Thanks ..only, I didn't vote libertarian because I have never voted before, because I thought there were no good political options until a few months ago.

So I can't really vote on this poll at the moment, or can I? :?



BTW, Thank you, Axelkat. :)

There was a fourth choice which did not show up. It was, "I didn't vote"

I didn't vote, either. The chances of a single vote influencing the outcome of a presidential election are essentially zero, so you trade your time for nothing (except possibly principle) if you vote.

I didn't vote for Badnarik, but I did vote for a few Libertarians for local races.

I am not old enough to vote yet. Even though I live in the US, I'm not sure if I will ever be eligible to vote. My political beliefs don't really seem to go along with any certain party. I am left-wing (both Republicans and Democrats are much more right-wing than I am), but I like a lot of what Libertarians stand for.

i believe the root word is liberty. The United states has several main liberal parties. The green party(Nader), the social workers party(similar to socialist), and of course libertarian.

So this means about 50% of us are Libertarian???

Interesting.

36% of people score libertarian when they take the "Worlds Smallest Political Quiz".

I hope everybody will eventually take it. We could actually take over America!! !! Wooohoooo!

Go Libertarians!

(I just knew us aspies would be predominantly libertarian.)

I'm not surprised; I did. That doesn't mean all of should support the party, however. I've studied their platform repeatedly and their beliefs are incredibly extreme. They're the liberal equivalent of the Constitution Party.

Do you think most of the people that scored libertarian would agree, for example:
    That all drugs, even harmful ones with no medical value, should be legalized?
    That all taxes should be repealed?
    That foreign aid should be entirely voluntary?
    That Welfare should be eliminated?
    That Public Education should be eliminated?
    That "Hate Crime" laws should be eliminated?
    That Social Security should be completely privatized?
    That the US should withdraw from the UN?
There's sure to be plenty of people that agree with the basic libertarian ideology. What is preached by the party, however, is an extreme version of it.

So did I (but I scored "moderate conservative" on the ontheissues.org version). I'm surprised that there are people who don't, considering the questions they chose.

Why not?

I strongly agree with this one.

also, lets abolish the stupid patriot act. Ive noticed a lot of aspies are quite liberal. In this way we can communicate better amongst fellow aspies then the NTs can among themselves
