as I do) is coy by nature. We all seem to have no problem telling it like it is.
Once again, fantastically balanced and not at all phrased in a complete biased way poll . I seriously hope NirvanaGuy doesn't design public surveys and questionnaires for a living... Really mature... really easy to take seriously...

I was kind of looking for the Anti-American (i.e., Bush supporter) category, but it looks like some focus group must have gotten that one tossed out. But I don't see any reason at all why Anti-American (i.e., Bible-thumping wingnut) wouldn't have made it. That's just plainly an oversight, there...
I am an independent...I swayed back and forth for years....being an independent gives me the liberty to say, these guys stink....and I don't feel like I have to be loyal to a corrupt politician, b/c I am that political party....nor defend him/her/them....which most people do....if your a republican, and that particular party is in the White House...so many people feel loyal to that party, regardless if they are corrupt or not. And I'm sick of it. I wanted to make a stand...for what I believe is write, and not my party's idea of what is right.
Can't vote in the primarys but I wanted to make a statement....
and no matter what anyone says, dems, repubs, they're both corrupt...we need more stronger parties in this country to force our politicians into humblness again, realizing they are working for US, or supposed to be.

I believe that war stinks, but not as much as people like Saddam and Osama.
I believe that when I pay property taxes I have earned the right to say where my daughter goes to school even if some don't like my choice.
I believe that racism is racism no matter what race is being discriminated against.
I believe if you want to come here using LEGAL CHANNELS I am happy to have you here. But if you want to break the law, we have enough criminals here already.
Basically I am what many people here would call a neocon Bible thumping wingnut.

neocon- When liberals say it the word is a put down to people with conservative Republican ideas. But I take it as a compliment.
Bible thumping- a way liberals say they don't tolerate Christians who actually believe in the Bible
Wing nut- Some one who is crazy. If sanity means killing unborn babies, and letting mass murders live I am proud to be "crazy".
