The line between Democrats and Republicans is so fine these days that it's practically doesn't exist.

Oh I agree, but I'd rather vote for a viable candidate who represents me on MOST OF the issues I feel are MOST important and pressing. I vote for candidates based on the issues, and Democrats tend to be the ones to uphold the same views as I do on issues I find most important. Does this make sense? I hate to throw the baby out with the bathwater, and condemning Democrats to oblivion because they are not as stringent on each and every issue as you would like for them to be seems counter-productive and not very pragmatic. Seriously, who would you have rather seen in the White House: Kerry or Bush? And please be reasonable in your answer; absolutes get us nowhere.
