Quote:What about social issues? They're really behind the times with those as well. Too much religion placed into their party platforms. Remove all of that and you'd have a good party.

 

I can agree to an extent.  Though it's just my personal feeling I'll say that lack of some type of religion is also a problem.  I don't want to turn this into a (forbidden) religious discussion, but it seems that religion or religious symbols, especially those of the Christian nature are pretty much shunned by the democrat party to the point where they deem them "offensive".  Yet, there is still a vast majority of the public that still follows/practices said religion.

 

This could be a whole other topic in itself, but the way that some people are about religion on both sides of the aisle should be discussed out in the open.  I don't think that it has any place in the political process, but it does give a good frame of reference in to how perspective candidates would govern/vote.
