This needs to be multiple choice. I'm socially moderate, but right-wing by assosiation of other views I hold, and off the chart (sadly, anymore) in my fiscal views.

What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.

And this illustrates the problem with media's portrayal of politics perfectly.

If something makes sense,it makes sense - if something is boneheaded, it's boneheaded.

Not even considering a thing due to a party affiliation would be stupid, every issue needs to be looked at and at least given consideration on it's own merit. Although there is a lot of (in my opininon) boneheaded pandering seen in the media (sensationalism puts bums on chairs), there are a lot of instances of less 'newsworthy' issues being forward by both sides, sometimes (gasp!) working together.

Cases where both sides of the fence come together to try and get something accomplished for their constituents - The Yucca Mountain issue in Nevada is one such instance.

Putting the "I" in Independant.

Since my stance varies a lot from issue to issue I guess I'm a party of one.

Ewww, no way. I can't stand listening to Metal, regardless of their religion.

Winger wasn't metal. They were cheezeball posers. Just look at them.

Why were soooo many hair bands classified as "metal" - or even "hard rock". Was it because of the Power Ballad??? :confused: ;)

I don't like the wings much. Not enough meat. Gimme a drumstick or breast! Lots of juicy deliciousness there. :D

Well, looks like I may be pointing to this poll the next time someone in the forums says that "a majority of America agrees" to some b.s. partisan view.

Left-wing 8 20.51%
Right-wing 5 12.82%
Somewhere in the middle 14 35.90%
Somewhere off the charts 12 30.77%

Lookie here, 2/3 of people aren't left or right wing!

I like the way you think - now pack that bowl, and bring me a beer!
