In the past 15 years a hatred as been growing on both sides like a insidious form of cancer. This goes far beyond any political partisanship. It is reaching the point of irrationality. Both Democrats and Republicans are equally guilty. We have become a nation of political parties instead of a nation of Americans.
I fear this cancer will destroy the country we all love.
It is time to mend the rift between the parties and work together.
Working together there are no problems we can't solve.
Separate there is nothing we can solve.
It is time to repair.
This is this tired old man's hope.

A great hope! Problem is, it may be irrepairable. The crazyness of both sides forces each to their corners. I only choose a side because it is a side that does the least damage to the core Constitution or least damage to the Bill of Rights. That is my only criteria in voting. Each day these two docs get slowly chewed away, and some day, there will be nothing left..... Yet we all sit idly by. Pathetic.
