I’m a conservative libertarian ( I’m happy to live and let live, except in all pedophile issues, I’m a gun toting redneck hippy). I love my freedom, my guns, family, my VWs, my streetrod, Harley’s and Hondas, so you might have a problem pinning me down. I hate child molesters and sincerely believe each and everyone of them should have their pecked nailed to a stump, be handed a butter knife and set the stump on fire.

Well at this point all democrats are child molesters/killers at this point.

Lots of good people here who suscribe to the "live and let live" philosophy. Nothing wrong with that except that the commie/socialist/lefty crowd does not adhere to that policy and is always on the attack.
Some of you call yourselves "liberals". Fine. Pick any label you want but I suspect that you are still hanging onto the "liberal" label from the '70's when "liberals" just wanted to live life as they pleased without any government interference. Sounds a lot like conservatives today. Weird.
Yes, and I sincerely hope that you all try not to concern yourselves too much with these things.

Definitely don't read any old books, or you'll end up like me: tying yourself in knots to invent entirely new and contradictory labels to describe yourself.
Am I a Libertarian Fascist?
Am I a Populist Monarchist?
Am I a Neo-Reactionary Constitutionalist?
Yes to all 3.

Point is, labels are often more restrictive than descriptive.
Live your life in such a way as to bring about the world that you prefer, and try to convince others as gently as possible.

I think most Okies are very independent. They aren't very susceptible to group-think. Open-minded is the better term. You can't really label most Okies i have met. Though it is fair to describe most Okies as having conservative values in the traditional sense, a distrust/dislike of Government at any level, but it's not like they have a brand loyalty to the Republican Party, either.

I don't want the Democrats running things here in OK, that's for ****ing sure. But i also don't like that the Republican Party has such a stranglehold, either. We need more independents in office. When you have too much power staying with one party(in any state), there grows corruption and nepotism...

In theory, I don't necessarily disagree. In reality, you're gonna get one or the other. That's the main reason I vote straight republican. It's as close as I can get to what I believe (that has a chance of getting elected). Both parties suck. The republican party just sucks a LOT less than the democrat party.

I have often said that if the Libertarian Party had any chance at all of being elected, in ANY race, I would vote for that candidate. Unfortunately, the chances are vanishingly small.

Therefore, I can only vote for the least leftist candidate on the ballot that has a good chance of being elected.

There is a reason that I am registered as an Independent: both parties have moved so far left that neither the Rs or the Ds resemble what it was 40 years ago.

I don't register as independent or unaffiliated because in most states if you do that you can't vote in primaries. I don't know if it's that way in OK or not since I just registered as a republican.
You can only vote in the primaries of the party with which you are registered in Oklahoma, unless it has changed.
