Tough question. Although I am clearly liberal on domestic matters I am a hard ass on foreign policy.
Even more confusing is that I change with the times. When I feel the pendulum has swung to far in one direction, I tend to support the side to help swing it back to the middle.

I wish I was lean. Guess I'll have to settle for being well-marbled. (yeah, I know, get off my ass and do something about it.)

To get way off topic here, it reminds me of a Lucy episode where Lucy tried to tell a joke. "A grouchy man comes into a restaurant. When he orders, he asks for a pork chop and says make it not very fat. The waiter asks which way. Get it."

Regards,

D-Ray

I've always considered myself pretty moderate, but the perceived middle has moved right due to wingnut radicalism. As such, I would surmise that I could be painted as slightly left of center.

But I didn't move the ball, the goalposts shifted while I was in the huddle...

I'm a bit surprised that so far that the righties outnumber the lefties.

A bit about myself. I started out liberal, then took a left hand turn in my early 20's. Pretty standard for most youth at the time. As I became more aware of the world around me and my responsibilities increased I became more conservative.

Even though I'm a government employee, and perhaps because of that, I believe that smaller government is better, and the less that government has to do with your life the better off you are. Freedom, baby, with all it's consequences good and bad!

That said, I'm mostly here to understand why others have the opinions they do, so I'm actually more interested in viewpoints that differ from my own. I constantly challenge my own beliefs (call my own BS).

Thanks to all you who have voted and posted so far, and please continue!

My math shows 4 right of center and 3 left of center, with 4 in the center.

Actually, pretty evenly split.

Or are the stories true that liberals always vote more than once?

This poll is what we think of OURSELVES, I wonder what it would look like if we could rate eachother. Some of us. whho consider ourself to be moderate, might not not be as accuarate as we deem. Also, who is to say we are actually telling the truth.

And then again, for all we know, them conservatives may have rigged the election by sending letters and such, banning most of the liberals from being able to vote.
