We just need to drop the debates on "moral" (such as abortion, gay rights, "family" value, religion, etc.) issues almost entirely from both platforms and focus more on economic, social, and foreign policy issues.

That is hard for my party.  Easier for the Dems but the Bible belt, deep values, etc are what make up a large portion of our votes.

 

I grew up in the Bible belt, did mission trips with the Southern Baptists and back in the south. I am a Democrat and will likely stay Dem. I voted 4 times for president, so far, and have seen this country change for the worst. Oh, I remember the Reagan years. My dad was fresh out of the military but under Bush 1, he lost his job and was out of work for a year. Then, came the Clinton years. I was making good money under the Clinton years - but what's wild is - I stayed at the same salary during most of the Bush years. I just can't take a chance on this again. I voted Gore/Kerry and after hearing people at Mc rallies calling O a terrorist and palling around with terrorists is totally disrespectful.

When the Dems act like the GOP, I'll just quit voting altogether.
