>>I consider myself center-left -- a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. That means less interference from the govt, in both the public (as in tax paying, tax spending) and the private lives of people (as in legalizing abortion) -- at least, that is what it means to me.<< I think the majority of Americans tend to think in those terms and I would include myself in that group. But as you say there is a tremendous amount of excessive rhetoric and stereotypical "labeling" of people that's gets in the way of civil discourse. I have found when you really dig into the reasoning of people of differing views they often don't conform to what is the pervasive image.
