We need to get rid of political parties in America.

I have never seen so much hate speech between people who call themselves "democrat" and people who call themselves "republican."

Of course, our country being the juggernaut that it is, will not see the dissolution of political party banter until our country (regrettably) fails.

With my beliefs and standards I hold to in life, I myself tend to vote more conservative and aid conservative causes more so than liberal counterparts. This is not to say that I am a die hard Republican. I am somebody who does not think President Bush did an excellent job during his presidency, but when I sit back and think on it, I can't think of a recent president I would rather be in his position. If president Clinton has the ability to, and won another term, based on his 8 years in the white house, I believe he would have handled things similarly to president GW Bush. It's difficult to say what Obama would have done, but people upset at Bush's spending habits (and perhaps rightly so) seem to turn a blind eye to our current president's spending habits...(hint, they've been just as bad, and that's being generous)

Yes, these are the men who are in the forefront, who have that executive power, but we forget that there is an army of congressmen and congresswomen behind these men writing bills, voting bills, and spending money right along side and behind the presidents. So WHAT is with the mudslinging? It's to the point where you can't talk politics with another American without the potential for somebody's blood to start boiling.

My opinion on the matter is to shut it and start praying about it. Our leaders, be they religious, God fearing men and women or not, need our prayers just as much as people without Jesus need Him, even if THEY don't know it. I was not a fan of President Obama being sworn in as a senator, and I sure as heck wasn't excited about him being sworn in as president, but by golly he IS our president, and we need to pray for him.

My husband and I are totally "bugging" about the political state of our government. It's a mess, and there are more holes in it than a slice of swiss cheese. Realistically, how can it be patched any more? Our country is full of cracks and holes, and we are going to come to a breaking point eventually, and yet all I see and hear are Republicans saying liberals are idiots and Liberals saying Republicans are stupid, etc. This type of problem solving didn't work in elementary school, it's not going to work now. HELL-O!!!!
