Out of question, how many people here on NS are Republicrats?
Republicrat - n, term used to describe a member of one of the two current major parties in America

I consider myself an independent voter, though I will generally side with the left wing. (Who am I kidding. I always will side with the left wing).

McCain is really the only Republican I like.


I live in Arizona.

No; ideologically, I'm a moderate progressive (about center-line between the parties economically, but rather forward-thinking socially), though I'm a registered Libertarian.

WTF? Are you from Mars?

im a demotarian

Communists.

Not the Bolshevekian type, though.

I prefer:

Demublican

I don't plan on joining a party. I like my independence, though I am usually a libertarian I am a firm believer in the idea parties cause polarization.

I'm a Marxist, I believe in the theories of Karl Marx. I generally vote based on issuies though, so you might call me an independent.

Yes, I should have put Marxist, not Communist. yup, parties cause polarization.

Marxist.

No, I'm a Traditional Progressive. DEATH TO THE LIBERAL CONSERVATIVES! THEY ARE IDIOTS!!

Seriously though? I'm a left-wing, socialist, libertarian expansionist.

Not American, but the Australian version would be a... "Liblab" :p (a mix of Liberal and Labour)

And no, I'm not one of them. I'm not into the whole parliamentary democracy thing, so no party for me!

I'm a left-wing, socialist, libertarian expansionist.

expansionist?

Republic rat?

Sounds dangerous....is it big?

expansionist?I said, "left-wing socialist libertarian expansionist", often shortened to just "Libertarian Expansionist". You could google it.

What? But that takes effort!

I don't particularly love where the Democratic party is right now, but the Republican Party disgusts me and none of the independants really appeal to me either (and besides, you can vote independant to make a statement, but nobody actually thinks they will win).

So yes, when I can finally vote in 2008, I'll be voting democrat.

What? But that takes effort!Switch to Safari then.

could. but it wouldn't be of much help. the whole string brings up a random assortment of things, from chomsky to rothbard. "libertarian expansionist" in quotes brings up nothing of any use at all.

care to give me a hint?

I'm a Dempublicent!

No, in truth, I vote Independent. No offense (hehe) to anyone, but I think anyone who joins a party is simply being a lapdog to people who want more power.

I am a Republican on the issues of the economy and foreign policy. A Democrat on the views of the civil rights and that stuff. I lable myself as a conservative-leaning Libertarian.

Independent with Libertarian leanings.

"Expansionist" means "Let's add more territory to our country/empire", right?

Maverick Conservative.

"Expansionist" means "Let's add more territory to our country/empire", right?

yeah. which is why it doesn't fit with the rest of words in that string. maybe they meant internationalist?

Actually, I find more of a conflict between socialist and libertarian, than between expansionist and either of the others.

libertarians are typically minarchists. Libertarians are typically anarcho-capitalists. (Notice the capitalisation.) Socialism doesn't fit in well with either ideal, but the desire for the spread of liberty or of markets would easily accomodate the definition of expansionist being included in his political philosophy.

nah, we used the descriptor long before the neoliberals took it.

and expansionist implies a bit of subjugation, which isn't very libertarian.

Right-to-Life party. Hey, we won a few judges seats...

I am nonpolitical... but when I do get my vote, I plan to vote democrat to piss the rest of the state off. ;)

I consider myself to be a moderate Libertarian. Small Goverment.......as small as possible without turning the whole goverment upside down then trimming a little each year. we could start by not spending more than we take in. Ever!

I prefer "Laboural".

um..."Bruceist"...same as my religion (my name is bruce) so basicly I just do what I think is right and good and allow others to do the same...

I'm registered democrat tho because in CT you have to be in the party to vote in primaries, and I tend to be very liberal based...particularly on social issues...if only I could be unaffiliated and still vote in primaries.

yeah. which is why it doesn't fit with the rest of words in that string. maybe they meant internationalist?
Not at all. Neocons are basically socialist expansionists, but socially authoritarian. (They let on being capitalist in order to get on with others in the Republican party.)

Christopher Hitchens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens) is an expansionist libertarian socialist.
