Is it just me or is this counter productive?

That would be like expecting people who say they're smart to quit voting to bankrupt themselves by voting either Republican or Democrat.

Each U.S. taxpayer now owes over $143,000 in debt due to the combined fiscal insanity perpetuated by both Democrats and Republicans.

Can you say bankruptcy?

A vote for either a Republican or a Democrat is a vote to flush your future down the toilet!

Not to mention your children and grand children.

Can you say economic slavery?

Time for Americans to remember simple math when they go vote.

That all sounds good, but here is the rub. The left has designs on my Constitutional rights, i.e forced payment for a gov-care system worse than what I have and the right to bear arms. They also expect me to pay for people that are lazy and unscrupulous. To find common ground would mean I would have to give them something that is my right as an American citizen...that will never work with me.The only common ground has already been compromised.

Our society is composed of groups with conflicting interests. In a nation of 300 million people, you're not going to get a consensus on anything, so basically no, we can't all just get along.

you swallow your pride and change your views first.

so what compromise can there be on abortion? prayer in school? some issues do not have a middle ground.

Agree with doorstop.
