I can say that I am mainly Conservative with strong Libertarian leanings.

Socialist, but unaffiliated with any particular party.

Generally liberal and I typically vote liberal but I also have several perspectives that are very conservative.

I am Communist (but also Christian). Seems like an oxymoron, but that's what I am. I believe in the economic ideals of communism, but in freedom of religion for all people.

Edit: There are very few communist candidates around here though, and none in my jurisdiction. When it is time to vote, I will vote for the person that has the best plans to better the community (don't know how it works in the states, but here we vote local and those votes decide who is prime minister--we don't actually vote in a prime minister). If I don't like any of the candidates, I just spoil the ballot.

I'm a conservative Republican, though I try not to get into the whole religion-and-politics discussions with people I don't know. Everyone has their political leanings.

None of them. Issues are more important than affiliation.

Neither. Party affiliation is limiting and at times unintelligent. I vote by my conscience and by my intellect, and you can't nail that down by a party.

THISSS^^^^. I would be labelled a conservative, but I completely disagree with the crap democrats and republicans throw out there. We can't side with a party just to say we did, we have to vote and do to the law according to our beliefs and our beliefs alone. Otherwise we'd end up changing our beliefs for the sake of staying with the party. No. No no no no no no no.

... and the Republicans wonder why Mittpuppet lost the election.

To see why, check out YouTube's "Mitt Romney Style". Be advised that the F-bomb is dropped at 25 seconds, with the B-bomb dropped a few seconds later, which is why I won't post a direct link to it here.

I'm an anarchist and my shining example of a peaceful and intelligent model - what the best of anarchism can be - is the anthropologist David Graeber: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Graeber

democratic because this single-issue voter always is frustrated with republicans' continued obstruction of meaningful health care financing reform which would enable working class people to get affordable health care [without losing their ability to sue for redress of damages from quacks].

I don't follow politics. When time comes to vote, I bring up each party's platform for this specific election on the computer and pick the one least likely to have a negative effect on my life. Suppose I should mention I live in Canada. There are several political parties here.

Libertarian. However I'm anti-abortion. My solution to health care reform is just let me buy all my own drugs off alibaba.com and administer them myself without letting the pesky FDA tell me what to do. Yeah.

The candidates from both the Republican and Democratic parties were/are both pro-war and pro-police state. I don't identify with either of them.

I like what the Green party says but I have a feeling that the reality would be too socialist for my liking. On the other hand, I think maybe the Libertarians go too far in the opposite direction.

I guess if I had to pick I'd go with Libertarian.
