Yeah you have made it clear that it wasn't their radical leftism that turned you off, you still appear to be a hard core lefty on the social issues, still in support of their platform in post 22, with the exception of defense.
I am NOT left leaning on social issues, quite the opposite actually. I am most driven politically on economic issues. I side with the right on social issues, but social issues are not my greatest passion politically. I believe that spending more than you take in is immoral.
