Just because I'm curious, and the first one was incomplete.

Well I am a Libertarian.
#3
I'm against any\all politics and any\all politicians. I find politics to be crass, rediculous, and pure evil and politicians to be arrogant, manipulative egocentric dimwits. :mad: I loathe the way liberals and conservatives are constantly snarling at each other and believing that anybody on "the other side" is automatically evil. There are some that even believe that our president is evil simply because he won and their candidate lost! And I won't go on about members of other countries who think Americans are stupid because our politics are different from theirs! Can't everybody just get along? Why does everything have to be a war? :thumbsdown:

As for the way I vote, I don't. Gladly. I will vote when they actually have candidates and platforms that aren't rediculous, self-serving, and stupid.

And that's my take on poiltics. Thank you for enduring my rant. I'll go away, now. :p

May I ask what about Obama makes you think he's ridiculous, self-serving and/or stupid?

Have you ever considered voting third party? If not, why not, and if the "why not" is the same as above, what specifically makes you think that they're all ridiculous, self-serving and stupid besides ingrained cynicism(not saying that that cynicism doesn't have a root cause, but I do think there's a lot of people who have been so disappointed by politicians of the past that it's not possible for any sincere politician to reverse that)?

I'm a moderate Liberal. Because I'm an active Catholic who lives in the U.S., obviously I'm going to have conservative views on certain issues.

So I'm essentially a middle of the road voter. I've always leaned towards Democratics, but I'll vote for the individual who I believe will do the best in representing my views, regardless of the political party they are a part of. :)

I think Obama's done a pretty good job thus far in his presidential term. It does help that he has the Clinton's on his side as well. :thumbsup:

My politics tend to be left-of-center. I guess in that sense I'm more of a progressive. I used to think of myself as Libertarian, but once the Tea Party came in and seemingly hijacked it, I no longer wanted to identified as one.

Well i was an Obama voter but Ive since changed my mind and will now vote for Ron Paul in 2012. The man has a solid financial foundation and can get us on the right track. If the economy needs someone its Ron Paul.

Its time to restore sound financial practices

I don't really know the best definition for each of those labels. I find myself more conservative in my voting but I hate extremes on both ends. And lately it seems the conservative Republicans running have (for the most part) been walking more of a middle ground and the liberal Democrats running have (for the most part) been walking more to the extreme left. Extreme Democrats scare me, which is the case with our current president. His health care plan really scares me. :eek:
