It's funny when you listen to Al Franken in interviews. He talks about when he was writing his book, "Lying Liars ....." that he went to Republican friends and asked them what they thought.
He says a majority wouldn't say much about anyone until he got to Ann Coulter. He says every one of them said, "She's a nutcase".
I truly wish someone would tell me how we are a better country when our 2 parties are so busy destroying the other and not doing what we elect them to do.
It boggles my mind.
Of course in Washington's farewell address he talked how partisan politics would destroy our country. Took 200+ years but it looks like the partisan politics not only has destroyed our country but is infecting the rest of the world. Instead of leading by example, we lead by spreading fear and anger and hatred of our country. Instead of having the best of everything (roads, jobs, healthcare, etc.) we have rich corporations determining policy, a president in an unconstitutional war (that every few months he changes the reason for our being there), an educational system that is bankrupt (therefore we cannot train our children for the new jobs that are coming), a standard of living not even in the top 10, the highest infant mortality rate in the developed countries, at least 2/3 of all bridges throughout the country overstressed and needing repaired.
Why can we not work on the problems? WHY CAN WE NOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP THE FUCKING PARTISAN FIGHTING AND ACTUALLY WORK TO MAKE OUR NATION GREAT AGAIN? USE THE ENERGY YOU ARE USING FOR THE HATE AND REPLACE IT WITH COMMON DECENCY AND TRUE PATRIOTISM (THAT IS WANTING TO BETTER YOUR COUNTRY NOT JUST BLINDLY AGREEING WITH YOUR PARTY).
Fucking amazing how people have let the press turn thier focus off the TRUE issues. Aw well when it starts hitting people and the economy collapses and we are lucky to get 20 cents on the dollar at a bank maybe people will see. The only thing saving our asses now are our nukes.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
