Tell you what, everyone:
Let's see if we can find BROADER brushes with which to paint the folks with whom we disagree politically.
THAT is the way to come together and solve our nation's ills!
Right, Fox News?
Right, MSNBC?

I don't think that it's any secret which side of the line I fall on, politically. That said, while politics has hardly ever been a gentleman's game, [naughty word removed]'s been getting worse and worse since the advent of the 24-hour news cycle and the need to fill that space with commentary and conjecture. On both sides.
People (on both sides) need to watch their news with a critical eye and not gobble up whatever it is that they are being spoon fed.

I see a lot of regurgitation of pat partisan quotes and talking points in this thread and all I can do is shake my head. The puppet masters have won. Doesn't matter which puppet masters they are, but they have won. It appears that we have lost the ability to think for ourselves.
Yay, us!
