re: #58 goddamnedfrank

You have described yourself as a socially liberal conservative. I see no reason to doubt this. It does seems curious; your habit of saying both sides are bad tends to kick in only when a Republican is in trouble, but whatever. You are a fount of impartiality and evenhandedness.

If I lean in one direction more time than most, left if we have to give it a name, even issue wise, it would be on social issues. But even there, I’m not in agreement with every social issue. Even in that arena I have a few limits.

I’m not even sure if my socially liberal tendencies really have much to do with politics. It has more to do with how I perceive those issues, and what I consider acceptable to my sensibilities, and even then, I’m not the final answer for socially liberal issues, just my socially liberal issues.

Other than social issues, I play all over the spectrum, so I am certainly not evenhanded, if you are looking for a balance scale that weights exactly in the middle, well, no, you won’t find that in me.
