**Dave K**: I tend to be non-stereotypical when it comes to gun control, the environment, and investment in cities and transit. I do not think our access to personal weapons should be unfettered. I strongly support shifting from an oil-based economy to a solar economy-no more drilling for oil. I think rural America (Republican turf) is largely defunct and that our investment strategy should focus on urban areas, particularly mass transit). I respect the right of other nations to determine their own course without undue American influence. I tend not to be eager for war, as many of my fellow Republicans seem to be.


 * Peter W**: Growing up, I leaned to the left but for all practical purposes, remained fairly moderate. Early on, I was drawn to being a Democrat largely because of the environment and skepticism of the powers of the military. Upon attending a conservative college and more conservative graduate school, I found myself being both pulled and pushed to being liberal. I’ve also settled on comfortable ground of being liberal on social issues, but I remain somewhat conservative on fiscal issues, though I think Keynes and Galbraith got it right most of the time.
