Anyone who runs on the Democratic ticket is loudly declared "far left" by the Republicans.
Obama is for capital punishment, he's for 'civil unions' as opposed to gay marriage, he's against legalizing marijuana, he's for a strong military and he's very hawkish on Afghanistan.
He's left of center and that's about it. Also, on the subje of a comprehensive energy policy (if) we also include alternative energy strategies.
Well, then Im guessing he was once called the "most liberal senator" for no reason.
His stand on certain issues may well be centrist, but my point was that overall he tends to lean left.
left of center, exactly.

Originally posted by generalissimoPerhaps I'm splitting hairs but when I hear someone is "Liberal" I think of someone who's on the left across the board. Incidentally I consider myself to be a Liberal.

But yes, I agree. On the whole he's definitely on the left.

Soon we will be paying more on the interest for our debt than we do for health care every year. In fact, we may already be there now. So what will we do when this burden doubles? Imagine how may people the US could help if they did not have to pay much massive interest on the debt.
whodey, you have to accept that sometimes you have to pour money into the problem to solve it. Surely that can't be statist.
