Unfortunately, some people can't agree to disagree and then move on. We need more of the electorate and politicians who take more of a compromise and middle of the road approach. Dwight Eisenhower probably said it best. "I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.".
You captured and articulated my sentiments precisely. Thanks Jim!
