Which wing do you belong to?

[ajitpd]

As a non-American it doesn't bother me whether you like Obama or not. I do believe he will become a historical figure in one way or another, as the bar is set too high for him. Eloquence alone cannot replace the actual results.

Having said that, I have been noticing many anti-Obama threads here, a fact, which is kind of amusing in its own way. I almost never participate in Obama discussions as my macroscopic view of American politics does not give me enough tools to carve up a positively contributing post. Still, I am curious; do you consider yourself a right-wing or left-wing when it comes to American politics?

(Of course this post is intended primarily for Americans.)

Right wing conservative.....and goddamn proud of it

 

[Rey C.]

I was never very good at fitting in with the other kids, so... neither. Being a sheep and following the herd just never appealed to me.

Most of my views might be described as "conservative libertarian"... I dunno. Give it a name. :dunno:

 

[Ace Bandage]

I would say that I'm right-wing on most policies. That's not to say that I drink the Kool-Aid and blindly follow all GOP rhetoric, however.

 

[Drederick Tatum]

I'm more centrist but definitely lean to the right.

 

[BlueBalls]

Lefty. :hatsoff:

 

[24788]

I'd say neither, but I'm more republican. I'm confused when it comes to politics. Why can't we just all get along and blow up the damn terrorists?

 

[TrueTranssexual]

There are some ideas that appeal to me from Republicans, but I will have to say Left...because the Christian Right has unfortunately hijacked this party, and the hipocrisy is just astounding.

 

[Ozmanks]

Right wing

 

[PJroast]

Though I'm a bit at odds with our President, I'm more left wing than right. However, I do like some of the republican policies

 

[iluvbriannalove]

left for life

 

[Lucky7000]

No bird flies with one wing.

 

[Will E Worm]

Neither

No bird flies with one wing.

Same bird, same party.

There's no difference in the Republicrats.

 

[Nester6]

Hard core right wing Reagan conservative.

 

[ninetysixcavy]

Independent, but according to Titsrock and his Freeones cronies, I'm a "right wing extremist nutbag/wacko."

Truth be told, I'm liberal when it comes to local (i.e., state policy), but super conservative when it comes to having to bail out California or fighting a war over seas which I do not believe in.

Really, poltical issues are so complex that you have to have a degree in economics/poli-sci/law/international law/history in order to opine on the subject, and I don't know too many people with that degree, so....

Left-Wing

But there's a big difference between USA's politics and the rest of the world :

What is considered as Lefet-Wing in the USA is not left-wing as we knbow it in Europe, It's not some kind of "Labour", it's more like some middle-right wing.

Politicians like Nicolas Sarkozy or Angel Merkel are considered to be right-wing in Europe, but in the US, they woul be considered as Left-wing. They are more like democrative. Rather than someone like Silvio Berlusconi would be considred has right-wing, more like conservative.

 

[DreamSparrow]

Libertarian Left.

 

[hammerer]

libertarian right

 

[JakeSnake]

:dunno:.

Hardcore all the way :nanner:
