Inside Timmee’s Mind Tim speaks his mind on various subjects. Not for those that are easily offended.
Dear Mr. President, and Congress…
As a layman, I need help in understanding what has happened to our political system.
Our politicians have become so sharply divided between Democrats/Republicans that they have left their common sense at the door. It seems that a lot of the political disagreements come about due to the party affiliations of those involved, and not because of any solid reasoning. Dems say X, so the GOP MUST say Y, and vice versa. And now, since we have a Democratic President and Congress, the GOP have no chance of getting anything from their agenda passed. A few years ago, the roles were reversed.
Why can’t we put idealogy and dogma aside, and just fix things? Why must the GOP sound like poor losers? Why do the Dems bully their way through things just because they have a majority?
IMHO, we need a truly Independant, Moderate President that doesn’t toe either party’s line, and that truly makes decisions based on his conscience and morals. Perhaps that would cause BOTH political parties to realize that we are in a changing world, and that neither side has all of the answers.
