How do people who aren't liberals know what a true liberal is, John? ;-)

Or are we only allowed to have opinions about people exactly like ourselves (assuming we could find such people anywhere)...?

I am totally disgusted with both the Democrats and the Republicans, and pretty much with ALL political parties, so this is not a partisan matter on my part, I assure you. This is an attempt to understand what different politicians stand for and to guess at what they might do if they were elected.

Like Carol, I would say that I am neither conservative nor liberal...but some of each, because there are some good ideas on both sides of that divide.
