...a kind and thoughtful person. You strive to always do the right thing and treat others the way you wish to be treated.
Sorry, nope. Haven't seen one of them in years.
To your main point, you are what's wrong with politics today. Just like the stupid fucking attack ads for my local Senate race, you guys constantly bray that if your candidate fails to win the election then it will be the "Downfall of Western Civilization" or some shit.
Yet in the 20 or so years I have seen this rhetoric amped up, our country somehow manages to continue existing.
I contend that it is the Right at fault, more so than the Left - that has driven our country into deeper partisanship than it has seen in it's entire history. (Barring maybe the Civil War)
I kept saying to everybody during the race that attack ads don't convince me at all. The way I see it, when you attack your opponent's position it shows me that you don't actually have an argument at all, or you would be making that instead.
When one side is down to platitudes and sound bites they clearly have nothing more to contribute and have no plan to actually address any of the nation's problems and move forward. The GOP is an obsolete, obstructionist "party of no" at this point. A knee-jerk reaction of arguing against whatever the Democrats want regardless of logic, decency, or even reality itself does not constitute a political posistion.
Sorry guys, got stuck in "rant mode" again.
