As we view the mid-term election results and the comments from the leadership of the two major pollical parties, I note that Republicans call Democrats “communists” and Democrats call Republicans “fascists” with increasing frequency. As a nonpartisan voter I have viewed the mainstream of each political party in a different light. Republicans have emphasized free trade, fiscal conservancy and strong defense while Democrats concentrate more on social and kitchen table issues. As a social liberal and fiscal conservative, I support fully the two-party solutions that we enjoyed for years. In recent years the positions of the parties have often drifted further to the extremes and away from the center and the compromises that have kept our country great. We need a reset in Congress from extreme to moderation for the good of the country not some isolated pollical objectives. Compromises are necessary at all levels of government. Think about it when you vote this fall.
