Political Leanings

In my college undergrad days my political lean was to the right and I voted all Republican. Over the years I have swung towards the center, and over the last couple of years I think that I now am more on the left. I am not at the point to blindly vote all Democrat, but I think that I would not vote for any one that is a hard core right wing Republican.

Here is a list of where I stand on certain political issues. I will use a five point system with 1 being far left liberal Democrat, 3 being mainstream middle, and 5 being far right conservative Republican.
