See, Michelle, you're the poster child for what I'm saying to the Republican today. You've bought the "social values agenda" (whatever the hell that really is), exclusion of minorities spin and rhetoric, hook, line & sinker. Their (republican) real agenda (lower taxes, less government) won't become part of the political landscape in a policy sense until they put up candidates that are more impervious to the demonization tactics that are currently in use against them. That's exactly what the dems did to get Clinton elected, when you run, cloak yourself as a "new" whatever, when you get elected, legislate your real agenda.
I'm an issue oriented voter and it's really tough for me to swallow this patronization of the American people, but apparently, that's what works, so Reps better get with the program.
>>it doesn't make me happy because I dont want big government but Im not willing to go back to the 50s regardless of how many taxes I have to pay.<<
Don't worry Michelle, that's not going to happen. In the 50's families could afford a home with one wage earner, keep up your voting pattern and I'm sure you won't ever have to worry about that proposition.....but hey, you live in CA, you're used to not being able to afford your own home? Right?
