in washington almost nobody speaks for the majority of voters. you are either a libertarian zealot controlled by the banks talking about cutting entitlement. or worse you are a deck trust fund socialist. what there is not is a caucus that represents from most americans are. fairly traditional on the social issues. imagine a politician who wanted to make your health care cheaper but was not excited about partial birth abortion and respected the nuclear family but was willing to take your side against credit card companies bleeding you dry at 35% interest. would you vote for somebody like that? of course you would. who wouldn't? that candidate will be elected in a landslide.
