Just some thoughts

I won't disagree with Yoda's statement as it is true. Thats right, even Democrats feel we should be focused on what Washington is talking about and not Glenn and Rush. Its like watching a train wreck, ya just cant look away. If what they say is true it is of such great importance to the nation and must be stopped. They drive a wedge between the two parties that makes getting enough support to stop what they say they want stopped more difficult. You may not think they are not sarcastic, but hundreds of thousands of Americans do. And thousands of them vote with their feelings and not facts. That is done by both parties.
Let me rephrase the original question I asked for in this string: Do they wish to get support to change the country for the better OR do they wish the country to just throw insults back and forth? If you insult me with your opening line, my ears go closed. If you keep a civil informative tone, I promise I will listen and then you have a good chance of gaining my support. Please change the argument to a debate.
I know, I get it that if you like these guys, you support them no matter what they say or how they say it. Trust me, like Grandma always said, you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Now I ask again, do they want to help the country or do they want to keep the parties mad at each other? The more the parties fight, the higher their rating go at the expense of the country.
Now, for the reason I have became obsessed with this issue:
1. I voted for Obama, but I am getting concerned with some things that are happening and some things that have not yet got done.
2. I turn on The Factor and find myself nodding to the positive. Then Beck and I start grinding my teeth.
3. I remember my conservative roots and feel I am still in agreement with most conservative values.
Can anyone simply say that Beck and Limbaugh drive more support with their actions than they attract?
The Villages Florida could be the turning point in American Politics: Not wanting to sound to much like John Lennon, just imagine a group of retired Republicans and Democrats getting together in a recreation center conference room and work to make this country a better place to live. Being all Americans, we do not have to be them and us.
Now thats all I got to say about that.
