Political description of the preceding forumite

[patrick1]

For Daz, A pragmatic conservative.

And...  What about me?

You strike me as a liberatarian transposed on a socially conservative upbringing.  I don;t mean bible bashing type, but Middle American moderation and even tempered-ness.

[dazzleman]

Blue collar Republican; would have once been called a Nixon Democrat, or a Reagan Democrat.

Accurate. Although, I am actually a white collar worker with bue collar sensibilities becuase of my upbringing.  Had I lived in my parents' generation I likely would have abandoned the Democratic party in the 60's becuase they lurched too far left on social and economic issues.  <Sorry to derail the flow of the  thread.

Dazz: "I don't give a sh**t" Republican. Basically, first concern re: governance is about self, as is the last and every other in between. This could be interpreted as selfish, although I think that it's actually the best type of republican-no real interest to conquer the world or 'treat homosexuals for their condition'. Basically, live and let live, but without actually caring about the 'let live' part so much.

NOTE: this is just in politics, not in day-to-day life. On a personal level, Dazz isn't selfish or anything, from what I've gathered

Kind of like me, but more moderate, especially with regards to economics.  Supports a nationalized health system.  Yay!

I realize you're really white collar, but I know your background.  As I said, I welcome guys like you to the Republican party who may have been Democrats under the old political alignment.  We need you.

Interesting interpretation, though I don't think highly accurate.  I oppose liberal policies because I consider them to be very damaging, and to many people a lot more than they are to me.  If I were totally selfish, I'd probably be a limousine liberal who insulated myself from the effects of the policies that I support.

You may need him, but that doesn't mean you can have him.  He can decide on his own which party suits his interests better.

True, but that doesn't change the fact that Dems need to win back people like Patrick.
