"How would you describe your political ideology?"

[Renew Deal]

I got this as a Zogby question. How would you rate yourself?

On a scale of 1 to 9 with 1 being extremely liberal and 9 being extremely conservative, how would you describe your political ideology?

[deacon]

1. A Bill Clinton/Obama Democrat thats liberal on some issues. n/t

[jonathon]

2. Reality Based

[Grand Taurean]

3. Eclectic-Moderate

[HeresyLives]

4. Socially progressive, fiscally conservative.

Unfortunately the govt in my country, Canada, is socially regressive, and fiscally berserk.

13. Even Michelle Jean reading the throne speech couldn't make it sound

palitable. I'm going to be so pissed off and so are canadians if Harper doesn't renew her governor generalship. I think the whole country will see harper for the weak (I want to be the star) leader that he is if he lets such a wonderful governor general go.

18. No, it was an hour of rubbish.

The budget will be as well by the sound of it.

If Canadians get fed up enough, they'll chuck Harper out, and I'll cheer. :)

5. Centrist-moderate

[bemildred]

6. Pragmatic and un-ideological. Dogma is for tools. nt

[Sebastian Doyle]

9. Oh come on!

That was a great movie. Probably my favorite Kevin Smith film to this day, and I ain't even Catholic!

[bemildred]

12. Yup, good movie. nt

[Lyric]

7. On that scale? 2.

I'm not out dumping paint on ladies in fur coats, but I'm not at home weeping over it either, know what I mean?

[FredStembottom]

8. VERY economically Liberal.........

somewhat socially conservative - but with asterisks all over the place.

[Ardent15]

10. Very liberally socially, a bit more moderate on foreign policy and economics...

...but still liberal.

[applegrove]

11. I don't fit. I believe in universal child care and health care but I also

don't think the government should go into debt unless it is a recession.

[Ozymanithrax]

14. The general definition of Liberal from the Oxford Concise dictionary of politics...

in part...

"The belief that it is the aim of politics to preserve individual rights and to maximize freedom of choice."

Well, I'm all over that.

But I have no idea what you or Zogby mean by liberal.

What policies would make me a 1, a 2, or a 9?

[Johonny]

15. clearly more liberal than the elected officials that represent me

but not as liberal as the person who made their dog a vegetarian.

[harun]

17. LOL. I can say I am more Liberal than any member of Congress yet

don't consider myself that far left actually.

[cliffordu]

16. laissez faire

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. Anarchist - aka: Left Libertarian

[Renew Deal]

20. This post proves once and for all that this website has moved to the right.

:silly:

[Taitertots]

21. Paternal Realist with a liberal base

Universal Single Payer
Progressive Income tax
End both wars, NOW
Pro Choice
Against "free" trade, in favor of fair trade
Choice architecture for solving other problems

[sendero]

22. I don't fit..

... neatly into the "liberal-conservative" continuum. And most people who do are, well, they don't think for themselves we'll just say.

[kctim]

23. Depends on who is judging

Conservatives put me at a 2 or 3: atheist, pro abortion, pro gay marriage, pro-choice for ALL and pro individual rights for ALL, I vote for the person not the party
and liberals put me at a 9: pro 2nd Amendment, pro low taxes, pro military, pro-choice for ALL and pro individual rights for ALL, I vote for the person not the party

[tabbycat31]

24. liberal but realist

I'm not going to let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
