Strangler and myself (correct me if I'm wrong, Professor), are of more liberal Republican or centrist mindsets. So, sometimes we argue for the same viewpoint, but we go about it very differently than the right-wing crazies.

To boil my veiwpoints down:
I'm a fiscally conservative
Socially moderate, even leaning to the left except for abortion where I am formly in the middle
Diplomatically, I believe in Teddy Roosevelt's stance: Speak softly, but carry a big stick. I think that holds true for both diplomacy and the military.
But when it comes to politics, I can remove myself and enjoy the spectacle. Presidential elections are almost like sport to me. Its just fun watching everything develop.
