The Chip Hits The Fan: Calling The Ball

The November 2nd midterm elections this year are previewing a new political quasar that should be examined closely. Polarization and Partisanship rearing their ugliest heads in American political memory. The current pulse, for those of you that don't live in a cave, is that the Republican party is going to make great gains in the House and just plainly kick the Democrats sedentary ass. A political Titanic if you listen to the pundits....
But for the sake of sanity and lack of better words, don't give up the ship just yet Democrats and Independents. I would beg of you to take a look at the record and history. Of course its been 2 years since the current administration has been in place and of course people are growing weary of President Obama and his administration keep bringing up the lame hand they were dealt by the outgoing Bush administration and that is just how it goes when the hand changes from the right to the left. But unlike other arenas, there is no speed shift in this area. If Americans want to punish politicians a mere 2 years after this country witnessed its near economic collapse, punish them all, come up with something new for God's (and ours) sake. Our current ideas of punishing the incumbents and glorifying the extremists is going to send this great country back to the age of the Flintstones.
Get out and vote people, but don't vote based upon what you are choked with on a daily basis by Fox News and CNN, do some homework and examine the facts and history for yourself....

Regards,
C.
