have much to offer...I have no trouble supporting the conservative view of small efficient government, states rights, balanced budgets, personal responsibility, free markets....etc...and I support the liberal view that the gov needs to provide a safety net for the less fortunate... and needs to regulate the markets to protect the consumer, that children in particular need to have health care and a head start in Public schools...I think we all agree on some core issues like public health and safety, a strong national defense, and protecting the enviroment, a stable financial system....etc... no one "side" is 100% right or wrong...that the Congress needs to act in the Public Intrest rather than the special intrest....I somethimes think we have a nation of 9 year olds screaming at each other.....see ya...
