[quote="Short Hand":e586e]No need for me to do the math, I can overwhelmingly notice (without doing any math) that I am pretty liberal. It is not that hard. If you can't see which you are..... maybe you do not know yourself as well as you thought.[/quote:e586e]

That's dumb. You can see yourself liberal probably because you split that way on all or the majority of social issues...Not everyone is like that.

I myself am pretty divided....and if a new issue revealed itself in the future, I might not take a liberal stance on it....but If I call myself a "liberal," people would assume that I would take that liberal stance, where I could just as easily take a conservative view of it.

That's why a bunch of us have trouble labeling ourselves one way, when there is a decent chance we could go either way, depending on the individual issue.
