are you assuming everyone makes good choices while voting? nossy Send a noteboard - 18/10/2010 04:12:53 PM
Because I don't think you can site any complying science to back up your opinion. Science shows that there is a genetic component but that that there is more to it then that. What the more to it is comes down to opinion.

I would rather have a senator I disagree with on why some is gay and evolution then one who I disagree with on spending and taxes. I don’t think government should try and regulate beliefs but I do need them to properly tax and spend. Public perception of social issues will change regardless of what congress does and that is where the real change is taking place. This is not like Civil Rights and public opinion is changing on its own. In the meantime I would like to not run the country into the ground with a bad fiscal policy.


Valid points, but if the pro/con list is tallied up and this is just one more thing... well, you see. I mean, I know people who bussed in to the polls to vote for McCain/Palin because of the abortion issue. It would be nice if the extras didn't determine the elected, but you know.
