2) Free Market Issues (as related to the United States, not the world) - this seems to have some common ground on both sides. The trend seems to follow better regulation, not more. I also see some agreement on enforcement of regulations.

3) Social Programs (i.e. reform or decrease the amount) - seems to have some appeal to both sides

4) I might be stretching a bit, but it seems that Abortion could hold some common ground--I see that pro-lifer's and pro-choicer's seem to both want the number of abortions to be a lot less than they are. This would tell me that both sides may be able to find ground regarding ideas to limit the need for abortion rather than the typical for/against abortion tirade.

Am I reading this right? Do you agree? Disagree?

So far, I must admit to being pleasantly suprised.

Any one care to add more?
I'll add that I've been in agreement with the posts of some people whom I never thought I'd find common ground with.

It will probably make me be less of a smartass when I reply to them, at least for a while.

I second the statement that this thread was a good idea.
