ok, married mom not heavily religious, thinks religion and politics need to be kept seperate, also think noone should be able to tell me when or how religious I need to be, I DO believe in teaching my kids to have good morals and be totally responsible for thier actions, as well as thier work load. I dont believe in laziness, and lies... I have friends of several different religious beliefs, and none is superior to another, I think my ex husband is a deadbeat, and can afford a laywer to try to have his support adjusted but cant afford to pay support... I think it is my body, and Im who has to burn in hell if I sin while uising it... but no other human has the right to tell me I am sinning... u know the whole glass houses thing.. Im against huge multinational corporations having small offices out of the nation and getting huge tax breaks for it, Im FOR going to canada for medicine, and taxing the HELL out of ciggarettes, even though until 4 months ago I smoked 2 packs a day, I know money would have made me quit sooner... Im FOR stopping some frivolous lawsuits, but not certian if Im for a cap on med settlements , Im for higher taxes if it means a lower deficit, Im for our troops but not all "for" the initial reasons we went into the war... Im for filibusters, weather they be democratic or republican. Im for the tax law that just has a general tax on everything , but no income tax... Im not sure if Im all for privatizing social security, Im against being bullied by one political party, or threatened in the name of God, Im also against a party that seems weak and off balance with no direction. Im very worried we r headed for a nerw recession and that there wont be employment for many people. Im for the right to bear arms, and to keep pedifiles in prison forever. I think husbands given authority over a brain dead wife, DO have more legal rights than her parents did. Im not however threatened if gays get the right by law to marry or have the same tax, medical , legal rights as married people. what they do in thier beds does not threaten me. and I am not one to judge the sins of another when done by 2 consenting adults. I have no problem with gays in the military it keeps my hetero husband from being drafted....
(even tho he already served 10 yrs and it technically does not apply to him specifically)
I think medical insurance needs revised and radical bible thumping has to stop. so ... anyone have any Idea what political affiliation I am ? or lol need to be ? because frankly I am totally confused.

Hah, you don't need to start slapping labels around. You know what you believe in, so just listen to whoever you have to vote for( or if you're in a debate or something, whatever) and pick who you think shares your belief most. It took me a while to know what liberal and conservative was, truthfully, and it didn't really change anything for me. So don't worry so much about the label, but know what you believe in (and you obviously do).

It's easy to define "liberal" when here at JU - anyone not in step with the Bush Administration's agenda.

Liberal: Isn't that what republicans get to bash? J/K

--Actually, i don't think thats it, i'm not in step with Bush's agenda....and i really don't consider my self liberal...

BTW,this is what i got on the test:

Economic Left/Right: -3.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.49

--I was some what suprised...

I would say that you're an Independent that leans to the left.

Too many want to get trapped into the vote MY party system. You should just prioritize what is most important to you. Then compare the two evils that the parties nominate and deside which will not make you feel dirty voting for.
