Brenda, I think you've said this right. I believe the biggest differences in the two parties is how to allocate tax dollars. I don't think I've ever voted on a candidate based on raising or lowering taxes, as my sole concern. It maybe more of an issue locally than nationally. I also don't think I've ever voted on a candidate based solely on their party affiliations. I really do listen to the platforms, read their past records, listen to the debates, and try to make the most informed choice I can. Sometimes I vote rep., sometimes I vote dem. It just depends.

I don't think you've shown a pro-Democratic bias, but an anti-Republican one. And I'm not really interested in countering that with a pro-Republican bias, so much as I am striving to bring things back to the middle. I don't actually think that I have a pro-Republican bias. If you look back at most of my posts on this topic and others, I think you will find a common thread - I believe the parties are very similar on a few issues when it comes to their actions and the end result. And that the only way we, as Americans can change the result is to find the things we have in common, no matter what our party affiliation or political bent.
