Hi CSL, I tend toward moderation myself. The school lunch program is an example of liberalism gone nuts. It has expanded exponentially to include school breakfast, summer feeding and now even take home dinner meals. Parental responsibility be damned. Yikes, what do the parents do with their additional food stamp money they receive for their offspring? They get cash back to purchase soap, toothpaste etc. -but don't they go across the street and buy a qt. of vodka. And the school lunch program is so under funded it leads not just to dependency but obesity as well - a potentially huge cost to the health care system. There's plenty of room for compromise there as there is for gun control. State and local governments are spending huge amounts on policing, justice, prisons and probation. Just 2 examples where moderation makes sense and would save taxpayers billions. Moderation - both parties need to relearn the art of compromise and common sense. Extreme positions cater to respective bases but at the expense of us all.

correct as far as i think obama's economic policies will lead to a disaster from which the world may not recover. that is by far the overriding issue for me. both republicans and democrats have been taking turns kicking the can down the road but it looks to me end of the road is near. romney may give us more time.

i want the smallest government and the most individual liberty possible. what government is necessary should be done by the lowest level of government possible.

i am in favor of strong defense but not nation building, not a continual U S military presence throughout the world and certainly not a perpetual state of undeclared war.

there are no good choices in this (or any) election. in my view romney will just do far less damage to the economy but we're pretty much screwed no matter who wins.
