Since the new administration with the help of the last one and backed by the Democrat controlled congress for the previous two years, I am not a fan of any of the parties.
I would consider myself a very liberal Democrat, on almost all issues except for abortion, where I am pro-life, and education, where I believe parents should have a choice to homeschool or send their kids to private school.
There is still hope for you Just kidding. You don't sound too liberal. I have known a lot of Democrats that aren't very liberal. They may be in a couple of issues, but not when families are mentioned. In this case, they lean conservative. I am a conservative (not a Republican, nor Democrat), but to perhaps the age of 40 I was somewhat liberal (vote Democrat along the crowds in some blue States). My wife has always been conservative, and Christian, and as I got to know her better each day I realized that she always made the right choices on everything she did (and does to this day). It's like another sense to her: she thinks carefully, and comes with the right solution each time. Needless to say, as I aged I changed my ways
"All law is the protection of property rights, all else is policy, and policy requires consent."
Or as stated in the Declaration of Independence:
Job #1 : Secure rights,
Job #2 : Govern those who consent.
Or as the founding generation understood it:
Virginia Constitution, 1776.
SEC. 6. That elections of members to serve as representatives of the people, in assembly, ought to be free; and that all men, having sufficient evidence of permanent common interest with, and attachment to, the community, have the right of suffrage, and cannot be taxed or deprived of their property for public uses, without their own consent, or that of their representatives so elected, nor bound by any law to which they have not, in like manner, assembled, for the public good.
All men ... cannot be taxed without their own consent.
All men ... cannot be deprived of their property for public uses without their own consent.
All men ... cannot be bound by any law that is not for the public good.
Governments that respect the private property rights of the people are a benign but necessary evil.
Governments that destroy private property rights are tyrannical beasts.
In American law, we know that the constitutional government has promised to secure private property rights.
Amendment V, US Constitution 1789
... nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
From the Communist manifesto:
"In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property."
COMMUNISM - the ownership of property, or means of production, distribution and supply, by the whole of a classless society, with wealth shared on the principle of 'to each according to his need', each yielding fully 'according to his ability'.
- - - Webster's Dictionary.
SOCIALISM - A political and economic theory advocating collective ownership of the means of production and control of distribution. It is based upon the belief that all, while contributing to the good of the community, are equally entitled to the care and protection which the community can provide.
--- Webster's dictionary
Since 1935, the USA has been a socialist nation, where no one (who volunteered via FICA) has private property rights. For when the socialist government takes property for failure to pay socialist taxes, or as punishment for those who violate socialist rules, the government does not pay JUST COMPENSATION.
If there is no private property, connect the dots....
Welcome to the United Socialist States of America.

My 401K turned into a 40.1K last fall.
Since the election it has rebounded and is now above where it left off nearly a year ago. I lost some momentum, but it could have been a lot worse, especially if McCain had won and allowed the auto companies to melt down.
Basically libertarian in ideals, but voting predominantly Democrat since 2002 because the Democrats are merely statists, while the Republicans are both statists and mentally disturbed warmongers and torturers.
I'm an advocate of so-called "isolationism".
I also find abortion personally abhorrent, although I would be against its criminalization.
I'm a conservative libertarian (registered Libertarian). I used to consider myself a full-on Republican (before I was old enough to vote), but after I started looking at the issues more in depth, I couldn't in good conscience call myself a Republican. Modern Republicans (specifically neocons) seem to support big government as long as it helps their agenda, and that's just not something I could reconcile with my core principles. At least Libertarians are ideologically consistent.
I would consider myself a very liberal Democrat, on almost all issues except for abortion, where I am pro-life, and education, where I believe parents should have a choice to homeschool or send their kids to private school.
I like most of the libertarian platform but they have some way out there positions same thing with the constitutional party. I vote 70% republican 15% libertarian Adan 15% Democratic.
I try to vote for every non incumbent. Congress was meant to be a temporary position not a career. We need to put in place term limits. Since the fools will not do that as they love the money train we need to vote as if there were.
I am pro life and as strong anti death penalty.
