Politics Left, right, or somewhere in the middle?

[cathjs47]

I'm interested to know where Alias fans sit politically. I'm actually from Australia and as such didn't vote in the recent US election, but I figure that most people on the forum would be from the US.

I consider myself to be extremely left wing, and support the Australian Labour Party (if you can call them left these days) and the Greens.

 

[Itz tha Dreila]

I'm a liberal, so that's way left.

 

[cathjs47]

It's interesting (and depressing) that in Aus our 'Liberal Party' is extremely right wing. There's a difference between 'Liberal' and 'liberal'...

i'm Catholic, so I guess I'm a swinger.

If I was 18...I would have voted for Bush!

Mel

 

[Jamison]

I am quite leftist...and I did vote for Kerry/Edwards.

 

[Ophelia]

I'm a hard, angry leftist. Didn't used to be this way, but 25 years of watching the right try to destroy this country will do that to a person. I disliked Reagan, paid little attention to Bush Sr., liked Clinton, and I wouldn't have voted for Dubya if someone had been holding a gun to my head. I think I'm older than most of you, and it saddens me to see what has been happening in this country.

[Melissa_dj]

I just turn 18 this past September and I was so sad because I found out five days before the election u had to register to vote nine days ahead...oh well there is always May...

Big R all the way!

When I turn 18 I'm definately going to vote Left

 

[Tuga]

I'm way Left.
I'm not american.. so I didn't vote for any of them. But I've already voted three times here and in two different parties... both were left... but one more than the other

 

[alias_luver]

Lefty for sure.

Sorta on this topic in a way...but who out there would vote for JEB Bush if he ran? I would!

for people on the fence, W might have tainted the Bush name. most people wouldn't look at Jeb's record and only think, "He's a Bush".

 

[Jamison]

I don't think it really matters, Jeb won't run. But if he did you'd have two main categories...people who wouldn't vote for him because he's a Bush and people who would vote for him because he's a Bush. Do the people who want to vote for him know any of the things he's done as the governor of Florida? My guess would be no (at least for the majority).

why do you think Jeb won't run? i think it's entirely possible that he might.

 

[Jamison]

why do you think Jeb won't run? i think it's entirely possible that he might.

He has said publically that he will not run in 2008 (though I do suppose that doesn't mean much), but may possibly consider a run in the future. I just don't see him doing it, at least any time soon, no real concrete reason I guess, just a feeling I have. If he does run I feel certain it won't be in '08, his own father has said that he isn't ready for that yet.
