JUST LIKE SPOILED KIDS ON A PLAYGROUND

Just like spoiled kids on the playground, political beliefs are no longer debatable, but rather the old dig in your heels, and fight, no matter the cost. Now it's either my way, or no way at all. No wonder nothing of value is accomplished in Washington.

Just like World War I, lines have been drawn and trenches dug. Now, as the fierce fighting goes on, nothing is accomplished and a stalemate occurs. They view each other as the evil empire that must be defeated; not the problems that face out country.

So grow up, start thinking, and surprise the advisers and strategists. No longer should they be able to predict your way of thinking. No longer should they be able to program the candidates with robotic lines.We need to be able to see them in their true colors, with their original thoughts and ideas.

If we took the time to study all the candidates, we would quickly find out that no matter what the party affiliation, some of them are middle of the roadies in their views and it wouldn't be a mortal sin to cross over party lines to vote for the better candidate. But the strategists know that the majority of voters will stick to party affiliation and will vote the straight ticket. And we wonder why all the idiots in congress!

Independants might enter the contests, knowing they have a chance to win rather then being spoilers. The quality and quantity would improve and we would all benefit.
