well according to that chart in my last post I am as close to a centrist as we have here on tweb other than Cow Poke who made his own chart. My view on abortion is that it is murder.
A centrist doesn't wobble on every issue, it means that they are left on some issues and right on others so that averaging everything out they end up in the middle. I think that I am more to the right of center than the chart shows though. Maybe I misunderstood one of the questions, they were worded oddly.

Nah, I had you pegged as more of a centrist. You aren't doctrinaire enough to be a true blue conservative."Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,

I have come around to thinking that universal healthcare might be a good thing IF the government does it correctly (which I highly doubt). I think some drugs should be legalized. But I think the laws for using those drugs in public (like smoking and driving) should be very strict. I don't want potheads driving around on the street). I am for some regulation of corporations to keep them in check and make sure they are good citizens. I believe some taxes are necessary for a society to function.
