So sick of partisanship, politics isn't war.

Because Sarah wants to sell as many books as she can, she doesn't care about the American People any more than she cared about the people of Alaska. Too her its all about money. She knows she's an idiot, she knows that the mass of idiots follow her, because she is an even bigger idiot. What the little idiots that follow her don't understand is, she wants their money. The little idiots are too stupid to realize this.

The false left-right paradigm is used to divide people on purpose. It is a big problem and the country is suffering cause of this.

There is so much hatred in politics these days, I don't understand it. A public servant should be someone of integrity, but there aren't many of those left.

Sarah Palin saying that the governor of Arizona has the testicles that President Obama has? Thats disgusting and rude and does nothing to serve the general populous.

Why is this happening? Why can't people just have a little empathy?

I agree, this extreme polarization makes true politics impossible. Instead of talking about the merits of individual ideas, each side is expected to subscribe to a predetermined set of beliefs. If they waver from the "party line" they a mocked, ridiculed, or called traitors.

The political arena has morphed into a football arena. The only thing that matters is that your side wins at any cost.

Johnson pushed it through, and he was a democrat.
