This article focuses on an older woman being a moderate voter and that it goes into detail how the moderate politician is a dieing breed. I for one agree with this article and I find it to be very disturbing. I believe that liberals are moving further and further towards the left side while conservatives are moving further to the right. Which scares me quite honestly. I am a moderate republican and I feel I am poorly represented by the republican party. I think America is heading towards socialist ideas and once again that scares. Our government should not be too far left or right and it should be right in the middle of the political spectrum. There are more registered independents than there are democrats or republicans and the independents get represented as a minority and are almost forced to choose a side. I understand that both parties represent different ideologies but they should be moving closer to the middle to represent the greater population rather then moving away from the middle of the spectrum. I just want to see the majority of people being represented to their fullest. Moderates do a great job of understanding both sides and do a great job of working with each other while it takes every once of energy for republicans and democrats to work with one another. Like I said I lean more towards the right but I want to see politicians move towards the middle rather than away from it.
