I consider myself increasingly an independent as opposed to a Democrat.
Economically as well as socially, I am leaning more in the Republican direction, though I fear I never will gain the affection of antitax zealots or the Religious Right.
Environmentally I am more of a Democrat, being supportive of the Clean Air and Clean Water acts, as well as Growth Management acts (like those in Washington and Oregon) that protects farmland and pristine wilderness areas from development, as well as being open to mandatory CO2 emissions limits and a carbon tax to battle global warming. I also favor what Democrats in Congress have done in shifting investments away from traditional fossil fuel industries to alternative energy sources (including nuclear energy).
Foreign policy wise....well...I'll get back to you on that. Had it not been for the Iraq War debacle, I would be strongly in the Republican camp.
