Since the two primary political parties have taken the stances they have, voters who have strong beliefs on the two are unfortunately forced to choose one over the other. There are a bloc of such voters who don't like some of the GOP's social stances, but vote for Democrats although they would prefer lower taxes and spending.oaktonhokie wrote:This is getting old.

Yeah, right.
Liar.

That statement points out how screwed up their priorities are. They're more concerned with social issues than spending issues. This country is so doomed to fail.
