He did pretty much state on the radio in Boston that he is against the death penalty (said criminals should be studied like lab rats, instead...as this is more valuable to society).

He also said in various ways that he was for the invasion of Iraq/democritisation of the Middle East, etc...but thinks the Bush administration have handled it in infantile ways.

He is also for DRASTICLALY higher pay for first responders, firefighters and police.

He also stated that he could understand the Palestinians being pissed off and that if he were born there he'd probably have an AK in his hands too.

Sounds to me like Dave is kind of...Spartan.
Extremely socially liberal, high taxes if needed (for social programs and military), and openly militaristic.

Hence...

DAVE's a Libertarian Conservative...

That doesn't make him a "Republican" necessarily...Since LC's have been plowed under by the religious extremists...Which DAVE clearly is not.

I get the impression Dave leans to the side of public service and sees the value of government social programs...which can be very expensive...thus lot's o' taxes ...which Libertarian nor Conservatives agree with.

the way I see it, the guy wants to be a Democrat in every sense of the word, he is just really dismayed at what he perceives as the reactionary stance the Democratic Party has taken towards the war in Iraq.
