Do these answers make me 3/4 a Democrat? There is far to much diversity of opinion extant in society to neatly box and catagorize the electorate into "conservative" or "liberal" camps. I personally don't like the socialist, government-as-nanny leanings of the Democratic left or the theocratic social agenda of the Republican religious right. I suspect there are many others who share this view.
