I am tired of hearing how one side wants to portray he other as wanting to dictate their views. I actually heard one on TV last night {CNN Headline News around 5-7 I was at work} say "Sarah Palin deserves to have her child in this problem, because maybe if she believed in birth control and sex ed her daughter wouldn't be an embarrassment to this campaign."

That is pathetic..... they wish to portray Dems as saviors but let's look:

It was the Democrats that started no smoking legislation in Ohio. It is the Democrats that fight to keep even a meditation period out of school, the Pledge of Allegiance, GUN CONTROL, and so on. The Dems are just as extreme in the power they want over lives.

It's all about power over others lives. So don't get self righteous and believe it is just one side. IT'S BOTH.

One reason this election sucks is this is one of extreme sides. Both parties to pander to the vocal minorities in their parties have gone too far in each direction.

What's wrong with compromise, finding a middle, letting the people, the states, the communities decide if they want abortion, gun control, sex ed... whatever? That would be too wrong. The {insert party here} knows what is best over that issue and we need to standardize it across the US.... even though communities were started on beliefs in most cases and as we have eroded the people's power to have those beliefs, we have destroyed those communities.

The problem has become we are like a rubber band right now. The left hand has pulled, the right hand has pulled equally hard, neither side will let go. This leads to where the band is so tight it has no choice but to either break or both sides let go at the same time and it can snap back and retract saving the whole.

So until you see the log in your own eye and admit BOTH sides wish to control your life..... you only fool yourself. Don't be all pious and self righteous and tell everyone your side isn't about control..... they both are.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
