I just wanted to get an idea of what party the majority of people here would consider themselves to be a part of or generally agree with. Just curious. Thanks.

I don't suscribe to any of the political party idealogies, I tend to lean toward Libertarian with a healthy dose of Nationalism, somewhere around there is good. One of those right wing gun nuts :rofl:

I'm an independant. Being a socialist, privacy advocate, gun nut, who favors strong economic and environmental regulation, I sometimes get along well with Democrats. Most of the time I hate them as much as the rest of the politicians.

However, I liked seeing John McCain on Letterman last night, and I would have voted for him if he'd gotten to run against Gore.

I'm very happy VT has the elected representatives it has, and I plan to support Bernie Sanders for Senate, and I'll probably vote for a Republican as his replacement: Major Gen. Martha Rainville — who heads the Vermont National Guard.

I'd hardly call a different party getting elected "falling"...

Anyways, he's not really been there long enough to have done much of anything yet.

I'll just sit out on the poll, seeing as it seems designed for Americans only

Registered Republican but I consider myself more aligned with the Libertarians.

I consider myself a moderate, though I'm registered as a Democrat.

If John McCain runs for president in 2008, I may register as a Republican just to support him in the primary. I think he'd probably be a more effective president than Hilary Clinton anyways.

I can't understand why anyone would be proud to be considered a "fundmentalist." It's a synonym for unreasonable.

For those of you outside the US, I appologize. I should've designated this for American politics. Now that you mention it though, I think I would like to know more about Canadian politics.

I'm a registered Republican, but I'm more "middle of the road". I vote for whomever tickles my fancy the most.

Not only has he not been in power long enough, he holds a very slim majority of electoral seats. It will be interesting to see if he actually gets the chance to do anything before we end up back at the polls once again. :)

I vote other, as I too am Canadian and don't seem to really fit anywhere.

I'm a registered Independent because I believe that political parties are seriously damaging this country (U.S.) just as George Washington feared they would.

I have always believed that Mickey Mouse would be a fine president choice but they do not have the funny party yet so until then I'm a Republican that votes outside his own party for the canidates are all sorry in my opinion.

Registered Republican so I can vote in the primaries, until they found a Moderate party. I thought about Independent, but there are usually no primaries and anyone can run in that party as a Nazi or a Pacifist and I typically won't vote for someone only because they're different. Baasically, I'm a fiscal conservative (not that either party really represents that philosophy any more), and socially, I'm all over the spectrum, but I average out to be moderate there.

I second that.

I don't know who coined the phrase "political agnostic", but I think I'm one of those. I'm conservative by Massachusetts standards, but probably closer to the middle-of-the-road in terms of national standards.

Me too....

Im not an American, but my other half is, and chances are we will end up going back over there, so I may need to read up on the different groups....Im hoping we will compromise and live in Canada ;)
