It’s a shame that both political parties have adopted a
“Divide and Conquer” attitude towards attaining power. History has proven that a “unite and prosper”
philosophy is much better for the nation.
The media seems to revel in this fray as they have the liberals
convinced that conservatives believe in “I’ve got mine, screw you”, and the conservatives convinced that liberals
only want to expand government giveaways.
Those who have not partaken of
either the red or the blue cool-aid tune out politics in order to lead a life
not driven by negatives.
We should remember that election campaigns are a republic’s
method of employment interviews. We
generally don’t hire people who badmouth the employer. We also avoid hiring employees that spend
their interview blaming others and calling them names. We do hire those that talk about what they
are going to do to bring value and also have a track record of doing what they
say. The job description of
representative includes taxing, spending, and compromising. Those that claim they will not partake in one
or more of these activities should not be considered as a serious
candidate. We can only get rid of all
this negativity if we as voters don’t fall for it. America has always been about working with
those that are different from us. We can
better solve problems if we look at them from several viewpoints and this won’t
happen until we listen to each other again. This will happen only if we replace that
single issue that’s important to us with a look at the real integrity of the
candidate. Please vote with wisdom and
not anger.
