I am intrigues buy the term fundimentalist republican! I also take exception that the vast majority of people "in the middle" stand for nothing I think if you were to poll a cross section of people you would find that the vast majority of people do fall in the middle! maybe it's my Methodist upbringing, but the axiom "all things in moderation" seems to fit the vast majority of the time. I happen to vote Republican on most issues, but I have some strong feelings against some of the right wing stances on abortion and gun control. I think some social programs that were developed by democrats are terrific, but again, I certainly don't believe in the social state that some left wings would have us believe is a panacea. I also worked my ass off over the years to get where I am today, and I think it is tragic that we now have an entire generation that has been raised in the welfare system who haven't had the work ethic driven in to them as I had. I certainly have every opportunity to pay my fair share of taxes year in and year out, and I resent when liberals say the rich aren't paying taxes. I work every year until the middle of June before I get any money of my own because the first half goes to the government. just a thought, but I am tired of reading how horrible all the conservatives are. Give me a moderate politician anytime over the extremes of either party.
