Vietnamizing Iraq, Iraqicizing Vietnam

5. Regarding the GOP representative from your state

In a functional two party system, areas of common agreement can be found and acted upon. It's not necessary for every issue to be a matter of a complete ideological package in total opposition to the ideology on the other side of the aisle. For that matter, even within a Democratic Party that started acting like a real Democratic Party, there would still be disagreements on some issues.

When it comes to voting, it's nearly impossible to find a candidate you agree with 100% all the time -- but that doesn't necessarily amount to a choice of the lesser evil (which, unfortunately, we have a lot of now). I wouldn't automatically vote against a candidate who was "pro-life" but I will continue to vote against every GOP candidate for national office until the Republican Party looks a lot more like Eisenhower than Ted Cruz.
