Response to Grambo's 'single-issue voter' post

I see the problem as people are reflecting their political party's view rather than their party reflecting their view. The party picks a solid stance on an issue and their stance has to (unfortunately) do one or two things. First, it has to derive from conservative/liberal thoughts so that it can be in accord with the respective party's people. To clear that assertion up, I do not mean that the party must reflect it's people's views, but that the party's stance must take little convincing to that party's people. I believe that the party must be able to present their stance minimally at a threshold; a threshold in which they can easily usher in many of their people by altering truths and making empty promises. Second, but not always true, the party's views must oppose the other major party's stance on the subject. This puts both major political parties in a horrible competition where sometimes the majority of our countries people get screwed with the minority voters' party taking rule, i.e. the 2000 presidential election. I really hate these strict and restraining rules of politics. Rules that stem from old, white male run government. Rules that did not include people of color, immigrants and women.

Obama is reaching out to voters who are seeing right through this type of old political system. For example, not many people believed that Obama could defeat Clinton in the primaries but he did. Clinton loss because she held onto her staunchly 'democratic' morals in a race that was being flooded with new voters... with new ideals. Near the end of her run, she began altering some of her views to appeal to these voters. Unfortunately for her, it was little too late.

This system is soon on its way out the door with progressive politicians such as Obama; progressive in his take on the system not necessarily his views.

The only positives I have about this system is that it makes for good television.
