I think I'm a democrat because of Tami and Pedro on the Real World.
Where do you think you got your political leaning from?

I always had liberal views, but I didn't vote or care about politics til Bush fucked everything up.

I never knew any democrats or knew anybody who was as left-leaning as I was and the only thing I can think of is the hours and hours I spent watching MTV.
Thanks media!

From my own research. Slightly from my parents, but not really. We disagree on a lot of topics, but then again we also agree on a lot. I think mainly it
probably started with them, but since I've got older I've branched out in my beliefs and even changed a lot of them. Well, not really changed...but
made up my own mind.

I got my political leanings in law school. I entered a conservative, sheltered fool and came out realizing the world isn't black and white.

I'm Canadian. It's only natural for us not to care. JK
I get it mainly from my Dad. He's a big supporter of the Liberal Party and we grew up going to conventions, dinners, fundraisers, etc. for Liberal Party leaders and it kind of stuck. Also, being a first generation Canadian geared me towards the Liberal side. And obviously, reading up on it. |

Well I used to be opposed to liberalism so I voted for Republicans but then I realized they don't care about me either so I became a Libertarian after
watching videos on Ron Paul on youtube.

Well, I'm woman and I'm gay. So, there's that. I alsp grew with my dad in politics growing up. He was a hardcore democrat.
I'm a very liberal thinking registered Green Party member. |

Family values and my best friend in eleventh grade. He's a raging liberal and swayed me muchos.
After that, I pretty much fell to the left. |

I don't know. We never really talked about politics in my family when I was younger and my mom has voted Republican, Democrat and Ross Perot
Although NOW she's a raging liberal:lol
I think being a child of a single parent, being poor, not being overly-religious even though I had a really Catholic grandma and I lived with her almost all my life had something to do with who I was/who I am/what I think. But honestly, I didn't really think about politics until 2003 when it came time to vote for the first time and I knew I didn't like what Bush was doing and after doing some reading/thinking, I knew I was more liberal. |

I think I consider myself a moderate because my mom is a republican and my dad's a democrat. I think I'm socially liberal because of the people
I've met, in general.

My education made me a democrat. Before, I only knew conservatives because I grew up in the bible belt, low education levels, red necks, etc.
