I think you better re-evaluate what your political and social beliefs are because Democrats WANT, LIKE and NEED a big government to protect them and take care of their basic needs.

Hate to break it to you but you are probably a political conservative or libertarian in general, and you certainly can have liberal social views(like most of us here).
i consider myself an independent.. i have some democratic views, but as a business person i also agree with some of the republican views..

i do not believe in big govt, but i also dont believe in a small expensive govt.

i do believe in social programs, but i also believe that there is a huge difference between a handout and a hand up..

i also believe that there should be strict term limits in any govt position.

i believe that the electoral college should be abolished in favor of popular vote.

i believe that any politician found guilty of corruption should be sentenced to life in prison.

i believe that lobbyists should be abolished and that corporations are capped on campaign contributions.

i can go on for days, but at the end of the day i dont believe that any of these things will happen in my lifetime...
