It seems to me the political divide between so-called red/blue states is widening...will we ever stop the bickering and put our country "on the same page"? The fundamental difference that I see is that part of the country wants the constitution to be the law of the land, like our forefathers intended. Another swath of the country wants religion to be the law of the land, like in Iran. Maybe we should seriously think of splitting the country into either 2 seperate countries...or 2 seperate autonomous regions that are still in one "commonwealth". What are your views; it seems we are getting nowhere fast on our present path of political discourse.
Honestly, I doubt it, the divide is very wide. So, the blue gets the coasts, the red can have a the stuff in the middle...fair enough to me (joking!)
Divorce on one condition - the blue staters who ran to the red states for a cheaper cost of living and lower taxes, but kept their blue state mentality, have to leave. It still hasn't dawned on many of them that their blue state mentality is why they had to flee those blue states.

Divorce? Who is it that benefits most from this alienation? Our wonderful politicians. They will never want to give up the assured power that they hold. If more people would just stop giving blanket approval to some pos because he/she is 'one of theirs' we as a country just might stand a chance.

If you see the democrats as "preserving" the constitution of the United States and the republicans as desiring to govern the land with religion, your perception is severely skewed on both accounts.

I think your answer is in the responses thus far.
