That is a strong polarizing issue that keeps people on one side of the political fence or the other. If they made a real law, either way, then people might base their vote on something else. Take my wife for example. In all she is a very liberal thinker but when it comes to abortion she is strictly against it. That one issue has her voting conservatively at every election. She is not alone, there are many like her. If you file the abortion issue away, it might drastically change the political landscape. <br />For me, I'm a very liberal thinker and vote that way. My concerns this past election was focused on the environment and the wars we find our country in. Obama promised change and like a fool I believed him; his actions on both fronts have been less than expected (OK very disappointing) to say the least. But looking back who else could I have voted for? That old guy and the bimbo? I think not, I cringe to thing of the mess we would be in if those two were in the White House. Unfortunately most elections come down to the lesser of two evils I suppose.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560169341792439511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276394445294788649.post-3977410087050456032010-06-17T16:14:38.307-04:002010-06-17T16:14:38.307-04:00What THEY said.

I used to think that a multi-party, parliamentary system would avoid some of the problems Gabi pinpoints, but Europe's experience hasn't been all that great lately either. Corporations have the means, the will and the persistence to turn just about any system of government to their ends.Peter Patauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791464275398693662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276394445294788649.post-38239975053022718432010-06-16T13:46:36.173-04:002010-06-16T13:46:36.173-04:00That's the problem in a two-party country wher...That's the problem in a two-party country where the two parties and their candidates' campaigns depend heavily on corporate funding. It doesn't make a difference anymore because they have to serve the interests of the sharks anyway.cybergabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11046481296417994068noreply@blogger.com
