Labels are a bit stale, I'll completely agree with you there.
I find myself aligned with the Republican platform on most issues. That being said, I'd have voted Kerry in this election too. My mother and her husband, who are American, made sure to go out and vote at my urging.

That's the one thing I was happy with about this election - voter turnout (on both sides).
My guess is that if you were to remove the political platitudes on both sides from the mix, and the media spin, that most Americans would find themselves on similar ground. EG - neither a rabid neo-con or a tree hugging leftist, but simply people with differing ideas on the usual issues (economy, homeland security, war in iraq).
Too bad both sides are creating a culture war. Be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
