Democrats used to be more like Republicans, Republicans more like Democrats, they sometimes got together to pass good legislation but now both parties have retreated to the extreme of both parties.

You know, someone here (forget who) keeps saying that if you are middle of the road, you don't believe in anything. I just don't think that is true. I'm a fiscal conservative with liberal leanings on social issues, but I don't believe in extremes on either side. Doesn't mean that I don't have strong beliefs, but I don't swallow whole all views of either side.
For example, I support creating a favorable climate for business, but not necessarily going overboard in making policies that favor only the wealthy. I don't want the government controlling my charity through high taxes, but I don't want them controlling my body either.

I don't think that I'm so different from many people. I have nothing against the rich and think that people with the drive and ambition to get there should be allowed to live the life that their industriousness has brought them; but at the same time, I believe in social responsibility for those of us that have to try to help those who have fallen on hard times. And I don't think that the government should have to legislate it.
