I agree with you, OP, on many of your views and like jamullinstx said, you are not alone.
There are many like-minded people out here that don't believe in the whole Dem/Rep hard line BS. It's like you have to pick a side or you won't get anything.
I blame the media.
It's much like kurt vonnegut once said:
Quote:
"Even crazier than golf, though, is modern American politics, where, thanks to TV and for the convenience of TV, you can only be one of two kinds of human beings, either a liberal or a conservative."
"If you want to take my guns away from me, and you’re all for murdering fetuses, and love it when homosexuals marry each other, and want to give them kitchen appliances at their showers, and you’re for the poor, you’re a liberal. If you are against those perversions and for the rich, you’re a conservative. What could be simpler?"

I don't agree with Vonnegut sometimes, but I can see his point in almost everything.
