This is just my opinion... [View all]

But I believe there is not enough philosophical distance between the two Parties to help voters decide how they want to vote.

In my opinion, Democrats have surrendered too much ground to Republicans on tax policies, on defense spending, on poverty issues, on social equality, on human rights, and even, on the role of government itself.

By doing so, voters have a tougher time making a distinction between the Parties. This is not saying that both Parties are the same. They are not. But, on many issues, there needs to be a more definitive difference between the two Parties so that voters can clearly distinguish between the two. There should be no guesswork.

In my opinion, Democrats should be holding both the House and Senate by huge majorities at the present time. After the disastrous governance of the Republicans, there is no rational or logical reason that they are now holding the House, favored to win the Senate, and have a chance at winning the White House.

I simply do not believe that we would be in this precarious position today if we clearly defined the differences between ourselves and the radical Republicans. Just my opinion.
