I don't fit either description. When I watched three people ahead of me walk into the polling location a few weeks ago, the man at the door greeted each of my neighbors - when I approached he reminded me that this was the Republican polling location, and that the Democrates were voting in the door down the hall!

In the US Liberals label themselves as ones who care about their fellow man, and who accept lifestyles alternative to the mainstream - count me in! In the US conservatives label themselves as those who protect free enterprise and preserving the basic tenets of our culture - well I believe in those too!

I hate to let issues define me, but; I believe strongly in personal freedom, personal responsibility, strong personal values, and self actualization. I love and respect humanity and find genuine generosity is a natural trait, to me. I support 'CP', and a 'right to choice', religious freedom - I oppose most gun control, all tax based social engineering programs, censorship.

Where does that put me? Like others in this thread; I suspect idealistically; I'm all over the map!
