You are making sense, and I thank you for explaining your views to me. I am a fan of how you agree with me on pretty much every issue!
I find the political party thing to be very testy. I'm not sure which party to identify with, but I know for sure that I am a super dee duper "bleeding heart liberal" (though I do hate that phrase; it's rather grim). If the Republican party today was what it was when Lincoln was president or when Teddy Roosevelt was president, I would probably be a Republican. But I have been raised to hate -- and I do hate, of my own accord -- the modern Republican party. So I turn to the modern Democratic party, which seems to have become what the Republican party once was.
I don't agree with Libertarianism because I think the government needs to interfere at some point -- that's why we have one in the first place. How did we get out of the Great Depression? Well, WWII, but also because of government made programs (and a modern Democratic president... I mean, what? :P). Obama just happens to be in favor of the government stepping in to fix things. Oh, and I'm going to add that I don't understand this "Socialist" business. He said one thing that indicated that way of thinking. But why doesn't America see that he is SO MODERATE? I WANTED HIM TO BE MORE RADICAL SOMETIMES.
I don't understand how anyone can be FABGLITTER (just read that link and have to use it because LOL) and a neo-con. THEY HATE YOU. Also, you're right, people should include the Q&A every once in a while because they are components. There are just a lot of letters ;)
I'm hoping America will start seeing him as moderate - the Overton window needs a little pushing to the 'left'.
As for MSGI (I like the idea of MSGI, I'll give it a shot) Republicans ... well, my take is that they, like me, hope to help convey the party out of the culture-war quagmire and into being a genuine alternative voice on issues. A voice which offers analysis and challenges assumptions, not just demonizes sick twelve-year-old boys for the sin of not supporting their current leader (http://www.balloon-juice.com/?p=8827).

...that's just appalling. What is wrong with these people, trying to discredit a kid who was in a car crash?
