America is a moderate country. We want government to leave us alone. We want to keep the money we earn, and we want government to stay out of our personal lives. The vast majority of us work very hard for the money we earn. We are mostly generous people who will help those in our communities that need help. Most of us think abortion is the last worst choice a woman can have to make but it should be a decision she makes after consulting her doctor and if she believes, talking to her creator. I also think that a large minority of us believe that two consenting adults should have the right to enter into a relationship with eachother and call it whatever we want to call it. Most of us know that the health of our soul is not a governmental concern but a private one, that some choose to share with their spiritual community. Most of us do not want a government that is too far left or too far right. One that believes that so long as an individual's actions do not infringe upon the rights of others, then NO ONE should have anything to say about. To paraphrase Jefferson, So longs as it does not pick my pocket nor break my leg, who am I to care what another does with their life. That is who I believe most americans are, and any leader or party that strays to far from that does so at the peril of their position.
