The media often portrays this country as being divided down the middle: polarized into two parties that have irreconcilably different sets of values and political opinions.  At outragedmoderates.org, we're a little skeptical of that analysis.  While there are certainly divisive issues, a majority of Americans basically agree on a number of core political values. 

Four things that America agrees on are our need for open and honest government, our interest in protecting the American people's health, our expectation that the Commander-in-Chief use America's military forces responsibly, and our unequivocal requirement that the Executive Branch defend the U.S. Constitution. 

The Bush administration has failed mainstream America; its policies have gone against the majority on all four of these principles.
