Can't we all just get along?

Maybe the problems of our country all come down to one thing. How unbelievably divided we are as a country. You have democrats on one side, republicans on the other. Then you have your fringe groups of left wing crazy liberals, and right wing religous nuts. Then you have independents out there that really are the people with any common sense left.

George Bush accomplished one thing while in office. Dividing the country further along political lines, capitalizing on what Bill Clinton was responsible for starting. Back when Clinton was in office, the republicans were trying to burn him at the stake, now it has come full circle. Democrats are in control of congress, and they want to be sure that Bush fails and is seen as a complete failure in his presidency. Bush is an idiot. That is for sure. My grandpa always said that he though Dick Cheney was the real person in charge, and I think he may be. What is wrong with this? The fact that someone is "in charge". It's the people who are in charge, right? Wrong. Because we have elected a bunch of representatives that do not do, or fight for the things that We the People want. What is it going to take for us to wake up? It wasn't that long ago that there was a civil war in this country (in the terms of history). Granted, the chances of someting like that happening now are slim to none, we still need to exercise our voting rights because they are just that. Rights. Get up off your butt when election time comes near and VOTE! I don't care if you are a liberal, a right winger, a fiscally conservative republican, an independent, an alien (space alien), whatever, get out there and vote. If you don't, you have no one to blame but yourself.
