DATELINE: LENGTH: Short
It seems our government and our American citizens have done just that. We have started our own Cold War! The Democrats might introduce a great plan for economic recovery, and will it get voted in? Of course not, if the Republicans have anything to do or say about it.
If the Republicans find a solution for economic recovery, will it be adopted? Of course not, as long as the Democrats have anything to say about it.
It appears that we Americans are up against a brick wall. Let us try something new. Let's take out all of the donkeys and elephants out of government and do what we should have done years ago: replace them with intelligent human beings who will work together for a better and stronger America.
There are many good men and women in our government, but I believe they have lost focus on why they were elected. It was not to support their own political party, it was to serve America and to ensure prosperity in our future.
We have a chance to redeem ourselves in November. Let's not vote Republican, Democrat, Conservative or for any other party. Let's vote for a better future and put the right people in office regardless of their political party. If we show we do not care about political parties, just maybe they will start to wise up.
