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.

"Democratic-leaning independent voter" == a Liberal who is afraid to admit they are a Liberal, and want Conservatives not to think too badly of them.
Sorry. It's another name for a Moderate. Middle of the road. When you're in the middle of the road...

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

Not zot material (but then I’m not a moderator). Just seems like one of those lost souls standing in the middle of the road. You know, a moderate.
