once again partisan politics seems to exist for one purpose nowadays, to divide the public into a never ending disagreement.

I would love to see a discussion that wasn't blues pointing at the reds and vise versa.

subverting the intent of partisan politics and addressing candidates and issues on their merit alone we act as a republic and not a democracy as was the intent of our forefathers.

When we argue among ourselves as to what side is better we do ourselves (as the general public) a disservice.

I think that most people are generally fiscally conservative and socially liberal (to varying degrees of course) but partisan politics play against that by not allowing one without the other.

While we the people draw lines in the sand based on gays in the military and "in god we trust", the real agenda continues to roll on without significant challenge.

What would really turn things in this country around is what the existing government fears the most, nonpartisan unity of the people.
