Well its only sorta OT. I was just reading some DU threads about the debate today.. and came to the realization that I really have very little in common with the liberal wing of my own party. 8)
Its very odd to me some times.. I'm not a liberal, I'm a pragmatic realist, I hate "moral victories" and honestly, personally.. I think DK is a little off his rocker.(Sorry to any DK fans!)
I'm a werid mix..
I'm a Practicing Catholic whose torn strongly over abortion.. and probably always will be (I refuse to give an answer on it, I can't seem to decide.. my heart and my head disagree)
I come from a VERY liberal family, but I don't share a lot of thier views. I'm also a yellow dog democrat who has yet to ever find a republican I can bring myself to vote for.
I support Dean BECAUSE he's not a liberal. Holy Joe is to damn negative for my tastes, and has the enrgy level of a sloth while speaking to me. He kinda reminds me of my dentist.
I've been asked why I'm not a Clark supporter, I've never understood why Clark makes such a good canidate. Serving in the army all his life does nothing for me, while I have a lot of respect for the armed forces, and those who serve, that means diddly to me
when it comes time to pull that "lever"
I guess this post is just a realization that occasionally I get reminded of how diffrent I am from the liberal wing of my own party (And BTW I DO think Dean is from the Democratic Wing of the Democratic party, I just don't think that wing is a Liberal one! grin)
Why post this? Who knows.. I just wonder.. are there others who post here.. who DON'T consider themselves a liberal?
