What is the difference between a moderate Republican and a moderate Democrat?

Very, very little. In fact so little that they all need to be replaced. The Democrat and Republican parties appear to be so much alike that the only way we can do as Thomas Jefferson suggested: "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." "But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them (Freedom, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness) under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security." is to vote to replace long term career politicians out of office and replace them with fresh, new, young faces that will as a first priority institutionalize solid term limits.

The OLD DOG career politicians, including Obama, are too slow and destructive to Freedom and Liberty to be allowed to remain in office.

I'm a moderate dem. While I agree with "Dr. Zaius" up there, I'll go further. I believe in giving a hand up to those who need it especially to single and young mom's and their babies.

I believe in giving those under payed and underemployed a hand too but not for ever. I don't mind paying for after school programs, job training and health care for the sick and poor. There are way too many that get lost in the cracks and forgotten about.

They are the ones the right like to villianize. I am pro-choice, in any circumstance, I also believe in adoption but too many of those kids are kicked from foster home to foster home and in and out of orphanages. It isn't right how they are neglected by the very people who insist they be born.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
