Well, I'm definately a strong Democrat... On social issues, I'm as liberal as they come, I'm pro-choice, pro-marriage equality, anti-PATRIOT Act, I'm even pro-marijuana legalization.
On foreign policy, I'm a pragmatic liberal, I'm not a hippie who thinks we should never go to war (there are very few people who actually think that anyway), I just think that if we go to war it should be for a reason. There is no reason for us to be in Iraq, at all, IMO.
On economic issues, I'm a bit more moderate, I realize that organized labor goes way too far sometimes (like with the MBTA) but still think places like Wal-Mart ought to be unionized. I believe in free markets and free trade, but I certainly see the merits of some degree of regulation, especially environmental regulation. And I think that trickle down economics is just plain ridiculous.
Also, I'm a smart growth and public transit advocate, and I think big box stores, highways and sprawl are destroying this country.
I think the religious right is one of the biggest threats to America right now, and I'm an atheist personally. On balance I am a strong Democrat, without question.
