Well, as Democrat, he has my full support even though I'd doubt very much that I'd oppose the Patriot Act

No offense Dave but why are you a Democrat exactly? Economic issuses? Family tradition? Just wondering. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
Well, I'm not actually American but, being a member of the UK Labour Party, I identify with the Democratic Party more than I ever could the GOP. So, for the most part, it is economic issues. It's part family tradition, too, my family has roots in Georgia - though I suspect my kin were very different Democrats from what I am. This partially explains my general interest in American politics
I'm closer to the GOP on defense and national security; indeed, I'm probably the most 'hawkish' member within the ranks of my local Constituency Labour Party
On 'hot-button' issues, I'm fairly mixed (on some issues, like the death penalty, I'm left and on others, like abortion, I lean right) but these carry little to no saliency in the UK, which is, thankfully, a good thing
Dazzleman has defined me as a
1940s Democrat , which I'd say is reasonably accurate
