    My name is odanny, I live in Central Illinois and am a left leaning independent and a six year U.S. Army veteran. I don't consider myself a Democrat because the Democrats are weak and ineffective and they pretty much make me sick. But they are not ideological gangsters like their opposition in the House and Senate, and therefore am left with little choice but to support them. I have supported some local Green Party candidates in the past but they get zero traction nationally and almost no traction locally, especially in a conservative wasteland like where I live, where a Republican for Congress is automatic. As in over 100 years straight. But I survive here with the hope of moving someday, hopefully in around 5 years.

    Welcome. Former Army here, but a staunch conservative. I like the way the government was operated back in the 80's---the 1780's.
