When filling out my Bio, I wanted to list my accurate political lean. I am not slightly conservative, but I am more Republican than a centrist. Political tests put me at "right-leaning centrist". However, my right-leaning views aren't really conservative, more general Republicanism. I'm a social liberal too.
What do you guys think? Could we add the choice "slightly Republican"?
The entire labeling system is wrong and outdated.
"Liberal" does not apply to most Democrats as they are more socialist than Canada's socialist NDP. Conservative does not apply to me, however most of my posts tend to agree with "conservative" members.
Today, even left and right are absurd. In Canada we have a very strong social safety net, including the ever-so-frightening universal health care....a plan our current Conservative is pouring more and more money into.
In the US you have self identified "liberals" who are really socialist opportunists [usually evidenced that their programs are for 'everyone' else as they opt out]. From there, you have conservatives in varying degrees.
So the choices could read:
Very conservative, nuke Bejing and bring back jobs
A lot conservative - but you're still on your own for medical
Conservative - we'' talk health care but illegals have to be stopped first
Not so conservative - The Keystone goes now
Lukewarm conservative - a health plan that creates jobs
Least conservative - yes to Keystone after massive environmental studies that line the pockets of the new companies we create....and we might consider universal health care..if its "viable"
last but not least
Stupid voters - whatever costs the most
