I do not generally view you as a wild-eyed nutjob, that is correct. While I hold fiscally conservative views and clearly adhere closely to principles of math, statistics, and science, I am socially liberal where it doesn't conflict with fiscal views (which I hold to be the most important of all). So, there is probably more middle ground than our historical verbal battles suggest. One thing about Congress is that they have lined up on opposite sides, but that is not a sign of bad politics; rather, it is a sign that our political system is collapsing. I do blame Democrats, who put politics well ahead of the national concern. This is exemplified clearly, in my opinion, in the recent Quinnipiac poll, which found that over 70% of Republican voters were interested in seeing a president with NO Washington, DC background (i.e., "outsiders") while over 70% of Democrats preferred candidates who possess a strong DC background (i.e., political insiders). It is a very telling statistic, as it does serve to indicate who prefers the "monied interests" and who is truly seeking an alternative to the same old crap. I do believe it is why Ben Carson will be our next president in a landslide. (You heard it here first).
