Reply #55: I long for the day...

It's going to sound Pollyanna of me -- but I still believe that "real" Repubs and Dems can have intelligent discourse, mutual respect and admiration, and find lots of common ground to work for the good of this country the way the "found fathers" (and mothers) foresaw it -- once shrub and his idiotic corporate-hijacked administration and agenda are removed from the White House.

I was watching Meet the Press this morning with outgoing Senators Don Nickles (R) and Tom Daschle speaking about the current level of partisanship (mostly due to the dividing nature of the shrub's agenda) and they recalled experiences in earlier sessions having both aisles working together.

I'm not calling for a move to the center (in fact, I believe that government works best when there are at least two opposing viewpoints) - I am calling for our Senators and Reps to LISTEN to each other and go have a beer together.
