So far, I've heard a couple of folks who say their biggest hangup with the Republican party has to do with religion - and a little bit about social programs (healthcare and other). I haven't heard much categorically about the Democrat party, except, I guess the general feeling that they're based on larger Federal government.
It's interesting to me that, in theory, Republicans could potentially have a smaller Federal Government if it could be proven that States could effectively handle own their religious issues and social program related issues to the satisfaction of the States' citizens. I'm not sure why the Federal government would be able to handle 50 states' worth of problems if a state can't handle it's own. I mean, economies of scale eventually have a greatly diminished return. A lot of our states are larger than a lot of countries.
