What is your political ideology?

[pho]

I am basically centrist on both social and economic issues, but very hawkish and right-wing about foreign policy and national security.

I would probably identify as a Rockefellar Republican if there were still such a thing. Voted centrist.

Only way for there to *be* such a thing if for more moderates and non-crazies to be Republicans, adding their voices to the party.

There is little evidence that moderate voices are welcome in the GOP of today, and I for one am not interested in screaming at a brick wall. Especially when the ultra-liberalism of the Democratic Party is highly exaggerated.

Either way political parties are represent collections of special interests more than ideologies. Since neither party is currently pandering to my special interests, I am content to remain an independent swing voter and nitpick about my pet issues.

A proud liberal. Largely anti-populist in message.

Many reject the liberal label because of what the right has turned it into, but I don't abandon my label just because a group of loons don't like it.

I do reject the progressive label because of what it has come to mean to me.

What exactly does 'progressive' mean to you? IIRC, 'progressive' (in the modern context) is a euphemism Democrats thought up in the 2000s because 'liberal' was too politically poisonous.
