The Democrats need to slow down. And the Republicans need to return to speaking terms with their moderates.

Language is manipulated by both parties. Orwell is working the whole room. Both sides of the aisle. But Frank Luntz with his scarespeak seems to really have it down.

A third party? A dream. Interesting to think about. But not enough money to get a third party off the ground. Our only hope is to get the attention of the elected. And the wannabe elected.

But somewhere along the line, moderation and real communication were kicked aside by power for the sake of power.

And when the Republicans refused to acknowledge Americans who have no affordable access to health care, I was ashamed of the party. I wanted someone to step up and be a part of the solution.

If you have ever known anyone trapped in the horrors of either no insurance or bad insurance at a time of serious need, I do not know how you could turn your back on the issue of finding a solution. But the power brokers of the Republican party have done just that.

I have never known our nation to be this divided. Divide and conquer. It is power for the sake of power. A game. What inning is it anyway?????
