Sadly, I don't think this is going to change soon, as the moral issues
dividing the two parties are so stark.


see that's your problem Jay you are naive. Neither party has any morals,

and
they are so united in the one thing they have in common, getting into

power.

I didn't say the "party's moral issues are stark" -- I said "the moral
issues dividing the two parties are so stark."

The parties have no morals. However, the moral issues (abortion; taxes;
marriage; stem cell research; etc.) that separate the parties are in areas
that don't lend themselves well to compromise, since there are usually only
two diametrically opposed choices for each issue.

But there are plenty of people in each party that disagree with the party
line on one or more of these issues. Cheney's stance on the marraige
amendment is a particularly interesting example. There are plenty of
Republicans who wish President Bush would leave his religion at church. I
know Rush Limbaugh fans who believe the second amendment is outdated. And
there are Democrats who are against abortion. And for school vouchers. (Put
me at the top of the school voucher list)

While the party lines are didactic and polarized, the populations within
them are much more diverse.

In some ways yes. But on the absolutely crucial issue (to me anyway)
of the growth of government, the Reps. and Dems. stand united: bigger
government is good. Dems. want to pay for it with higher taxes. Reps.
want to pay for it with higher budget deficits. Pick your poison.

Good point. Assuming this is the critical issue, you really are screwed.
