I guess I'm all for the green party but dunno that much about it :/

For me the Republicans are sort of self righteous and the Democrates are the same way ... Whenever one screws up the other jumps aboard and mocks one another for their mess ups.

I have this belief that no matter whom we vote in, the candidate is only looking after his or her's own career and cares less about the public's interests :(

I read someone (sorry dont remember who) being referred to as "notoriously apolitical"
And i decided that is what i am too: apolitical.
I think the whole system is messed up and corrupt and choosing sides seems pointless.

While I tend to lean a bit conservative...I can't really say that I have political views. I'm not even registered to vote, because I don't really care for the way the government works in this country.

Sometimes I think this country needs a king.

I'm a liberal-leading moderate. I am all for a multi-party system in my country, though. Two parties just won't cut it for me now.

I'm pretty liberal on lots of things & like the ideals the democrats are supposed to have but think Obama & some others in the party are sellouts. I like a lot of the ideals of the green party too but think they would be better off teaming up with democrats instead of being a 3rd party because both parties divide the liberal vote & thus make it easier for Republicans sense it's whoever gets the most votes with no run-offs if neither member in the two party system get over 50% of the vote. I also think the green party was better before Ralph Nader left & became an independent. I rather say I'm a socialist/progressive instead of being pigeonheld into a party.

I can't say I'm a big fan of either. For many years, I considered myself conservative, since everyone else in the family was and I didn't know much about politics at the time. When I became eligible to vote and more aware of each party's viewpoints, I realized that conservative views did not match my views, especially regarding the environment. Combined with some bad experiences with a few ultra-conservative people, I gradually shifted over to the other side, although the Democratic party still leaves some things to be desired too. Voting comes down to picking the "lesser of two evils".

I know people who are on both sides of the fence, and if they don't agree with me, I let them be - who they want to vote for is none of my business - provided that they don't try and shove propaganda down my throat.

Way left of center, somewhere around the region of Marx and Trotsky. If you think I'm nuts about this then take a look around you and ask how Capitalism worked out.

I don't think you're nuts, but just because Capitalism isn't very good (pure Capitalism is even worse) doesn't mean that Marxism is better.

I'm Independent I guess... Liberal on some things, Conservative on others. I don't like how the US works, though and would like a complete restructuring (not sure exactly how, but there's got to be something better) of the US government and economy.
