Perhaps if we were to scrutinize all politicians (even the ones on our side) there may be accountability reintroduced to DC. And then, we just may see improvements.
You bring up a very valid point....I'm not slamming Obama because I did vote for him and I'm glad I did...so far,BUT the blue/red game was played on me as well as most of the country.Hell,we help them play it on here nonstop.

What truth was that? From my observations, what he typically injects is diatribe...

How many "first moves" does Obama have to make and see rebuffed before concluding that the Republicans are still stuck on stupid and have no actual interest in cooperation at all?

How many lies and misrepresentations pulled straight from the disinformation media do we have to see posted here before realizing that the right-wingers are married first to their bizarro ideology and have the welfare of the nation far down the list below that?

Maybe if Ron Paul screamed as loudly and as violently as our benevolent Congressional members, he might be considered "sane". Might help if he had some kiddie porn or offered to sell his congressional seat to the highest bidder. He might even get some more press time and possibly open himself up for advancement if he were a tax cheat.
