I don't know.. maybe it is a pipedream and maybe I won't ever have any political party in this country that actually represents my viewpoints. I just feel both the Republican party and the Democrat party spend way too much time trying to make the extremist in their parties happy and ignoring the more centrist sides of their parties. I guess I just feel the majority of time spent debating "political issues" the most of the time is spent righting some wrong (or wronging some right as the case may be) for one side or the other's extremist views of the hotbutton topics.
