divide a country with social issues and do whatever the fuck you want. that's what we're getting. Republicans can do no wrong by conservatives nor can Democrats by liberals.
that's the problem.
People are blinded by their own ideologies, and the politicians are laughing behind doors. Social issues pull at peoples "heart strings." A republican candidate screams, "Anti gay marriage" and all the republicans cream their pants. A democratic candidate screams, "Social welfare programs" and democrats cream their pants.
Although social issues are extremely important for a productive society, it becomes an issue when they are used to divide and conquer, instead of bring together. Politicians know this, and use it every single time! Why hasn't the average voter caught on yet?
