I've always leaned to the conservative for most of my adult life. However, I voted for Jimmy Carter on my first presidential vote in my youth. Since then I have come to my senses about a lot of things as I have aged. That said, conservative isn't necessarily a political party or a political ideology. For me, it has more to do with my own personal views which are generally regarded as conservative. It doesn't necessarily mean I buy into everything labeled "conservative" by the label makers.
My wife could care less about American, Russian, Belarusian, or world poiltics. After she becomes a US citizen I really doubt if she will ever vote in any election. She has never voted in any election her whole life. She lives in her own little world and that is all she cares about. Yes...I'm a part of her little world.
