From my view, partisanship is hampering the discourse in this forum. So many posters seem like they're rooting for their brother in a duel when in fact, most of us know that
most politicians represent special interests and not our interests.

Poll: 74 percent of Americans say Congress out of touch
CNN) -- Just weeks before crucial midterm elections, a new poll says nearly three quarters of Americans see Congress as out of touch, much as they did in 1994, the last time the minority party took control of Capitol Hill.
Seventy-four percent of respondents to a new Opinion Research poll say Congress is generally out of touch with average Americans. That's up from 69 percent who agreed with that view in a January poll this year.
In 1994, 75 percent of respondents to a CNN poll also said Congress was out of touch. |
We should spend less time on partisan sarcasm and more time on focusing on how corrupt the system is, both sides of the Republocrats.
