106. You summed it up. But in the real world, away from political forums, where

people in general are less and less concerned about party politics. It's like night and day to the way it was about eight years ago. Back then there was a clear divide in the country based on party politics, even among families. I am so grateful that I did not stop talking to members of my family, as many people did, over politicians. They are not worth it as we learn every day.

Democrats supporting and endorsing Republicans like Christie, while we are lectured about who WE should support. I guess they want us to put them in power so they can decide, rather than we little people, what is best for the country, WHO is best for the country. I have never seen people more angry AND more in agreement across party lines about the state of our government.

Republicans I used to be unable to speak to without getting angry, are now not so willing to defend their party and more reasonable regarding issues. And Dems who formerly would not listen to one bad word about their party, have given up in many cases and are not willing to defend things they simply cannot defend anymore.

Maybe there's a silver lining somewhere? But for now it is difficult to find as we are having the same old DLCers pushed down our throats as if doing the same thing over and over again is going to get a different result. It isn't and now we know it. So I keep asking, what do we do about it?
