I was going to put other, but i decided that most of the other ones have similar views to the 2 main parties. So again the question is which you MOST IDENTIFY with.

Vänsterpartiet (Leftparty), even though their opinions are not exactly as mine.
Another party I would vote on if I was born last year (election this year, I'm eighteen NEXT) would be MILTOT, the Military Totalists who stands for a one-party state with generals ruling the country
Or my own the Monarchistic Feodalismparty for Forwarding of Freedomfreeing Hiearchy.
Edit: Oh, and yes, I'm socialist. So I think the democrats are a group of not-even-half-way-fags and the Republicans as Stupid-white-capitalistic-pigs

Heh I couldn't vote because I was born on Nov 4 which was like 2 days after the election...I consider myself independent because I don't support the whole idea of following "party lines" on every issue. Not to mention as axelius pointed out that America is mainly moderates giving the image of being different.

Go Bloc Québécois!
And please don't start bitching because you think I'm a separatist, because I'm not. I just like the ideas BQ brings foward (except the separation part).

Conservative. Don't believe everything you hear from Michael Moore, etc. Research for yourself by credible sources. Don't just pick something because your parents are that. Max - I didn't even know what conservatism and liberalism were when I was 11...

Or it could just mean that he hears his parents talk about things he doesn't know about.

It could, but I don't think one should make an assumption like that without actually getting a feeling for the persons beliefs and if they can actually aruge them.

How about they're one of the last major contributors to troops in Iraq but like didn't most of the reconstruction deals go to America
as in no money for them. It's easy to claim a need for credible sources when most of Politics is
illusion.

basically the republicans started a studpid war and they condone britain for not helping them in a war which shouldnt have taken place in the first place. so americans and there stupid wife beating, beer drinking, and shooting people in the face, republicans now make fun of great britain for being selfish and unpatriotic when most of them dont even have the educational level to know what those words mean.

So you think Saddam would have woken up one day and said "I'm not going to be an ass anymore!"? No. You thinking that it's a "stupid war" is merely an opinion - I asked for facts.
and they condone britain for not helping them in a war
Condone means to forgive. Britain did help with the war. Stop trying to sound smart, and at least figure out who is doing what in the war.
most of them dont even have the educational level to know what those words mean.
There are more Republicans with Doctorates, Master's and Bachelor's than liberals.
Your accusations about wife beating and drinking are stupid - especially because they happen in GB too. Why don't you go back to your soccer and bad teeth, asshole.

You can't tell someone off for doing something, then blatantly do the same thing the next sentence thats just silly, although you do have a point about not being stereotypical about the US.
Anyways the reason there is such a ridiculous divide between Liberals and Conservatives is that neither side can bring themselves to talk civily with the other. I have found very very few conservatvies or liberals who can listen open mindedly to the other sides position without it devolving into childish namecalling. Another thing is that by breaking it down to two seperate groups you totally ruin the idea of democracy. 2 party system= teh sux0rs

Ok I'll put it in laymens terms...How about they're one of the last major contributors to troops in Iraq(ie most of the countries like Spain and Italy have withdrawn their troops due to political unrest/dissapproval)
but like didn't most of the reconstruction deals go to America
as in no money for them.(don't you know how money is made by goverments besides the basics like taxes? they put other countries in debt so that they can collect on interest rates. In case you didn't know that's why the World Bank has not been able to improve poverty or standard of living in developing countries)
It's easy to claim a need for credible sources when most of Politics is
illusion.(One word, propaganda. another, indoctrination, another, socialization-a term I heard used in an Anthropology class on how cultures shape people. Each of these are used by every government but are sometimes too subtle to notice or can be misinterpreted)
I'm sorry if my punctuation or sentence fragment through you off...
