Where do you consider yourself to be politically? And why?

I'm a moderate liberal. I don't support all the topics that Democrats do, which is why I don't consider myself fully liberal.
Interesting. Could you list some you don't agree with?
Affirmative Action
Is that it?
I support almost all of the things that the DNC supports, but I don't like how they address many of those issues.
Sounds like how Kerry stood on the issues.
More positions then a Bill Clinton intern
I am a Ronald Reagan conservative.
Pres Reagan pulled the US out of the disaster known as Jimmy Carter and renewed the US economy and military.
You do realize that President Reagan was a moderate right? The consensus among most political scholars is that President Reagan took a moderate stance on Foreign Affairs, environmental practices, and most domestic issues. Todays GOP is alot farther to the right than it was when President Reagan was at the helm.
On the major issues Ronald Reagan took the correct action. He cuts the top tax rate friom 70% to 28% and lit a fire under the US economy
He built up the military to the point where the Soviet Union fell
He did it with a liberal media attacking him and the Dems in Congress kicking and screaming
I grew up under Pres Peanut Carter and I know first hand the rotten economy Reagan had to fix. He did a brilliant job
For his efforts, we won 49 states in his reelection bid in 1984
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. Yet, it has nothing to do with the comment that I made. My assertion was that President Reagan was a moderate. Most scholars agree with this position. You spew forth your words of conservatism and hatred of the left not even realizing that you sully the memory of the Great Communicator in the same breath by declaring yourself a "Ronald Reagan Conservative." President Reagan didn't hate the left, he revered them. He had a working relationship with Speaker O'Neal and did what had to be done to get things done. He didn't hate the left, he worked with them. He was a bastion of moderation. Not a mouthpiece.
If this is hard for you to understand, I'd be happy to draw you a picture in crayon.
The problem is that he wasn't alive when Reagan was president, so he has no understanding. I didn't agree with Reagan on lots of issues, but the guy knew how to sit down with the "other side" and build consensus unlike the "hatred spewing conservatives" (I like that, btw). But then again, that was when we didn't have an administration which called those who disagreed with it "unpatriotic" and "terrorist sympathizers".
