Fine, but thats not what you said. You said "There are things that both parties get right"
Well, what do the Democraps "get right", besides income redistribution? Do they respect the majority religionists? Are their policies anti-family, anti-Christian, ant-normative behavior, or are they not? Back up your assertions, or quit your belly aching.
fair enough.
i'm not belly-aching. i was trying to provoke thought. i find this stuff interesting to think about, and i was more or less thinking "out loud."
I think that at the base of Democratic ideology, is the notion that the strong should help the weak, that those who have should give to those that don't. obviously the way that Democrats have translated that into policy is just grossly ineffective and wrong. In theory, I think that they start in a defendable place, but almost after the first step, it's just too easy to disagree with them.
I vote Republican because I think that they are the closest ones to what the Founders had in mind, but even they have lost their way from time to time (as Rep. Pence pointed out in his speech at CPAC).
I agree that most of the liberal policy today is just what you said it was: anti-family, anti-Christian, anti-normative...but I don't think every Democrat falls into that category.
