I don’t have a lot of patience for this “can’t we all just get along” crap.

No, we can’t. As the other guy just said to you, this is what democracy looks like. You don’t like knock-down, drag-out fights in Congress and among the electorate over defense, taxes, social policy, education, energy, and the environment? Too bad.

Move to Venezuela where Chavez is busy putting the kibosh on every flicker of dissent.

Besides that, I don’t think for a minute that the Left really believes in all that “reconciliation” crap. If they did, they’d lead by example, but as the comments Cassy quoted demonstrate, they’re a bunch of whiny, vulgar, immature little morons.

And Mace, you so-called “moderates” are just as bad. At least the Left has something it’s willing to fight for and get exercised about. You linguini-spined yaps in the middle are equally deserving of my contempt.

But you’re more than willing to come on here and badmouth us. Sounds good…

“I am however, certain that we need to work smarter and together, if we wish to move this country forward.”

Ah yes, the “if we only come together under the Dear Leader, His Messiahness Obama, we’ll live in utopia” argument. The reason why we have a democracy is that we’re supposed to have disagreement. If we didn’t, well, we’d live in a dictatorship, wouldn’t we?

“This country MUST move forward or the Chinese will become a ‘Super Japan’ economically and we will no longer be in a position to choose.”

Ah, but in what direction? One where the government will be in complete control of everything or one where private enterprise is still available? As for the Chinese, my belief is that the “choice” of electing Democrats will hasten their ascendence into superpower status.

“One thing is for sure, nothing will be accomplished by either party until the hatred and anger stops.”

Well, I can’t say I “hate” Democrats/leftists, but I don’t really like them. Of course, part of that might be stuff that I overhear about us conservatives being subhuman or put into concentration camps because of our beliefs. Yeah, stuff like that kinda puts a dampener on the whole ‘peace, love, dope’ thing.

I strongly believe that the people of the United states should demand ‘micro’ bills that may be easily understood and debated in an intelligent way by all concerned. An example of this would be, the health care bill could have been split into smaller bills that each would have to be self-supporting and practical. Maybe health care reform could have (or be) been broken down to:

1. Corruption in the health care community.
2. Tort reform to aid Doctors.
3. Method of administration (public option? network? nothing at all?)
4. Where will this funding come from.
etc………

This would make the bills much more manageable and easier for the average person to understand and make a rational decision. This would also slow the congress and Senate when attempting to add ‘pork’ to these bills.

I am registered as an unaffiliated. I cringe as much when I read liberal material as I do when I read conservative. I have found that BOTH parties have good ideas. My belief is that at least 95% of Democrats and Republicans are well intentioned and very decent people.

It seems as though, the 5% or so of BOTH parties are going to have their way or no way. The politicians in general should be working towards improving this country for “We the People”. This never seems to happen.

I have been listening to the same clap-trap since the 1960′s. The hard core conservative would like to take the criminals out behind the court house and shoot them and the radical liberals would like to place the 10-time serial killers on probation (and possibly work release). It’s almost as if one group tries to out-stupid the other.

I’m not sure what the answer is, I am however, certain that we need to work smarter and together, if we wish to move this country forward. This country MUST move forward or the Chinese will become a ‘Super Japan’ economically and we will no longer be in a position to choose. One thing is for sure, nothing will be accomplished by either party until the hatred and anger stops. Just my own personal thoughts about the matter.

Thank God the majority of people in Massachusetts are actually “Americans.” There’s hope for this country yet.

From here on out, we obliterate the commies within. No quarter or accommodation. America will be unmistakeably Conservative again, as it has always been (with the exception of the last 20 years).
