I love this writer's (Christine Stansell's) use of the phrase "anti-choice". I guess this means pro-choice people are either "anti-life" or "pro-death"? Which is it?

What a STUPID decision to write that into the article.....

Rule of Thumb...

Any sufficiently controversial issue should not be legislated. Unless there is a clear consensus it just leads to wedge issues like these which divide the American public- and through this division bad politicians can get into office based on a promise to one group or another.

Do I vote largely based on wedge issues? Yes. But by and large the public is left with no alternative.

Some of these wedge issues, like Gay marriage/unions/abortion are so polarizing that any idiot running for office can get in because he espouses the "correct view" for a core set of voters. There is no debate on anything substantive.

I'm looking for a politician "Guns and ***" platform... give them marriage or unions, and let me have my gun. Balance the budget, stay out of stupid wars, and I could care less who they sleep with or what they believe about God.

I want my nation defended, and my garbage picked up. Beyond that I want my liberty.

Period.
