I am soooo sick of politics right now. Yeah, I voted for McCain and I'm bummed that he lost, but I'm more upset that I'm rapidly losing all respect for the way we Americans behave when it comes to politics. I don't see many people expressing themselves with dignity and pride--it's more like indignation and playground taunts. "MY candidate is a self-sacrificing hero--YOURS is an idiot." We've gone back to the "my dad is better than your dad" mentality here, folks! It didn't get us anywhere on the playground and it's not going to accomplish anything in the big leagues either.
And now that the election is over, some people are acting as if all our problems will soon be over while others are preparing for four years of gritting teeth. Can't we learn to accept that no one person is going to fix our problems on his/her own, and no one person can ruin us forever? Are we going to spend our time fighting and finger-pointing, or are we going to find a way to get things done? The only way it can work is if there is some cooperation between the two parties. Didn't we learn that on the playground too?? Why is it so hard to act like grownups when it comes to politics?

Common sense from you of course! But I think ALL the politicians in DC sniff too much Renuzit Room Refresher Spray for years and can no longer think clearly! They need to attend some 12 step RRRSA meetings soon!
