The peoblem is both parties don't give what most of the Americian people want. One is too far left and the other is too far right. 60% of the country is middle of the road. These people are pro gun, pro choice, pro embriotic stem cell research, anti cloning, and anti drug/smokers. They are the ones that swing back and forth keeping the country centered. Half of their beliefs are with one party and the other half is with the other party. I know I am one of them. I normally keep my mouth shut on issues that I know 80% of GBO posters hold dear to their hearts. There is no way you are going to ever chance your mind, just like I will never change mine. At first I was 100% behind GW, but as the years go by he has lost a lot of my support by bringing his religious views into government. I now feel it is time for a change. But voting Democrat scares me a little to.
Let me explain one issue, I had this discussion last week with Michael Dukes a local radio talk show host. Mike is pro second admendment to the max, good NRA material. He host Firearms Friday, the rest of the week the topics vary. Mike was born and raised here in Alaskia's bible belt of North Pole, he also is dead set against Abortion and Embrionic Stem Cell research. OK, I can understand his view on Abortion, but not on the stem cell research. His reason it that it kills an embrio. OK I can understand that, to a point. Since the embrio is going to be throwen into an incenirator, and killed, why not remove the stem cell? When a woman has eggs frozen, then decides not to use them, they are destroyed by being throwen into an incenirator. They are wasted, no good has come of them. After our discussion, he has not changed his mind, but he at least looks at the issue from a differant prospective. As he looks into the issue farther I think the issues will speek for themselves. And while he may never be a Stem Cell supporter, I don't think he will be such an outspoken anti supporter either.
