...I am relatively new to the political forums... I have NO idea how most of the political "groups" define themselves... And it's always good to educate yourself about such things. I can tell that I have some libertarian "leanings" as others have put it ... but really, it's probably just some of the overlapping ideas of the greens and the dems??

I would not like to classify myself as anything in particular (except NOT repuke)... and that is part of why I love these discussion boards. There are many free thinkers here that can disagree on certain issues, but do so in a non "spin" and non "slime" fashion.

I suppose if I had to classify myself, I would be a dem. I think these days, regardless of your specific liberal leanings, it is wise to back the dems. They have the best shot at taking out these neo-cons. I truly hope that once this cabal is out of power, the specific "leanings" of the liberal americans can be discussed and legislated properly under our democratic system. That certainly isn't possible right now.
