Majority of Americans think the GOP is too extreme

[CapnAwesome]

I really hate hearing everyone say "Both parties are the same!" It's a sign of blatent stupidity. I mean, just look at the platforms of both parties, presented side by side, and you'll see what I mean. Fact is, I have a lot to gain if employment or housing discrimination against GLBT people is passed. The Republicans ain't gonna do that for me. I have a lot to gain if Pell Grants continue and the Republicans want to do away with that. I get health care from a center that's partially funded by grants which, again, the Republican party puts at risk. And those are just a few of the issues I can think of now. Part of the reason I vote Democrat is because, given their track record, I'm confident that their position on future issues will be more in line with my beliefs.

I mean, all that is fine, but what you should be wary of is falling into the thinking that because the democrats support things that make your life better, it doesn't mean they are right on all issues. You seem to give them blanket support for everything just because they (kinda) support a few issues you care about.
