Shit, I don't know. On many issues I'm very left, and on some issues I'm very conservative. Most people think that describes a Libertarian but I'm definitely NOT a Libertarian. I lean towards U.S. interventionism overseas, which Libertarians hate, and I favor strong controls on business and economics, which Libertarians really hate. Plus I wouldn't wipe my ass with pages from an Ayn Rand book and they all love her.

I'm currently registered as a Democrat and I support Obama on many but not all things.

I don't think I actually fit on the scale. I distrust markets, I don't think privatization of power is sensible, but I also don't think drowning everybody in welfare programs and taxes is the way to go.

I'm working on a book on failures of the market economy, and possible alternatives that actually increase the ability of an economy to be aware of happiness, resource depletion and environmental issues.

That said, I'm quite pragmatic, when it comes to real life. I avoid taxes where legally possible, I outsource work, I live a decent lifestyle with multiple homes (although I wouldn't really have a problem with giving it up, if it would make sense) and I neither save energy nor educate myself about the companies I buy from. And I don't vote.

ANSWER THE QUESTION AARON OMG

I consider myself something of a moderate Democrat. I support strong regulation of Wall Street, particularly commodities. I tend to pretty pro-gun and am licensed to carry concealed. On social issues I tend to be pretty libertarian. On fiscal issues I tend to be conservative on state and local government spending and liberal on federal spending. While I consider myself pretty pro-business and strongly support using the government to promote business (using the government to bring high-speed internet to rural ares and leading a green energy revolution) the teabaggers think it's socialism. I backed the government rescue of GM and Chrysler and even supported TARP (because despite how bad the banks are their failure would cause a second great depression). I am also not a fan of the welfare state and have seen first hand abuse it in disgusting ways, but I'm not advocating getting rid of it.

As for voting I will not be voting for Rand Paul for senate but I will be backing a Republican for state rep. I'm boycotting my congressional election because they both suck. There is a sherif's race that I'm undecided on. I find it silly especially on the state and local level to vote by someone because of party. Most people who run for those offices are only running on the party that gives them the best chance to win and are not members because of their personal views.

I would say center left also. I'm pro gun and I always carry concealed. I like strong regulations on business. I was against the Iraq War. So far I'm planning on voting for Obama in 2012.

Lets see I'm for small government, no or little taxes as possible, I'm for the 2nd amendment, I do carry a concealed gun, I am pro-choice as well. I tend to not want to vote on partylines, I do not consider myself Republican or a democrat although I have registered as a Demcorat in the past I'd probably be considered a bluedog Democract. If you didn't know me you'd think I was a Republican. I don't consider myself liberal or conservative and I never been a tea bagger or for Ron Paul. After voting in every election possible the one coming up on Nov I have really considered not voting.

I am going to correct myself on something I have no clue what the 2nd amendment is nor do I care I just like guns and like carrying them. I just say the 2nd amendment because I was apart of a gun club and they always are scared about people taking away their toys. They have the 2nd amendment on a plaque somewhere for everyone to see.

I guess this puts me in the minority here, as the closest one to libertarian. On economics I lean to the left, though. I think the government should have regulations to an extent on business so that people can't be robbed or taken advantage of, and I don't believe in monopolies. Other then that, I think government's only other role should be to protect us, and provide health care.

On the other hand, I think the FCC is horseshit and should be eliminated. If you don't like something, change the fucking channel.

I am almost the complete opposite of Muertos in terms of overseas intervention. I don't think we belong there or anywhere, nor did we ever belong there, before and after 9/11. And yes, I do have a military family history going back to WWII.

Socially I am very libertarian, bordering on anarchist. Growing up with a black father, and Portuguese mother, we were raised to be self sufficient and take care of ourselves and our family, and not rely on the government for anything other then half of what I posted above.

I don't believe in victimless crimes, and support the legalization of prostitution and marijuana. As for the harder drugs, well I don't think you should be put in jail for using, but for selling I am still on the fence about. Personally if I had to chose, I would prefer strict regulation to full illegalization.

I believe everyone is their own person, and should only be held responsible mainly for themselves and their kids.

I will never vote for a Republican or Democrat in my lifetime.

I would vote democrat if they legalized pot and hookers. But not republican. And yes, I'm over 30.

Actually I'm in favor of Social Security, and medicare. That would fall under economics.

I never said anarchist, I said bordering on, and that's socially. As in freedom over your own body.

Not really, I haven't smoked pot since I was 16. And I never said anything about a comfortable lifestyle, but I do believe in public option for health care for people that can't afford it. I'm not really that big on welfare to be honest. Yeah, I think the elderly and people with mental conditions should be housed, as well as kids, but I don't think it should be the government's job to give me a house, feed me, or give me work.

lol well the way I see it, is that if I'm putting money into something, I sure as fuck better get something out of it later in life.

A left-libertarian would typically be an Anarchist in the original sense, not Anarchist co-opted by Randroids.

Just vote Democratic.
