Where do you consider yourself on the political spectrum?

[PollM]

Pundits tend to divide America in two on a tidy, linear scale: Either you're conservative or you're liberal. Differences between one conservative and another conservative can be explained by describing one as "more conservative" or "less conservative" than the other, and the same applies to liberals.

[Rabo Karabekian]

10. I'm Easy, Two Labels

But seriously, I don't really like liberal, because classical liberalism refers to laissez faire economics. I'm a progressive or social democrat, either/or...

[JeffR]

11. Just to the left of

far left.

[Josiah1982]

12. I'm so ultra-conservative I think Cheney is a communist!

Liberal. I think most people on this site are pretty progressive. I have nothing to "conserve" except my dignity. And even that's negotiable.

[CnAnPB]

Do I fail the test?

[MannyGoldstein]

By today's standards, Ike was a flaming liberal - roughly in Kucinich territory.

[saltpoint]

15. Bella Abzug speaks for me.

With heavy dosages of John and Robert Kennedy, Mario Cuomo, and Bill Bradley.

Actually a fairly diverse, if highly liberal bunch.

[ruggerson]

[saltpoint]

19. ah hell, ruggerson, thank you for that photograph of that dear soul.

She described herself once as "an ass-kickin' broad," and by god she could be just that, but she could also reach for the stars with the gentlest touch.

Dammit I miss her.

[ruggerson]

22. There's also this heroine

who gives me chills to this day when I think about her:

[saltpoint]

24. O yes, you said it. Some time ago I listened to her on the podium at the

convention. I was halfway young then and still forging my opinion of public figures.

After listening to Congresswoman Jordan, I had the model for public service and personal integrity which she positively exudes and which I have not seen nearly as much of or as often since.

The woman was a champion.

[Didereaux]
