Politics is much more complex than just "left and right". That canard has been drilled into us so much that we don't see the other directions that are involved.
When a Republican president gets into power, you will see me going after what they are doing when they screw up. Romney's opinions will only matter when he has the power to impliment them.
Right now BOTH parties are all gung ho about the NDAA, and other atrocities, and they both agree on the war mongering stuff.
As for domestic policy, I believe utterly in the Austrian school free market economy as the best way for everyone to benefit, and generally left wing politics is the most opposed to that. They tend to want to involve the government much more, when it comes to regulation and taxation, (it's a core of their beliefs), and I think that when you take away the peoples ability to freely create their own wealth, then you remove their ability to fight back against oppressive government, or even flee from it if need be.
On the other hands the Republicans have been just as bad over the last 15 years in terms of taxing and spending, increasing regulations on everything. Although they also want to control our personal choices, i.e "vices", I again see both parties moving full force with this disgusting "war on drugs", and interestingly, (and happily), the Republicans have done almost nothing on the Federal level to affect things like porn, dispite their horrible rhetoric on the subject. This, of course, could change at some point.
