Liberal. Fiscally slightly left of center, socially slightly left of Dan Savage. ---

I don’t like signing on to entire bills of goods. I think, on the whole, I’m a left of center moderate, which is considered liberal here. I’m pretty liberal on issues like social justice, what you do with your own body, and how we should be behaving towards the rest of the world. I also am very distrustful of big business, at least the extent of their influence on government. However, I’ve met plenty of government programs I don’t like, I believe in fiscal restraint, a strong, but judiciously utilized military, and responsible gun ownership. Oh, and I’m pretty fond of The Constitution, and I don’t think we should fuck with it. ---

Additionally, I can talk with and get along with Goldwater Conservatives, but religious zealots and neocons, I simply don’t get. ---

I usually say 'socially liberal, fiscally conservative" but if I had to pick one, I’d go with liberal. ---

I often say “socially liberal, fiscally conservative” Although that isn’t entirely true either. Many of my social beliefs would lie to right of center, many to left. I guess just right of center. ---
