In this thread, name things that are oxymorons in politics.

One of the biggest current oxymorons I can think of is Tea Party supporters calling themselves something other than Republican. Many will call themselves Independents, when nothing could be further from the truth. I don't think anyone has any business calling themselves Independent when they're really the right-wing of the Republican coalition.

I used to identify as an interventionist libertarian, which some declared to be oxymoronic...

i'd agree, given the non-aggression principle in libertarianism.
