It is interesting on my way to Mansfield today I heard a little bit of Limbaugh and he was talking how there are several articles coming out that point to the partisanship and how people have never stuck closer to their beliefs and are becoming more polarized. I didn't hear it all and he didn't say much about it, but it was the most interesting thing he had to say in a very long time.

Of course according to him the Conservatives have never moved and Liberals are so mad that they lost power that they are the ones polarizing.

He did say Rove was right and started to quote Rove but stopped REAL FAST.

As I have stated in this thread and others, it goes from leadership down and neither side trusts nor is willing to compromise. Why?

Because those on the right who do try to compromise find themselves attacked by the Right and possibly out of a job (IE Voinivich and Dewine). McCain is the only one that gets away with it because he has such a following. They tried, I remember Limbaugh used to skewer the man and talk about how he might be nuts from being a POW. But it didn't succeed.

Those on the Left when they try get burnt. How many times do we have to hear how Kennedy wrote the Education bill only for it to be purposefully underfunded?

The Right seems to be ok with attacking the Left calling us Nazis, commies, whackjobs and so on. YET, when someone from the Left tries to the Right cries and feigns innocence.

The Right couldn't stop attacking Clinton over any move he made, yet when the Left so much as questions a Bush move, they are attacked, their patriotism questioned and the Right does everything to smear and change the subject or warp it.

Newsweek was forced to appologize because of the story they ran about Gitmo and the Right demanded that it was wrong and lies...... and yet within 2 weeks other reports came out from other sources (not all biased to the Left) and the Pentagon never denied the flushing of Korans and abuse in Gitmo.

The Right now uses Gitmo as a joke and says the world is against us.

Now I do have a serious question for the right........... after 9/11 every country in the world offered to help and do what they could but between then and now they seem to distrust us and are against us...... my question is.... what changed??????

The Right is so power hungry instead of working to change laws they go after the one branch that so far has been neutral and they cannot control as of yet, the Judicial. They are claiming how far off the Justices THEY put in are.

There is no doubt in my mind the Right works to divide so that they can keep power. When your party's prominent figures do not debate, do not argue facts, incite hatreds and even say they refuse to listen to anything the Left has to say, you cannot tell me they are working to truly better the country and bring us all together as Americans.

This all trickles down, especially when you have people like Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly and even the politicians egging their followers on to literally hate anyone with differing viewpoints. Who do the Dems have that can be heard everyday nationally doing the same thing????? NOONE.... Dean may get blurbs every so often, but the Right get to pound EVERYDAY with no competition.

You go to a party and you act like a king and demand everyone do as you tell them and you'll find yourself isolated and probably kicked out real fast..... that is what the Right is doing not only to the Left but to the rest of the international community...... and yes, it will be what destroys us..... because we are no longer looking at each other as brothers and fellow American citizens equal under government, law and God, but we see each other now as left or right and if you are on the wrong side you are hated and bullied.

Is that truly what America is about? Not understanding each other, not showing each other respect and trying to work together but out to destroy those who in our minds are now our enemies because they have differing viewpoints and ideas.

If that is what America has come to....... then perhaps I need to move to a BETTER MORE TOLERANT NATION.
