“The far left disgusts me, and in many ways this is one reason that I vote Republican. I am also not pleased with the Democratic ideas for immigration and support of affirmative action.”

The far left disgusts me also. The far right also disgusts me.

I am against affirmative action of any kind. Immigration is complex; while I believe we should protect American jobs, I don’t think those jobs are as at risk as the right would have us believe.

I am not a christian, yet I am against abortion as “contraceptive.”

So we’re closer on a lot of things than most.

And, as far as the left-right battle goes, it’s not so much that people on the right disgust me with their positions (although I disagree with some of them strongly), it’s their tactics that I find repulsive. Everything is fought with attacks, rhetoric, emotion, and manipulation. Let’s talk issues (like you and I are here).

I understand that talking issues isn’t what got them elected, and I suppose that’s the real problem. People respond more to their emotional tactics than to any logical ones.
