You must have addresses the wrong person. I am not a left-winger. I am a hybrid moderate-liberal-conservative. Depends on which issue. My three major issues are environment (and it ought to be bi-partisan), fiscal responsibility and campaign finance reform/corruption.
Right now Bush is displaying class, honesty or compassion on none of the above-three subjects. Thereofre I fight Bush. They way he truly reverses on these issues is the day I stop disliking his policies so much. But will it ever happen? Nope. So who else has the power to fight Bush besides The People? Unfortunately the other big party is the only choice we have. They have the power and resources to battle and they are much-much better on the above three issues, though hardly perfect.
If I had my way, we would have a President who is more passionate than Clinton on the environment, just as fiscally conservative, as determined about campaign finance reform as McCain or Feingold and could command international respect in a friendly, classy way. Bush may feel comfortable with Mexico because they are a government oil company/crony, but he has no experience with any anther country and so far as mostly alienated them. Also, Faith-Based and Star Wars are both huge silly dishonest mistakes.
And the tax cuts ought to be more fair to the people who need it most. If all that makes me a "liberal" so be it. I could care less what label you want to use. But I consider myself conservative of many-many important things in this society. Though there are many old evils too which still can't seem to be rooted out. Like racism, sexism, greed, corruption and lying to the people about important issues.
We need new leadership. And we will get it in the next 1-3 years. |
