What a profound statement of how effective the political machine has become. I try to stay out of any political discussions at any time. This string however, has raised my hackles. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my confusion.

When did this nation change to 'parties of opposition' from 'united we stand'?
When was the last time a president was elected as opposed to buying the office?
Why do people abandon all reason and simply vote and promote the party line at the first sign of opposition?

Okay, I don't want to be rude and exceed the accepted 3 question limit so I'll simply state my view.

When we set aside individual thought and indulge in 'group think' it is a disservice to ourselves and everyone around us. As citizens it is our duty to question what our government does and says. It is our duty to demonstrate opposition to those ideas we do not agree with. It is our duty to be heard and seen. WE ARE NOT subjects of the government, WE ARE citizens of the greatest nation on Earth and our government is in service to us. The governments sole duty is to represent us to the rest of the world. To the rest of the world we are all currently Douche bags. I don't really care for how the government has represented me in my life time. I don't really care for the division created in our nation. I do believe the only way we will ever have good representation in this nation is to remove money from government and return it to the people along with the power it embodies.

Oh, and NO politician, regardless of party or intent needs to be talking to any one under 18 years old without direct parental supervision.
