IMO - The opinions voiced here are actually a very small minority of the general populace in my area(remember that my state and the large military presence here are mostly conservative). Most Democrats that I talk with daily are of the conservative nature. This is enforced nationally by the numbers of voters against gay marriage in the states that had it on the ballot. While I respect the right to an opinion, and the right to voice it, I do wonder where some TFP members get their far leftist views and why there seems to be a disproportionate number here on TFP.
I believe that while gay marriage, legalization of weed, and other issues may be a hot topic here on TFP, they have little or no support with the conservative Democrat. I believe that unless the Democrats mentor a conservative candidate, the Republicans will continue to have a majority. Unfortunately, this can lead to a huge imbalance in the legislative process. This imbalance can only make the minority feel left out.
I am grateful that every one here has been truthful with their opinions, though some make my blood curl. They at least make me reevaluate my current standings on the issues.
