I'm very liberal, socially and fiscally. Clinton and Obama are both too conservative. Kucinich is the the closest Dim I'd vote for. What passes for "liberal" in the States is a joke. The entire US is skewered further to the right than any other developed nation, not just politically, but culturally, and that's the real problem here.

Americans don't realise how badly the Repugs and the Dims are screwing everyone. They must be very thankful for typical American insularity from what life is like in developed nations outside the US.

I'd be called an evil socialist or worse here in the States, but elsewhere (like New Zealand, where I am moving back to, permanently next time) I'm pretty typical. Its damn sad when you feel like an alien in your own country of birth...
