I'm not a soldier for a political party.  I'm an Michigander with the ability to think independently.  I'd describe myself as a progressive centrist with the original meaning of "progressive".  I'm pro-Life and strongly pro-Second Amendment, but I generally disagree with the types of people that showed up at the tea parties about the role of government.  Like Republican Michigander, I blog on both Right Michigan and Michigan Liberal.  I don't do it to troll or for narcicissism.  I do it because I believe the exchange of political discourse between folks on the left and on the right, as well as those of us in the center, produces a better society.  I also believe that a political system with at least two strong parties is necessary to keep government honest.  If you feel that is stupid or idiotic, so be it.  While I don't object to Nick pointing out I'm a Dem staffer, I'm not blogging here as either.
