I'm actually not, i've spent a good bit of time in the states, i've enjoyed every second spent there and have great respect for the many friends i've gained over there. I despise George Bush and this administration and what it's doing in the world. I despise the war in Iraq (Yes I was one of the 100,000 people marching in Dublin against the war just before GWB invaded), I think the US has lost it's standing and respect in the world as result of it's actions post 9/11 and i'd love to see things be turned around in that respect. I'm definatley more left than right but can surprise people at times with some very hardline right wing views. I don't really believe in the labels for this reason but I suppose I lean to the left.

Looking forward to some good honest debate
