I would bet most of the people here are not strongly right-wing nor left-wing. I would think most just choose not to enter into political debate, knowing that most of those who associate themselves strongly with either the left or the right already have their mind completely made up, regardless of the facts. Debate, for most of them, is only an opportunity to spout their side's talking points, and often an excuse to shamelessly insult the other side.

The truth is neither side is 100% right. If you don't believe that then you're really only listening to one side of the media, your parents, or your religion. Those who truly listen to both side realize they both have some good points.

Republican or Democrat....it doesn't really matter....BOTH parties are corrupt and morally bankrupt.

Agreed! Why should I have to go along with higher taxes and bigger government if I'm against stupid wars? And why should I have to go along with phone tapping if I'm for gun rights??? Why should we have to deal with corporate welfare regardless of which viable party I choose? Lets vote them all out of office.
