Independents: To which political party do you tend to lean toward?

[Ronnie]

I call myself an independent-thinking Republican, since I'm pretty moderate on social issues, and disagree with Republicans on energy policy. 

However, I am a registered Republican and probably always will be.

What about you?

In a way, I am a Democratic version of you, in that I am an independent-thinking Democrat, so much so that many wonder why I remain in this party. 

I lean slightly conservative on social issues, am largely centrist on economics, center-left on the environment and energy independence, and agree with McCain at least with regard to our commitment to stay in Iraq until it has stabilized.

Yeah, huh?  Most Democrats were like you until the left wing of the party took over.

LOL, what happened to the fellow interventionist, capitalist, and social moderate-conservatives such as myself?  I guess they aren't so common around here.
