Personally, I find it really hard to like anything about the Republican party these days.

I can only say this: I sure hope so ^_< Tongue
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Sorry I'm a bit late on this one (17 pages)...

I'm an Independent....However, I lean more to the left side.

I don't know who stated this earlier, but they said that the right was for small business etc. That would have been the case many years ago for the right side, but not today. Big Brother/Big Business has been their 2nd Motto (First being Atheist are not Americans)....

I say I am in the middle mostly because of a few things I am for from both parties....

Left = Pro-Choice, Left = Gay Rights, Left = Green, Left = Equality........

Right = Arms, Right = Capitol Punishment, .......and that's about all I agree with on the right side...lolol...

For those reasons listed from both, I stick to the middle, but lean more to the left....Smile
Intelligence is the only true moral guide...

the left and the right are just blinders. They provide the most tangible and readily observable
points of view and leave others completely outside of the spectrum skillfully out of discussion.

beware my friends hahah.

peace

What points do you feel are being skillfully held out of discussion by these terms?
Be specific.

Most people start out left then drift further right as they age.
Nothing to do with wisdom, more a sort of accumulative intolerance.

"If a person is not a socialist at 20 he has no heart. If he is still a socialist at 40 he has no head."

I went through that phase in High School. I even co-founded a "Communist Club" and put up posters and stuff. These days I'm much more of a centrist
