STIS: Which poilitcal party am I?

Posted by Fuzzy (aka mrfuzzy) Aug 3 '10, 11:54

I don't really pay any attention to the smaller parties. So I'm sure there is one that more closely matches my idealogy than either of the big 2.

I am a registered Republican. I believe in smaller government and fiscal responsibility. I believe in self reliance far more than government entitlement programs. I believe that abortion is wrong, but the government has no right to mandate it. I believe in a strong military. I believe that drugs and prostitution should be legalized, regulated, and taxed.

What am I?

This largely depends on what you mean my "small government". - not2fast Aug 3, 12:31
Either old-school moderate Republican or a classic libertarian. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 12:02

- Oh come on. Those are as real as Sasquatch, Nessie and ROUSs. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 12:01 1
  - *pounces onto your shoulder* -- nm - Moderate Republican Aug 3, 12:02
You sound like a GOP member except for that last sentence. Not sure you fit into either big party or a fringe party. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:57 8
- I have long considered myself GOP, but they seem to have abondoned fiscal responsibility and embraced religious nutcasery. I don't like that. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 11:58 7
  - This is why when people ask me, I respond Conservative, not Republican. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 12:03 1
    - Sure, I consider myself conservative though I know my opinion on hookers & crack doesn't fit with that. I also don't believe in censorship. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 12:07
  - Maybe you should be an independent. You wouldn't get to vote in a primary but if you don't agree w/the party I see no point in - Krusty Aug 3, 12:03 2
    - the problem with that is when the primary is de facto the general election, due to one party having an overwhelming majority - znufrii Aug 3, 12:04 1
      - Sadly, you're right. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 12:11
  - where do you stand on gun control? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 12:02 1
    - I think the current laws are reasonable in intent. I know there are some god-awful gaps, but generally I'm ok with the waiting period, license, etc. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 12:05
Possibly Libertarian. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 11:56 2
- Ooh...forgot about the Libertarians. I'd say this. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:57 1

- The legalization and regulation of prostitution, really? So government regulation is a-okay after all? -- nm - mara Aug 3, 11:59 10

  - Is this for ML or for me? -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 12:00 8
    - For anybody who thinks you're a match for any brand of libertarian. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 12:01 7
      - People retain their freedom to act as they desire within their own person - Will Hunting Aug 3, 12:04
      - Alternatively, if somebody can link me to something that plausibly makes a libertarian case for more government regulation, I'd be very interested. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 12:02 5

        I'm not at all missing that. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 12:06
        
        Well... the change from prohibition to regulation is at least in the libertarian direction. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 12:03 2
        
        Not as much as it's in the liberal direction, IMO. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 12:04 1
