Reply #7: No, the middle are the people [View All]

are the ones who don't think in extremes. They aren't uber religious, but they don't think you have to switch the name of the Halloween party at school to 'the Fall Celebration'. They don't want abortion to be illegal, but they want some limits set. They don't want to take away everybody's guns, but they think gun control is a good idea. They aren't socialists, but they want some effective social programs.

I am probably politically middle left. Idealistically, I am more left, but realistically I know it isn't any more fair for me to think that 300 million people should live with my ideals than I should have to live with Pat Robertson's ideals. I think that instead of the two parties trying to KILL each other, they should figure out a common ground where most people would feel fine and the two edges could live with it, even if it does not represent them completely.
