    It is much easier to say what I am not, than what I am. :(

    Not a troll, anymore than someone who has "I'm that gun toting, flag waving, Bible carrying, patriotic conservative they warned you about" in their signature

    I understand. I've been a libertarian for years, and still consider myself one for the moment. But my fiscal views are heading in some direction of their own and I'm not sure where that is.

    Jesus-follower.

    I have no loyalty to any party.

    I plan to vote for Trump because he is the best option.

    Locally, I will vote for the most competent or the least corrupt. I will primary with whichever party is best to do so. I will vote for those who support my beliefs in God over those who don’t.

    (I noticed you didn’t even list Democrat as an option. Was that an oversight?)

    Ah. Yes, I did overlook that.

    I consider myself Right, not necessarily Right Wing, but as opposed to wrong.

    I don't think so. No parties were listed.

    If it was a list of US parties, those of us over here would not have been able to vote.

    Oh, brother, are you ever out of touch. As long as there are Democrats, you will be able to vote, no matter your state. :Wink

    David doesn't live in a "state." A county, shire, or Parliamentary constituency, yes; a state no. As an Englishman, he doesn't have to deal with the Democratic Party. He's got Corbyn's Labour.

    Well, brother, my comment came with a wink and a nod—tongue in cheek, so to speak. "State" has a number of definitions, and in this particular case (voting) the Dems should have no trouble covering most with their political machinations. While it may sound extreme (because it would be, but that's part of the point), merely residing in another country with a different head of state hardly poses a voting problem for such shrewd workers of iniquity. I mean, really, these blatantly corrupt rascals are in the process of hurriedly impeaching the President of the United States for things they did. If they can do that, what political evil can't they do?

    Don't swear. Corbyn is a dirty word in our house. Our election is in two days time, but I have already voted by postal vote, and it wasn't for Corbyn.

    I try not to get involved in US politics, ours ore enough of a problem.
    The most influential leader of a politrical party in UK is Nigel Farage (not fromage as someone called him) he said his party wont have a manifesto as the public consider politacal manifestos as lies. He is the only leader of a party who is honest. He wants one thing, to get us out of Europe.

    How about a Constitutionalist? I believe in the Constitution of the United States, which is supposed to be the supreme law of the land. It sets out a Federalist form of government and specifies the powers of said Federal government and anything not listed as a Federal government power is left to the individual states. Unfortunately for us here in America, the original concept of Federalism as envisioned by the Founding Fathers is long gone.

    None of the above - Christian socialist - but don't associate me with political parties calling themselves "Christian socialist." I support Jeremy Corbyn as one whose general policies are intended to be "for the many, not the few." There are of course specific antichristian policies that I cannot endorse - abortion & multisexism - but that goes for all parties.

    Before Corbyn became the Labour leader I took position 3, & voted Liberal, Independent or Green. I certainly could not vote for the war mongering policies of the Labour leader Blair, who with Bush was responsible for the invasion of Iraq an the basis of lies. Blair's name was often mis-spelled as a result. I hoped that a Conservative led government with Liberal support, as from 2010, would lead to centre policies. However the Liberals supported the Conservative austerity measures that have resulted in extreme hardship, homelessness & deaths.

    I've already voted for our local Labour candidate by post. I know her well as she sings in the community choir with me & a dozen others. Hopefully Corbyn will secure an absolute majority or be able to form a government with Scottish Nationalist support.
