I think dem voters tend to swing back and forth more since they don't vote blindly by religion or other beliefs.

Repubs CRY OUT against gay rights in the election. Well looky looky. They cry out against child abuse and ask 'WHERE ARE THE VALUES?' Again they're no different. They just know the push points and the voting patterns.

And they fight dirty.

Don't even get me started about the war...

There is a division in American politics because the republicans have pushed it this far. To win. To make profit and earn jobs. Not for the country. Not for values. To win.

And lastly there is a division because of religious fanaticism. And if you think I mean just muslim, then you better wake up.

All in all the U.S. is losing moderation and free thought and it's becoming increasing polarised. And one side is playing that.

You are 100% right, this won't be as damaging as it could (should?) be. (Along with all the other stuff in the last 2 years) Not because the repubs are doing anything right though. Not that they are even keeping there own promises, helping the country, OR NOT OUTRIGHT LYING ABOUT THE MAJORITY OF THEIR POLICIES.

There is a significant number of people in the states blinded by religion and the 'partisan war'. It's only getting worse.
I'm wondering how you justify generalizing about Republicans but not Democrats?
