After the Republicans perceived big "win" last week, I realized that all the Republicans wanted to do is "win." When the Republicans and Democrats campaigned for the midterms it seemed to me that they were only concerned with beating each other, like a sports competition. Even the pundits are part of this; they are like the cheerleaders for the parties they support. They use such phrases as "WE must stop THEM," or "WE won, THEY lost."
There is more to America than left and right. It makes me uncomfortable to think that certain media outlets are intentionally, or unintentionally, trying to create two Americas. It seems that people get so into backing their "party" that they forget what the party stands for. Nixon referred to a silent majority that would always support him and his policies, the forgotten Americans. I too believe in a silent majority, the true individual, who belongs to no party and believes in personal freedom with a small federal government that protects and HELPS it citizens. By help, I believe that the government should provide some sort of health insurance for all Americans and provides avenues to all who what to pursue higher education. People, please look up T.H. Green.
