[glatt]

From The American Heritage College Dictionary:

Liberal: Not limited to or by traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes or dogmas; free from bigotry ... broad-minded

Sounds like most (many?) folks in the Cellar.

From the same dictionary:

Conservative: favoring traditional views and values; tending to oppose change.

It's too depressing for words. I'll be casting my vote this election because I hate Bush, not because I feel especially fond of Kerry.

I suspected that would come up as a comment from this bunch, Bruce. The poll only allows for 10 options (I'd have put in many more). I tried to detract from the "pigeon hole effect" by choosing the option to allow for multiple choice responses, not just one. Hence, the delightful first response of "pinko commie, socialist, liberal, libertarian, anarchist" all rolled up into one respondent!

Going off glatts liberal defined....Is there a way to be an anarchist and not liberal? Wouldn't you Have to vote both? Is being liberal (in a way) anarchy?

Great minds think alike, Flippant! I described myself as a liberal anarchist in the poll!

I ran with libertarian anarchist because the political meaning of liberal has pretty much been corrupted on both sides of the aisle. I see a lot of folks on the left going with progressive now. I don't know if its just a Bill Moyers thing or a back to the roots thing? You have to control the language to control the argument, I guess.
