If you're basing your choice on on-line tests then the answer is simple Hell no.

Tweed, I hate to tell you this but it isn't smart to base what party you join on on-line tests or to take tehm too seriously.

On the other hand what are your stances on issues?

No, I've been considering it for a little bit now.

Conservative Issue Stances:

Economics

-Free Trade, do not link human rights violations into trade with China
-No Universal Health Care
-Balance the Budget
-Tax relief on middle class Americans

All in all, build a government that taxes and spends less, and trades with other countries to keep industries growing and moving.

Social Issues

-Ban on late-term abortion, undecided on Roe v. Wade
-Rethinking Gun Control
-Rethinking Death Penalty
-Rethinking AA
-Rethinking Vouchers

Boss, you said you were a big fan of Howard Dean and would vote for him. How many Republicans would say that? You said you hate Pataki, a more moderate Republican. Are there any Republicans you will vote for in November? Are you going to vote for Schumer? You're definately more of an independent than a Republican, even a moderate one. Go with a green icon.

-I don't Pataki (I was middle of the road before he messed us the budget)
-I like Giuliani
-I will vote for schumer

What would make you vote for Schumer?

I would vote for Rudy over him, but he isn't that bad.  plus the guy running against him is an absolute laughingstock.  He is a two-term state assemblyman.  The last poll had Schumer up 72-17%.

well did you vote for Pataki in 2002? And Giuliani's not running for anything. It seems to me that it's strange to be a Republican when you don't vote for any Republicans. And in 2008 who do you see voting for? I know you've said you would vote for McCain, but it's very unlikely he'll run (too old + has skin cancer, plus it's unlikely he'd get the nom). Like I said, you strike me as an independent, same as bullmoose.

I voted for Golisano in 2002.

wouldn't you say Golisano was the more conservative candidate?
