You and I are copacetic.  

I dislike the Dems almost as much as the GOP.  The primary reason I usually end up voting for the Dems is because they are less likely to tank the economy and legislate morality.  But voting almost always leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The gov should simply keep our finances in order, run an efficient, appropriately sized and effective military, keep the roads drivable, put out some fires, police our neighborhoods, keep corporate greed in check. But otherwise, please stay the hell out of our lives and certainly stop mucking about blindly just to score a political / ideological "win".
