You're following the federal political policy that I've been advocating for years.

The public want's a wedge issue? Give it to states to decide. The federal government can concentrate on real issues and bother running on valid platforms that way. I hate seeing national elections getting bogged down on fetus killing and butt sex. Not that they aren't important issues, but they really won't affect the position of the US in the world...

Homosexual marriage? Give it to states. "Under God"? States rights. Abortion? States rights. Et cetera et cetera...

Hear, hear! I completely agree. Nothing is more frustrating than watching politicians pander to the lowest common denominator. Tell voters about how the opposition is going to outlaw abortion or allow gay marriage, and watch how little they care at the polls about things that affect them on a daily basis. The most important things (i.e. economic decisions, foreign policy, budget considerations, etc) are completely ignored by a large segment of the population, and more importantly, they are ignored by politicians running because they aren't devisive and edgy (and because a lot of people are too stupid to understand them).

It's maddening.
