After we get passed the 'Change' garbage and get to what kind of change, a couple of things come to the forefront.
Gas prices:
War in Iraq:
Universal Health-care:
Global Warming:
RKBA:
Supreme Court Justices:
The Middle Class or the Working Poor:

I was looking at the issues brought up above and realized that I am what some of the media-pundits now refer to as the "mushy-middle". I lean right on some issues and left on others. This means that in general I find it hard to be comfortable with any candidate that is out there.

I believe in a woman's right to choose. (LEFT)
I could care less about folks sexual preference. (LEFT)
I don't object to same-sex marriage. I would imagine it is as troublesome as my own past marriages. (LEFT)
I believe that Global Warming is a naturally reoccurring phenomenon. (RIGHT)
I believe that we need Nuclear Energy as a supplement to other forms of energy. (RIGHT)
I do not think that drilling in Alaska or offshore (US) will lead to lower gas prices for the consumer. I do believe that it will simply move some of the oil monies around to other rich folks. (CENTER?)
I believe in the Individual RKBA and the responsibility to put a check on a non-responsive US Government. (RIGHT)
I believe in the need for Universal Health Care/Socialized Medicine. (LEFT)
I haven't got a clue how to make the point above work. (CENTER?)
I am firmly against the war in Iraq as totally unnecessary. (LEFT)
I am firmly for the war in Afghanistan as totally necessary. (IGNORED BY BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT)
I believe that both the Democrats and the Republicans (and I do not mean the general populace, but the hierarchy of these parties) do not have the best interests of the Middle Class in mind. I feel that they would rather see the Middle Class fade into obscurity. (LIBERTARIAN?)
I believe that the two-party system is perfect for the politicians of the US. It allows one party to benefit by perpetuating poverty in the US, and the other party to perpetuate less-government (meaning less interference with Corporate interests) in the US. (CONSPIRACY THEORY~!)
