I dont see socially liberal and fiscally conservative as an option. So i didnt vote. Nor Libertarian which would probably be the closest.

i don't pay attention to politics for the most part. i've never voted. not a good attitude to have but i just don't care. i'm one of those people who feels that my 1 vote in hundred of millions won't matter (especially in my state because it always goes one way anyways) so i just couldn't care less.

Hmmm ... that's exactly what I would have voted for as well.
Fiscal conservative is right there in the poll. That implies you are conservative about only fiscal issues and moderate to liberal for social issues.

Not sure why social conservative is on the list. I've never heard of a social conservative fiscal liberal before.

Libertarian (which encompasses anarchists) should have been on the list instead. Also, progressive should have been an option.

EDIT: Oh jeez, PokerGuy is a liberal now I guess. Heh. Loki did you switch recently? I always thought you were the fiscal conservative type.

Blue dog democrats get no love (socially liberal and fiscally conservative). I didn't vote in this poll for that reason either.

You can be fiscally conservative and socially liberal or you can be fiscally conservative and socially conservative. I don't see why you lump these groups together. Being fiscally conservative by no means implies that you are only conservative about fiscal issues.

I think George Bush Jr. probably is pretty close to that mark (compassionate conservative was a common phrase of his where compassion is generally a fiscal liberal idea). And Bush Jr. certainly was freespending. In 2000 the US government spent $1.79T, in 2008 it spent $2.98T (a 66.7% increase in spending in 8 years is very liberal in spending). In comparison, Clinton increased spending 28.5% in his 8-year term, and Obama is on track to increase spending 34% in his 8 years but that may vary a bit since there is still time.

There isn't a great example in the US political parties. But this pretty much describes the typical Catholic voter.

...
If you are fiscally conservative and socially conservative, isn't that just conservative? That option is on the poll already.

Isn't it generally accepted that Bush was a Neocon? I guess that would be the option for that mentality.

Not liberal in any way, hate all the religious and pro-life crap of the conservatives but believe in their immigration and social (anti) engineering values.

A pole without raging morons doesn't feel right.
Agreed, poahl is incomplete

I'm fairly centrist but with liberal leanings on some things and conservative leanings on others.

I think abortion should be legal and religion has absolutely zero place in politics.

This country is run by special interest and the common man doesn't matter one bit. The only way to fix this country is to get money out of politics.

Is the question "What is ATOT's leaning?" or "What is my leaning?"
