Me being a conservative, I'd say conservatives, because it's just the nature of a conservative to not trust a big over-reaching government. And by trust I don't just mean to expect the government to have malicious intent and hidden agendas, but more so just not to trust them to be competent. I'd rather wear a tinfoil hat sometimes than have my head in the sand.

Also poll is poorly worded, conservative and liberal are not parties. I'm conservative but not aligned with any party.

Republicans BY FAR. So I picked that and I think I am centerish (but doesn't everyone). Modern republicans are not conservative at all, thouggh.

So tin foil hat? What do you mean exactly about that statement.

Someone that has the audacity to state that our government would ever lie to us such as:

Do you believe the Gulf of Tonkin was a staged event?
Did the CIA over throw and elected sitting president and help instal the Shah of Iran?

Things like that, oh and by the way the government now admits to these.

Or are you saying that someone says something you disagree with, that makes them a tin foil hat. Please clarify. Thanks in advance

Edit, I see by your poll you believe in the tin foil hat left right paradigm MSM programing, there did I do that correctly.

I think both parties are full of crap, but generally speaking your conspiracy theory people all seem to think that it is the Republicans doing stuff like assassinating JFK, or causing 9-11 to get oil, or trying to start a new world order etc.. It is only this recent "tea party" movement that really seems to be getting some crazy conservatives coming out with their whole "Obama is a communist plot" stuff. I don't really see where you can blame a party for some of its members being crazy. The fact that they are mentally unstable pretty muhc negates their ability to be able to buy into either political philosophy.

He means someone likely to believe in everything from controversial theories (example: US gov't blew up the WTC with explosives and caused the death of ~4000 americans; moon landings were faked here on Earth) to outrageous conspiracies (fluorinated water is a form of mind control, UFOs abduct people and perform experiments on them and so on).

THAT is a general definition of a tinfoil hatter.
