How tired is everyone of the garbage coming from Washington and how it is covered by the media? I am a middle of the roader that leans a bit to the right. I lean to the right because I find it so difficult to stomach some of the stupidity spewed by left-wingers. Dont get me wrong, I tired of the crap that comes from the right at times as well, however, more often than not, I can at least listen to versions that tip right. When they tip left logic and commonsense seem to disappear. I wish there was someone on the left that was practical that I could listen to however I still cannot find anyone. For the most part the mainstream media tries to remain someplace near the middle with a recognizable lean left. They tend to jump on stories that make right wingers look bad and tend to gloss over the stories about the left wingers. This I believe is what causes the poplularity of people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and the Fox News Network. We are so proliferated by the left leaning media that we seek some kind of balance. Intelligent people listen to both sides and make their own decisions.
Although I know the squabbles between the two parties has existed since the Founding Fathers. Granted they were not the same parties we have now, the divide was there. The often bitter rivalry and literal hatred was possible more so. But in the end, decisions were made for the good of the country and the people. I fear today that we are way beyond the good of the people, and only look at the good of the inflated egos in Washington. Senators and Representatives do not have a realistic grasp of everyday people in America. How can they, they do not live OUR lifestyle. They do not know what it really feels like to struggle. They can claim all they want however their true desires are to push personal agendas no matter the cost. Without a realistic understanding of how WE feel and what we face down here in the “bust my ass” world of “work a day” people, I cannot have confidence that Mr. Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi or Barney Frank has a clue what is right and wrong for US. I would have named a Republican however there does not appear to be anyone in that party that has the “balls” to stand tall. (not that either of the afore mentioned do). Mr. Obama I am more than willing to give you a chance as long as you do not put me and my family at risk from terrorism, economic failure through taxation and give me and my family a chance to exist and thrive. If you lean too far to the left or the right, I am sure the right is not an option, you will certainly fail. I was a teenager when Jimmy Carter was going to fix all our problems, especially the economic problems. He failed miserably and was ousted after one term. Mr. Obama I hope you are smart enough to not listen to the far left or the far right but look out for US from someplace in the middle to protect US now and in the future.
