re: #2 Kravmavolley
Yep… I realize that I am very liberal on some issues and sort of conservative on others (though not to any great degree) so overall I would say I am a moderate liberal as well. I am pretty happy with President Obama and I was very happy with President Clinton.
But the one thing I do know is that I have absolutely no plans of voting for Republicans with the party configured as it currently is. There is just zero upside there.
I would agree, but sadly when you have a two party system some people decide to vote for the other party when they are dissatisfied with the party in power, even if that is counterproductive to their long-term interests and wellbeing.
