Are you on the left or on the right?
There was a discussion on another thread about whether Poly was left or right centric. How would you identify your political position if you had to give an either or answer.

What does left and what does right imply politically?
Does that give you a hint?
 ACK!

Poly is left to the rightists and right to the leftists  .
But it really is left .

I'm left. Or at least I hope so. I don't think I could live with myself if I was right-wing.

Could someone help me here, by telling me which one I am now? I, honestly, don't know anymore.

Ask yourself if you were in power would you ... and when you start to think about you in power you know you're right wing

Paul and other lefties, why don't you try to argue the rightist point of view just for a lark? In fact, it might be fun to switch ideology for a day, where we all have to switch and argue politics from the opposite point of view.

I'd say I'm almost smack in the center, but maybe ever so slightly to the left (though I really do emphasize EVER SO SLIGHTLY). I'm about as likely to embrace communism, in any form, as I am to become a hyper-patriotic right-wing American.
As for 'poly, I'd say there's a good mix of left and right extremes, but the overall skew is most likely a little more left than I am.

I get to do that nearly every post, since the lefties think I'm a rightie and the righties think I'm a lefty.

Thank you, I am slightly left of center. I never have and never will vote a party line.
I'm either a conservative Democrat or a liberal Rupublican.
Not sure which.
ACK!

I have never voted for a democrat for president so I'm definitely on the right. There are some social issues that find me on the left mainly because of some libertarian tendencies. Sometimes I tell people I'm so far right, I show up back around on the left. Usually these are areas where I think the government should just butt out of our lives.
