    Conservative, liberal, moderate? Where does each one of us fit?

    I have called myself conservative, I guess because I kinda associated with the Republicans but not too much but I do agree with the Democrats on some issues so now am I a liberal-conservative? How about moderate, that seemed safe but what is a moderate? Oh hell, now I see myself as a liberal-conservative-moderate..... this thing is getting out of control.

    We as a country have evolved from the time of it's founding and the country as a whole has changed it's perception of what's wrong and right every since. Some I agree with and some I don't but what is conservative, liberal, moderate now might be perceived totally different 100 years from now.

    I am hoping that we at Unity 08 can overcome these labels and consider ourselves just plain American that can be inclusive of us all and work together as a whole to change things for the better.

    So I will refrain from labeling anyone but if someone wants to label me, that's fine but if you really look at all my comments together I don't think you can find one that fits. I have lived in homes without running water nor electricity, looked at the north end of a southbound horse while plowing, traveled the world, met all kinds of people, wined and dined in fine restrants, had the nice homes with hot tubs, pools and such. Been married-divorced, married-wife died, and married again. The list goes on and on. We change or should change as we experience life and our perceptions should change also.

    I will continue to look at posts and post some myself. Some posts I disagree on, some agree on in part oe in whole but each one usually provoke some thought. Heck, I even adjust my thinking and reevaluate some stances from time to time. So come on people, let the games begin.

    P.S. I live where I live, how I live, by choice not because I have to, thank goodness for freedom.

    Thanks Mark! I agree... as it is those in congress that refuse to negotiate for critically needed legislation that have committed treason... They should never have eaten the pork!

    I just cast my ballot for the 18th time in a national-state election. I have to admit it still feels good after all this time. Iam an independent but I am pulling for the democrats to regain control of Congress and hopefully move the country back to the center. There I hope they reach across the aisle and pull mederate republicans to the center with them. If they do win I hope unity 08 watches very closely because it won't take long to see if they move to the center or revert back to the old obstructionist policies both parties have been following since 92.

    Just a suggestion, but you might consider casting your vote for the most viable challenger to any incumbent currently in office? I've never utilized this policy but know some who have, and have much more respect for this than for not voting at all, voting a straight ticket without knowledge of the individual candidates, or voting for some wacky independent with no credibility or even an outside chance of winning.

    A vote is valuable only when cast and cast wisely...

    So close, so wrong I cannot vote for either but must pick a side? I cannot vote for just Independents as I had planned because my vote matters so much. Yet, neither shows any sign of the reforms I want www.appyp.com/fix_main.html ... My vote still has not been cast? - Earn Snyder

    smhiott: In my humble opinion you are a bona fide conservative and there is not a thing wrong with that. Turnabout is fair play feel free to put a label on me. Ain't democracy fun?
