Are We Moving To Political Extremes?

I think people are really getting turned off by the Republicans pandering to the religious right with abortion, gays, etc. and the Democrats who are beholden radical environmentalists and to the progressive caucus socialists. It seems like people aren't voting FOR candidate Romney or Obama, they're voting against the other guy.

    funny, I thought the Republican senate was polarizing the nation. and the likes of Palin.

    But America is fed to see black and white, no grey, so we are not empathetic or rational, just extreme in our opinions. congress is full of @-ss clowns in cliques. we need the rise of a solid third party as well as independent minded congressmen.

    Not really... the Billionaires are getting as LOT richer - and republicans who defend them are getting a LOT dumber.

    It's amazing to see the stupid Cons sit in their trailers and pay the taxes for their Billionaires and call is "Freedom".
