Rather than trying to determine your political leanings through the opinions of others, here’s some suggestions:
– Make a list of issues that are important to you and prioritize it. Most likely, you won’t find a single party or candidate that you agree with on all issues, so it will help you compare parties/candidates against your most important issues.
– 10 question quiz; good info on political positions:http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html
– More in-depth quiz; world view of political positions, including US Presidential candidates:http://www.politicalcompass.org/
– each candidate has a website that lists their position on issues. Google will pull them up
– If you want to dig deeper, candidates positions on issues, voting records and who’s behind their campaign moneyhttp://www.vote-smart.org/index.htmhttp://www.opensecrets.org/index.asp

conservative, either a Republican or Libertarian, Read up on both and remember, the republican party is getting more and more liberal. Bush was not a fiscal conservative and McCain is liberal as can be.
You need to read Ron Paul’s book. It’ll really open your eyes as a youngster.
Good luck and don’t give up.

You sound like a young Republican. Does anyone remember Alex Keaton (Michael J Fox) in the old series Family Ties? A smart young man but unfortunately from the wrong party!

You are a libertarian.
Don’t let anyone try to talk you out of your viewpoints, be proud of them.

You think to much to be a democrat. Probably to much to be a Republican. You need to develop much on your views and make a choice or be an independent. Are you ok with selling your soul so to speak? Usually to really make it in office that is what you have to do. People are to lazy to really get to into your reasoning unfortunately.
