Abortion is touchy and I'm staying away from it.
Immigration shouldn't be an issue at all, people are coming in illegally and using tax funded programs when they aren't even Americans. It would be like me going to Canada for a medical procedure because it's free up there. I'm sure it happens and isn't right and needs to be stopped.
The best part is the Republican party use to be about less taxes, smaller government control on people. But now it's like the total opposite, they want to control your sex life and intrude on crap.
I'm ashamed sometimes to be a registered Republican.

I completly agree with you. The party has been hijacked by the Christian Right. Maybe they have left to join the Tea party but not as long as the tea party runs under the GOP banner. I expect to see that line between the two grow in the next two years as they now have to legislate rather than just say no. What would really help the system is a third party though.
A perfect example of that is I would vote for a Mcain in 2000 but not Mcain in 2010.
Obama is about as centrist as Reagan where are those voters now?
If the Reaganites would come to the Dems the Dems could be more forceful on the illegals.
