It's really tough. I'm still registered as a Republican because I agree with the ideas of limited federal government and heavy defense spending. But the Republican party has become so vitriolic that it's hard to have any sort of dialog.

The middle needs a new party. Both parties in our two-party system have cut out the middle. I'd like to see more voting for independents really. I small bloc of independent senators and congressman would help to force the parties to cater to the middle again. Also it'd help break a lot of the political deadlock that has become to commonplace these days.
