Each issue is its own thing. A person can have views that don't fall neatly on the spectrum, views that piss off the people who ONLY see the 'D' or the 'R' and often fall into shit flinging fury when a candidate of their party has a view that doesn't fit neatly into the platform or zeitgeist of the Party.

We don't need ideology, we need concrete solutions and we need to elect the person with the most, best solutions regardless of other positions we may not agree with or their perceived 'impure' ideology.
