Have your political views changed in the last four years?

So, have the past four years changed your view of the national political parties in general?

For years now, I've considered myself a moderate Republican. With the Bushies in power, it feels like an oxymoron.

why can you move only to the left or to the right? How about up or down?

I've moved up, but its been a gradual process over much more than four years.

No. I've become more cynical and disgusted with many politicians, but my views remain the same in many regards.

I don't think I've moved more left or right... more like I've moved further away from both. I don't like the financial controls of the left, and I don't like the social controls of the right. However, if I'm left with the choice of giving up one freedom or another, I'd prefer to keep my social freedom.

I stayed put, and the Republicans moved so far right that I am now considered a Lib.

My views haven't changed, however I think other people's perception of those views have. Seems like what I used to consider "moderate" is now considered "radical left" to some people. Weird, huh?

Pat Buchanan is now seen as a moderate.

good point ive gone up to, but oppisite of zippo, it seems i get pushed more right..left is going to strong towards communism that they dont see it..its a great idea but will never be successful due to too many lazy people wanting a handout. YOu do have to love the icredible qoutes they come up with on what social medicine will cost..they forget we have way more ilegals then other social medicine countries..that and im sure the doctors wouldnt appreciate the 20 dollars an hour they would be forced to take to keep in the liberal qoute

I didn't even read this thread other than the subject line. See my thread "House of Bush House of Saud"

Moving from Washington state back to Kalifornia changed them a lot. In WA it was easy to identify with the Dems, as Republicans were so off the wall they ran a scary whacko Jesus lady for governor ten years ago and made "the teaching of witchcraft in public schools" a major campaign issue (pause for Twilight Zone theme music).

However, down here in Kali, the Dems are plainly tripping on blotter acid. That and the Republicans are still mostly the party of White Genetic Purity. Kind of makes it tough on those of us who just want to own a home, send the kids to college and maybe get the potholes filled....

But I went and voted for Arnold the Governator because he's just the kind of realist we need for an ungovernable state. And I'll vote for him again. I don't like or agree with everything he does, but I knew I wouldn't going in because he has tough choices to make by the thousands.

I've come around completely on the issue of gun control, especially after the Hurricane Katrina floods in New Orleans. Even after the schoolhouse shooting in PA, which leaves me feeling sick and numb, I don't believe outlawing guns would have prevented it. Guns are already here, they're here to stay, so we might as well allow law abiding citizens to own them as well. So that's a complete 180 turnaround.

Maybe it's just because I'm older and have a shorter temper. I'm NOT a Republican and never will be, but have bcome a much more conservative independent voter.

And Bush still sucks.

Your poll lacked the appropriate response for me.

Basically, I used to identify with the green party. Now, I would identify with no party. There is absolutely no political party who would uphold all, hell even half of the views I hold. None.

This is partly the result of the parties not doing their jobs, and partly because of a change in my view about a great many things.

So I went from Liberal, to frustrated and apathetic.
