RL while I agree with some of your liberal views on social issues and I guess by extension other social liberals. I also don't for a second believe that any democrat has a viable economic plan for the country.
I agree with your statement. I don't think the Ds have a viable, cohesive, understandable economic plan. But I don't think the Rs do either. They have a plan, less spending, less taxes ... but the debt has always gone up when they have control. So I think their plan is simplistic and they don't really take it seriously. Both parties frustrate me.
There has for years been an unspoken don't ask don't tell agreement that yes gay unions do happen we ignore it and they go about there business. So I don't understand voting with liberals for there need to legalize certain activities that are largely overlooked when the most pertinent crisis in America is the economic one. Now I'm not sure there's a politician alive who can repair our economy, but do you honestly believe Obama can repair our economy? If so, why?
I agree with the jist of this statement too. If they would just ignore it when campaigning then I would be fine with that. Unfortunately, the Rs tend to move (logically and reasonably) to the right in order to survive the primaries ... and in doing so make these issues an election topic. Once they are elected, by and large they do ignore them. But during the election cycle, it does have an impact.
