American politics seems to be limited to reactive, not proactive actions. Whichever party takes the initiative sets the tone for years to come. After 9/11 both parties were pretty much united but it didn’t take long for politics to return to normal. Whatever the Republicans are for the Democrats are against – Zero Tolerance, No Thought Required.
You are correct with the “whatever it takes to get back (or retain) power." I have long thought that the two major – and most minor – political parties have “power” as their first concern, not the welfare of the United States.
Another example is John McCain.
He advertises himself as a "True Conservative", but too often sides with liberal Democrats. His actions as an advocate of trade relations with Viet Nam and his denigration of the POW Families after his return from captivity belies the claim.
There is also a trend I find disturbing among voters. Many Democrats support Hillary because "It's time we had a woman President." Others support Barrack because "It's time we had a Black President." Nothing is said about the issues. It's all about gender and race.
Barrack Hussein has been elevated by our anti-war liberal news media to rock star status - as such, things like issues and negative comments have no place.
He's a STAR!
He's also young looking, black, a Democrat, and an uber lib - and that’s why our media elevated him to rock star status. As his supporters excited proclaim, “It’s time we had a Black President!” That’s all that matters.
