Do you consider yourself liberal or conservative?

Social Liberal
Fiscal Conservative

Then you would be moderate. That's what I am. :D

Moderate to somewhat conservative.

No, that's not quite a moderate. A moderate is someone who is in the middle on both social and fiscal issues. Socially liberal and fiscally conservative is more libertarian than moderate.

That's not a moderate. A moderate would be in the "middle" on both of those issues. Of course, what's defined by the corporate media as the "middle" in the US isn't the real middle.

That (libertarian) is about as close to a label as I get...but even that is not quite accurate

Yes, considering the traditional political spectrum has liberals in the middle with socialists on the left and conservatives on the right. And since "liberal" in terms of American politics means far left, coupled with the fact that a large majority of Americans are infact, liberals (just left and right wing variants of them), you have one kooky American political spectrum.

Liberal, especially on social issues.

Moderate, although I lean in the Conservative and Libertarian direction.

Moderate leaning towards conservatives on social issues. Socialist (left) when it comes to fiscal.

I'm more liberal when it comes to social issues and more conservative when it comes to economical issues but it really depends on the issue. Abortion I am both conservative and liberal, on gun control I'm a flaming conservative, and on civil rights I'm a flaming liberal except for Affirmative Action.

erm Libertarian?

I decline to state because I don't consider myself to be either one.

Though some of those questions are really stupid.

I would consider myself a libertarian, and the closest thing on the poll that I would relate to would be very conservative, with a some differences here and there about beliefs.

Depends on the issue.

Its just sarcasm.... gee

Moderate, I think

I consider myself pretty conservative, but I'm for gay marriage, gays being able to adopt, and against the dealth penalty. And to think this White House calls me a rightwing extremist all because I don't support abortion....:?

You're starting to pickup on why the conservative/liberal paradigm is irrational.

Labour party in the UK, so liberal i guess

I'm a Libervative. Or is it a Conserberal?

On a side note, you all may want to take a look at the Political Compass' icon quiz. You'll never see Gandhi the same way again:

The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs.~Mahatma Gandhi, on absolute non-violence, speaking to biographer Louis Fisher in June 1946.

I cant imagine myself caring any less about politics or government. In the end i have no say and sans having a position of power, i know i cant change anything that affects myself directly.

The theory that "every vote counts" is a fallacy. Im in that select demographic that no candidate is going to do anything for regardless so voting and or caring who wins/makes the decisions is pointless by default.

And i wont be burdened by the "its your duty to vote" jargon either. Its not my duty to represent a candidate who is NOT going to represent me.

My views are neither here nor there. Im not for or against anything. If someone wants to abort their child, its not my place to care. If someone wants to marry someone of the same sex...again its not my business or my job to give a **** either way.

I believe in America we're starting to move away from that.

I'm a moderate-strong conservative. In Australia there is no party that represents 'liberal' views. There are the Liberals (conservative), Democrats/Family First (centralists), Labour (social democratic) and Greens (socialists), but nothing in the form of 'liberal'

labour stand for social liberalism, which would be an extreme form of liberalism in america

I took a quiz, here are the results:

Result: Conservative
This quiz has categorised you as a Conservative. You believe in a limited/minimal role in the government to solve social problems, and instead believe economic growth is paramount. It is possible you may identify with the "religious right" as well.
Result Breakdown:
91% Conservative
79% Libertarian
65% Liberal
41% Fascist/Radical Right
38% Social Democrat
14% Communist/Radical Left

With the way the conservatives are currently and continually making arguments that don't hold water or were things they were for or against only a couple of years ago I just can't get behind that current political group right now. Liberal for me.
