I never know what to label myself and end up doing it based on choosing the best of two evils. I hate the constant blame game of politics and have very few politicians who I would want as a friend - let alone representing me in office. The older I get, the less interested I am in the political BS.
I care more about social issues than I do about financial issues - although they tend to be inter-related, so there are always exceptions.
I came from ultra conservative, Republican, fundamentalist Christian environment and I embrace very little of the ideals in which I was raised. I find both the Republican Party and the Christian Church to be far too intolerant and limiting for my own brand of thinking. I honestly cannot allign myself with any political party wholeheartedly but I end up doing it as a counter move. I may not love the democrat up for election but I certainly like him more than the republican - but that is not always the case.
Basicily, politics bores the crap out of me because it seems like it's a lot of talk and blame and no actual action - at least not a whole lot of action that makes a positive difference.
