On what issue have you changed your mind on most drastically since being interested in politics?

If you generally classify yourself as a conservative or liberal, on what issue are you the most opposite on? (ie, I'm conservative, but pro-choice.... I'm liberal, but for gun rights)


For me, I haven't really changed my view on this issue, but I've created a radical viewpoint (not so radical to the founding fathers, but to today's citizen)... I would fight to the death to see the 17th amendment repealed and go back to the framers intentions on the issue of how Senate members are selected. There is currently a small movement to do just that, and Zell Miller actually introduced legislation a few years back in support of it.

On the second question, I'm a radical conservative with liberterian leanings. So its easy for me to have polar opposite views when dealing with social compared to fiscal issues. I'm pro-gay marriage, anti-death penalty, and generally a non-interventionist. I'm for legalized drug use and prostitution. These are things that go against conservative views (mainstream).

So your turn. What have you changed your mind about? And what views do you consider to be polar opposites of what your general political philosophy is?
