we can play who is far left and who is far right if you want to. Which fart right posistions do you believe I hold? Not being a liberal doens't make me far right nor does calling liberals liberals.
I'm pro-choice
I support gay marriage
I support a progressive tax code
I support cuts to the defense budget
I support reasonable gun control laws
I have problem with a national healthcare system even if I don't like what is being pushed now.
I support help for the working poor
I support more regulation of industries like banking and insurance
What posistion do you support that you consider right of center? Are there any major hot button issues where you break with the left?

why do you insist on arguing as though you get all your ideas from glenn beck and rush limbaugh? you've gone on record to say that the NYT is not a credible news source as well as your comment about "liberal media" at least twice now in this thread. in fact, you throw the "liberal" epithet around in exactly the same context as the rest of the right. if you're such a moderate, your talking points should also come from the center, but yet you still manage to only denigrate people as though you are a far right republican wing nut without getting any of the above positions you say you hold into any of the discussions here.
