The claim, "Oh yeah? I'm to the right of European socialists" is trolling every time it happens. Only American citizens can vote in American elections, so it doesn't matter what kind of crazy stuff Europeans socialists support.
Relative to the American electorate, you are a leftist troll.
Can you name a position taken by the GOP that you support over the position taken by the Democratic party? Because I first noticed your signature and gun related username in a thread involving Sarah Palin somehow (I think, but can't swear to it, that it was the non-scandal where the 4channer son of a Democrat state representative hacked her e-mail) and assumed you'd be a supporter of hers because she's popular in Alaska. Then I went back and re-read your post and saw that you were criticizing her somehow. (Again, I forget the issue at hand.)
Not liking Sarah Palin is fine, I guess. But I kept noticing your signature and gun related username showing up every time there was an opportunity to attack a Republican or a conservative, and usually to defend a Democrat. Unless I'm massively missing a part of your posting history, it's not reflective of you being a centrist.
Now, I don't claim to be a centrist. I'm a conservative, and my posting history reflects that... probably better than anything else*. I'm not a huge fan of the Republican party, but that doesn't make me a liberal because I don't think the solution is more Obama, Reid, and Pelosi. I've seen you criticize the Democratic party for being insufficiently liberal, which is the other side of that coin.
The problems with the major parties aside, I'll be generous and assume you're not trolling, and really think you're a centrist. Take the Cruz-Warren test. Ted Cruz and Elizabeth Warren are probably the most conservative and the most liberal mainstream politicians in the country today. In order to be a centrist, there has to be at least one issue where you agree with Cruz and disagree with Warren, and one issue where you agree with Warren and disagree with Cruz. I want you to really think about what it says about you if all your tallies are in the Warren column.
It says you're a liberal. And that's fine. There's nothing wrong with that**. But take it from me. You'll be happier once you realize that you come down on one side of the isle and not the other.
*To save you the trouble of digging through my post history, other topics that I post on are Microsoft and how I'm usually a fan... Apple and how I'm usually not... Google often makes good Android-related decisions and bad non-Android ones... I'm quick to defend the Zune... The 360 was a great console, and I have an Xbox One, but I don't think that a great console game has come out yet this console generation. A couple of times, I've asked Sony fans if there's an exclusive on their side of the isle that's truly great.
**Except for the fact that you're wrong.
