Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Junction City, 64 year old

I do not own a car or much of anything else and have few investments any more either. .
Political leanings are a good way to determine compatability. I am Left of Obama - more of a Ralph Nader fan. I was a huge Barach Obama fan and worked for his election. Now I am disappointed that he did not do something about jobs the first few months in office. When people critisize Obama, I shudder to think of what John McCain and Sarah Palin would have done in his place. Or put another way, I am not remotely a right wing conservative Republican.
