I'm a Democratic-leaning independent voter that has lurked on the site for some time. Although I don't agree with the viewpoints of many here, I've learned quite a bit from the research necessary to fairly appreciate both sides of the issue. Pretty much the same reason I listen to Hannity and Rush.

I also belong to DailyKos but likewise rarely find myself in lockstep agreement with the left, either, on any issue. I'd be the first one to admit that both sides often have valid points. I just wish politicians would do a better job of acknowledging that, instead of unmercifully demonizing the other side in playing to their constituencies.

Hopefully, questions I ask along the way may enlighten other non-conservatives who occasionally browse FreeRepublic.

Your post doesn’t say much was it really necessary to announce yourself?

Preemptive Opus?

Sorry. It's another name for a Moderate. Middle of the road. When you're in the middle of the road...

What do you see in the Democrat Party that makes you lean toward it?

Which Democrats do you support?

It seems you haven't lurked long enough to understand just how poorly a vanity post from a complete noob has always been received. Have fun ... woo-hoo!

Just seems like one of those lost souls standing in the middle of the road. You know, a moderate.

I didn't realize those were allowed here.

You still have a long way to go before you’re enlightened. Joining up here is a good start though.

Take this advice from one of the original “Reagan Democrats” (read my FR profile) Keep that open mind – it is not a bad thing – but if you truly have an open mind and trust your instincts, I think you will find you agree less and less with the issues of the Left, Or should I say today’s Left, because this is in no way resembles the Democratic Party of my Father and Grandfather.

Why don’t you tell them on DK that you have signed up on FR and are trying to get along with us. Tell us how that goes, will you?
