I am no authority or scholar on this subject, but I cannot help but notice that defining people as either republican or democrat actually affects the ways these people think and react to eachothers ideas. It seems to me the only real conservatives and liberals are the far left and far right. Those in between who share many ideals and beliefs and are open minded enough to talk and debate rationally, really should not be called rep or lib, because it causes seperation between them as soon as they do. Is there room for a party in between republicans and democrats, or should they just be called the better, nameless americans? I would like to think of myself as fitting into this group. I mean, I hear people like Sean Hannity on the radio talking about far lefts and far rights, yet he consistently insults all ranges of the left, which to me makes him a far right. Do you understand what I'm saying? Isn't this bipartisan?

I do agree that these labels do end over the top by people in the our local and federal govt. Yes they seem to be way far right or left... this is the directly why I, in the early 1990's -I had then re-registered from democrat to independent.. but the quickly independents were their own party as well.
I know am "unenrolled" as to my party choice because of the very point your making.. that thankfully I am open minded enough to realize there could be some compromise to these party's differences.. outlooks.. goals..
So I have voted since I was old enough to - in any party I wanted to..
But yes I want to also agree and have witnessed several so called republicans, liberals.. getting all upset at each other over the fact both assume the other is far left or right.. I see this in the media.. and in this small time government of my town of less than 5,000 residents.
very good point you are attempting to show people..
lets hope that more people realize that there could be a middle ground.

yes, I feel that you shouldn't just be republican or a democrat. You should vote for the person and what they stand for and do your research. That's the problem they grow up there daddy says I'm a republican so they do the same and don't even know what they are voting for.

did you hear the second part of the NPR's Talk of the nation on this very research? brain scans were made of people watching or hearing the same information. i encourage you or anyone to visit the npr site and listen to a Clinical testimony of bipartinism. i agree, people will still eat juck food nomatter how many zits it gives them.
