I know this post was not to me, but I have a constuctive suggestion.
I suggest you study political philosophys and policies of both the Pubs and the Dems since say 1960 (just to keep it resonably short) with an eye to the leftward tend of both parties. What was consider left wing then(1960) i.e. Kennedy's policies would be considered almost Libertarian today. And todays so called right wing conservative policies would be considered part of the loony left in 1960. Just IMHO. Just a suggestion.
