I feel the two issues are very intertwined personally. To say that we aren't divided is just ridiculous. We are in what is essentially a two party system. Your either Republican or Democrat or your vote is worthless. These two parties rarely agree on anything, and half of the things they do stand for are only stood for because they have larger agendas encompassing them. Political moderates such as myself are the ones that suffer. How the hell am I supposed to support stem cell research AND a strong foreign policy?
