re: #172 HappyWarrior

I’ll be blunt here. I don’t think voters know what the hell they want. Look at what they say where they stand on the issues. They’re for immigration reform, legal pot, easy access to contraception, and what did they do? They just handed the Senate to a party that opposes that. Sorry for sounding so cynical but I really think a lot of American voters just buy political soundbites and vote that way. And even more sad to say, I think that helped Obama win by a better amount in the first place because they bought this idea (and one I must add that he never pushed that hope and change would come over night) that change would come easily.

People can have different opinions. Just because they vote Dem or Rep doesn’t mean they have to vote straight down political lines on the issues. I don’t see anything weird about that.
