Some guy told me when I lived in Des Moines Iowa that the only things you find in the middle are yellow lines and skunks. So his comments stopped our conversation because it was obvious that this guy was so singled minded that any discussion seeking understanding was a dead end.

It is not to stay that any of us should compromise our core beliefs. In fact without those beliefs people would lose their way.

I try and base my opinions on content. As to the Obama's economic policies I base on opinions on their effectiveness and not by idealogy. For example Obama's recent job plan proposal continues to be based on his idealogy..That is take a chunk of money from here andplace it there. Nothing he proposed contributes to the creation of growth or wealth.

What I am saying is that Democrat and Republicn can be misleading labels.
