Moderate Monkeys will eventually pick a side* during each election just like the wing-nut Monkeys do, but... when the election's over, Moderate Monkeys actively look for things to support, as well as things to ream, both sides on. This is how they start the process of shopping their vote for the next election.
This is the thread to admit that 'those guys', whoever in the fuck 'they' are, just might have a reasonable bone in their body.
It's also the thread to 'shame the devil and tell the truth' and 'fess up about a flaw or two that we see in the mirror, whoever in the fuck 'we' are.
It's easy... ass-u-me-ing we're Moderate Monkeys.

Come on Democrats... If you're uncomfortable with the way some Republicans suck Corporate Cock for 'campaign money', and the cronyism in some of the entrenched, status quo protecting unions is o.k. with you, you might not be a Moderate Monkey.
*Unfortunately, some elections are just easier than others to decide on, but that's the subject of another story.... When was the last time YOU switched parties?
Well, I'd be a Moderate. My main interest is Main Street America/the Middle Class. That demographic has been getting really screwed over for quite awhile. The Dems give them lip service but not much else and the GOP is too busy defending the wealthy. So. I'm more than a touch urinated off at the state of both major parties.
I vote for people who can identify in some way or another with my target demographic and who will do something to stop the bleeding of Main Street America/the Middle Class. One of the big qualifiers to get my support is the desire and ability to compromise in a give and take scenario by a candidate. Party label means absolutely nothing to me. Where a candidate stands on the issues (specifically the Middle Class) is by far the determining factor in regards to my vote.
