Nicie - Yep, that's true. There's no problem and I'm not picking on you - honest.
I just throw out the disclaimer just to let you know (and many other onlookers - as I often do), that there is a range of opinions and perspectives here.
Actually, here, let me give you a quick synopsis about that stuff here (going off topic a tad, but it fits in the current context):
If we are able to break down all politics into:
1. Social Issues, and 2. Economic Issues
We can make a wild 'guesstimate' as to how our posting members breakdown (again, it's just a guess, and by my own observation - I actually like to do a formal survey here somehow to better understand our own internal demographics/attitudes...):
a. Social Conservative/Economic Conservative= about 80% (of all posters)
b. Social Conservative/Economic Progressive= about 15% (I am here)
Arguably, most closely characterized as a 'Blue Dog Democrat', say.
c. Social Progressive/Economic Conservative= about %5
Say, arguably, more closely associated with being a RINO
d. Social Progressive/Economic Progressive= 0% (well, probably a 1% to represent certain trolls that show up - to be more accurate)
Obviously, the greatest 'gray area' in the categories above, lie in the mix of 'b' and 'c'. The terms and definitions can matter a great deal in lumping people into one of those categories.
Just FYI - for those following the thread. :D
