  I remember when we had conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans. The country ran a hell of a lot better back then.

    We still do, with “we” being people, and we’re all left out in the cold, since there aren’t any representatives with anything other than hard-line party positions.

      I’m socially more left but fiscally right. I’ve always had that stance and there were plenty of other republicans like me. Just like there were many democrats who were socially right but fiscally left. It made voting for either party an option based on what issues were important to you.

        I think I’m left until I hang around with real leftists, then I realize I am not left. Republicans call me a liberal, and real liberals call me a libertarian. I’m neither of those things I guess, but a little bit of each of them.
