In reading the posts the last couple of days- everything is about voting the Gay issue or the Abortion issue--Are they really that big a Political Issue in everyones voting area?

Reason I ask that is, around my little area, they are one of the lower issues on the political spectrum...Doesn't matter if its a church social group, barroom corner, coffee shop, or the senior citizens--other issues take much more precedent- including the Ag issues, Healthcare, the economy, taxes and the deficit, the Iraq war, and the biggest for the last few years has been the corruption in state and federal government, politicians, and business.....Is it just me and little Podunk Montana or are they really that big an issue in your area :???:

I guess this area is much more of a live and let live area- if it doesn't affect me, I'm not going to worry about...Maybe we're mostly all closet Libertarians up here :wink: - reason the vote can swing from heavy support for a Democrat- to heavy support for a Republican in another race--mostly depending on the person....

And we do have Gays here- and Lesbians...I know of at least 2 ranch wives that left their husbands and ran off with their Lesbian lovers--I know of several Gays that you could sit and talk to for days and never know they were gay-- one is a prominent business owner, another co-owns one of the largest ranch's that includes holdings in Montana/SD/Wyo...Another was in my church study group until he died...

Same with abortion- many here have the same Libertarian attitude I have that it is not a government issue- Its a medical, family, God and moral value issue...
