We don't currently have a political party that lives up to its platform because only 30% of the people who can vote do so.
It won't change until the majority of citizens force it to.

CK, some of your points are good, some of them are bad. While you may view those "morals" as being good, to some they created a living nightmare for their entire lives! Think about women for example. They were always told they had to stay in the home and raise the children because it was their moral obligation. They weren't allowed to have jobs to support themselves and thus were forced to rely on men inorder to survive.

That would be the more liberal parties, such as the democrats. Ever listened to some of the more famous republicans speak on the floor of Congress before? I know for a fact that Strom Thermon(sp?) hates jews, homosexuals, women in the work place, and even to some extent blacks. These aren't made up, these are things he has actually said while speaking to Congress! There are other republicans who hold much of the same views as Thermon. These are the guys who have been in there for over 20 years! Do we really want such old, outdated "morals" in our government?

It has been proven through several psychological studies that children who's parents both work, end up having far more issues then those which their mother (or father) stays home. Women may want to liberate themselves, etc, and I'm all for equal wages, but you can't tell me that this has brought more of a positive change then a negative one.
As far as equal opportunities, that is definately republicans (I'm sure there are plenty of moderates on both sides but that is beside the point). What liberals want is equality of OUTCOMES, which almost always involves disenfranchising one group in favor of another. Here is an example. We all want blacks and whites to have equal opportunity to go to college, right? Well, republicans will say "colleges may not base admittions on race", where as liberals will say "colleges MUST enroll a certain number of minorities, because it is only fair". Liberals don't want equal opportunity, they want minorities to have an advantage.

I will side with you on the whole "affermative action" thing. I never did think it was fair, for either party. It just reinforces that idea that one group is inheritly weaker than the other and needs protection. So, hell has just frozen over. I have just agreed with CK.

Yeah, it was pretty discouraging when someone (that just happens to be African-American) who had lower SAT scores than me, a lower class rank, a lower GPA, and almost no curricular activities gets a full scholarship (merit, not need-based) to a university that offered me less than 1/2 of that. Anything where other people undeservingly get hand-outs at someone else's expense strikes me as entirely ridiculous.

Sir? May I recommend I load myself into the reverse-thrust tubes and you use my body as decoy-fodder? This will, of course leave me splattered across deep space and unable to complete today's laundry, for which I apologise in advance.
