re: #426 stuiec

Yes, on BOTH sides. SoCons insist on pushing their priorities on the party — and the party moderates insist on pushing the SoCons out of the party.

Isn’t Israeli politics so much tidier, where everyone can belong to a party that exactly matches their laundry list of priorities and positions, and no one has to accommodate or compromise with anyone who thinks differently on any single issue?

I abhor the idea of parliamentary systems of government.

Look- social issue voters are confused as to the role of government- period. It’s not the proper role of government to promote “values”- whether I agree with those values or not is moot. However- returning to fiscal matter could have a big impact on social matter- such as welfare funding undermining the family.

This is what I meant earlier when I said when government gets involved with social issues, it tends to make things worse, not better. The answers to these social problems is not more government.
