It's interesting, several of the "issues" ace brought up in his post are for the most part non-issues for a lot of people. The problem is that the most vocal people tend to focus on those issues rather than real issues that affect this country. A lot of the major issues that always get discussed around election time like abortion, gay marriage, gun ownership, and the like are personal type issues rather than major problems facing this country. I love how some people think that by stopping abortions or limiting gay rights, or stopping all gun ownership would miraculously solve all problems in the country. The truth is they are distractions that bog down debates, polarize people, and get in the way of the real problems.
I really wish both parties would just cut the crap and realize that a lot of people don't really care about those things.
