Don't you think there is too much hate in American politics? It seemed to pick up with "Clinton haters", then "Bush haters", and now "Obama haters". Democrats and Republicans hate each other so much now that it doesn't matter how good someone's proposal is. Meanwhile, the politicians just care about looking good to their constituents and getting re-elected by getting so much pork passed for themselves. And unfortunately even our recent presidents are more concerned about their side/party winning and the other side/party losing on every issue.
No one seems to care about the common good and each "side" just tears apart anything from the other side (which I know is good to some extent, but not just for shutting "the other side" down no matter what).
I'm not a hater, I'm not a Democrat or Republican, and I'm not a conservative or liberal. I'm just for things that make sense (although I know that is in the eye of the beholder). There is something to like and dislike that every politicaion does. Can't people support the things they like, no matter who is proposing it, rather than be completely against anything from someone that isn't under their label?
The only solution to this "we hate them and will shut them down" syndrome seems to be to get third and fourth parties stronger into politics. Or do you really want to just be a hater and one-sided, stopping the other side no matter what the merits of the proposal are? Do you really want to support stalemates and not getting anything done while big companies stomp on us? Do you really want to continue to have the worst and most expensive health care coverage of any developed nation?
It's time for people to get past their hate for the other person or the other side, and think and support things that need to be done, regardless of who proposes it.
