I am in the sensible center on most issues. I am to the left of center for now but was a bit right of center in 2004 when I voted for W. After his final four years of fiasco after fiasco I moved to the left. I am liberal on most social issues but much less so on fiscal issues but not nearly far enough right to have ANY respect for Grover Norquist. I do respect Paul Ryan but disagree with his budget policy approach (as did Newt until he buckled to Limbaugh et al). I know you will not agree, but so is Obama if you look beyond the extreme right's and T party crowd's demonizing. Until they sold out for political gain and crawled like a snake on their bellies to the same crowd, so were John McCain as a Senator and presidential candidate before 2001 and Mitt Romney as the Governor of Mass!
