OK, well that explains a lot.    I really had no specific idea where you stood politically, except for certain posts you have made that pushed you one way or the other.   For me personally, I tend to take parts from all parties, so I guess in that respect, I'm truly partyless.   It's a double edged sword, however, because no matter who wins or loses, I win a little and lose a little too, but there will NEVER be anyone I fully agree with 100% (uhhh, unless I'm elected...  between me and myself I'm unanimous).

In my personal life, I never get into P & R, because my friends are also all over the map.   To take a strong stand means I would lose some of them, and I'd rather have the friend than concurrence on the issue.   Except for the morning "coffee klatch" where we poke fun at one another, we tend to stay out of those areas thru mutual respect.   I should probably stay outta this area on the forum too, but find some the discussion in this thread the most thought provoking.
