I may be beating a dead horse here, but oh well. What is interesting is how the positive achievements of a president or party gets ignored. Bush worked hard at eradicating malaria and other insect born diseases in Africa by providing sleeping nets for people. Laura Bush was active in the middle east educating people about breast cancer and especially fostering education for girls/women. Since Bush is so often maligned, this is just a positive example, I am not taking a position on this.My point is this: both political parties have been responsible for increasing government spending and growing the size of government since Teddy Roosevelt. I would be happy to post web sites to substantiate the data if necessary. Both parties have gotten us into wars, while at the same time both parties have provided us with security as a nation second to none. The problems we face today need to best thinking we can come up with, both economically and politically. This constant personal bashing I see here goes way beyond political argument, it gets mean spirited and personal. One would hope this divisiveness and partisan wrangling would lighten up after the election. Obviously not. The cable media is as revved up as ever spewing out their biased opinion and rancor. “We the people” are the ones that win or lose here. It would be nice if we could see the people insisting from their representatives (blue and red) for tangible compromise and solutions, not the continual bickering and political positioning. On these pages? I think if we just tried to present facts and substantial information here without the insults might be a good start…
