Well, since the original Republicans ultimately became the Democrats, and most of their original doctrines were extremely conservative by today's standards; and since the new Republican party was originally arguably more liberal than today's Democrats; and since I believe in some of the liberal tenets, but only at the state level, never at the federal, which is arguably conservative; and since I hold mostly conservative beliefs but feel that neither party is truly what they project nor what the other side accuses them of...
I was born totally brainless and innocent, just like everybody else. Are we 'born' one or the other, in that we have an inate tendency to feel that way, or are we trained to feel the way we do by our overall upgbringing? Nature vs Nurture? Black vs White? In vs Out? Up vs Down?
Having reached the age where I can make my own decisions, I find myself becoming more independent every day. I hate parties, and I hate party politics. It's all cliques and clubs, and my side's right and your side's stupid.
And so's the guy who did that study.
