I have to share an observation from a 77 year old Southern Ohio Democratic party member

Politics have gone from a mostly mature debate on the issues, sometimes becoming heated, to a room full of adults stuck with a bunch of toddlers who are holding the adults hostage. (The toddlers are obviously the Republicans.)

And the Democrats are the adults who refuse to put their foot down and now the toddlers walk all over them.

At 77 that person is a part of the establishment.

One simply has to ask what has the establishment done? One thing they have done is make it so that a home becomes and investment vehicle, and by driving up the cost of housing, has resulted in many homeless people these days.

Plus the number of people in prison....

Then there is romney care which was a republican plan from the 80's.

How about the war budget?

What ever happened to the environment on their watch?

Is it any wonder things are so screwed up?
