It really is just on and on and on in a circular discussion at this point. And it's good it's that time and eventually we can all go vote and be done with it. My hope is simply that whoever wins out this time, be it Obama or Romney...we all just go with their plan and encourage our representatives to at least not obstruct...they don't have to compromise themselves (and there is a place for the opposition party and minority views) but they will have to compromise issues in the end for the country and if they can't then don't vote for them. More than anything this endless jousting is what hurts us all the most. So we can all go vote for our guy as president but I would hope that there's an opportunity to vote for your guy in the congressional races that shares your views but also understands they owe a duty to work with other elected officials to govern.
In any event this election will be decided on the basis of who is the better singer, and who does and doesn't hate gay people, and who has a dancing horse, and who is a black foreign socialist, and who is a rich fat cat who fired the neighbor and so on...but whoever wins that nonsense (and in doing so will likely carry their party to the Presidency and at least 1 chamber of congress) wins. And while there will be compromise it shouldn't be filibuster mania and broken congress round 2.
It's easy to say this now while both sides think there's a chance they win...but I just hope as a nation we can move on after the election.
