Kahuana:

You're probably leaning Democrat if you are left leaning on social issues. Entitlement programs (government run) like Obamacare would put you in liberal camp.

I'm fiscally conservative and socially conservative. Meaning, I believe in free enterprise, private sector business, no entitlements, responsibility for yourself. There are many aged, poor (who really ARE poor), and children who need help. I'm all for helping them out. That's probably as 'social' as I get.

Since I have paid in to SS and Medicare for more than 35 years, I feel I should get something back. But young people starting out in their careers should be able to invest the way they want to and be responsible for their retirement years.

Nothing is cut and dried, but I think you get the point.

2010 I'm going to vote out anybody I can who voted for TARP, R or D. If everyone really KNEW their candidates in their districts, we would not have this mess. Too many just go to the polls and vote party line. Vote policy. Then we the people will get control back from those whose salaries we pay.
