Never heard that before.

I don't believe i've heard it put exactly that way either but doesn't his new immigration proposal lean pretty far left? Essentially he is rewarding illegal immigrants.

I support increased govermental regulation of businesses

All business, both public and private? I think the government already has too much of a role in small business. For example, why should it be a small business' responsiblity to pay an employees alimony, child support or bakruptsy bills? Why can't the employee take the responsiblity? The check to pay these items STILL has to be written it doesn't magically get sent out.

It has always been the civil rights and freedom aspects of politics that matter to me,

Like fingerprinting people who visit this Country by airplane? I've got a Georgia drivers license and have to (and have for quite some time) give a digital fingerprint every time I renew my drivers license. This rule was definately put in to effect before Bush took office and our previous Governor was a democrat.
