Re; Personal Politics

Before I start let me say this is more personal than political I think that was sort of the frame of mind of the original post, anyway. I read the links that were available and found some of them to be kind of refreshing since they seem to be written in sort of an informal format, a little more like a jobsite conversation of course with the exception of George Will. My problem (personal problem) with political columnists and alot of the extreme press is There is a whole lot of whinning and complaining and not a whole lot of realistic ideas, for the most part they are on the outside looking in, not a great place to advance your ideas from. On the other side of the equation, those on the inside looking out, could not be less progressive virtualy insuring a pissing match beyond most peoples comprehention. I am no student of politics (in fact I'm not sure I am even spelling it right) but it seems to me this dynamic is not new but certainly at levels never seen before. My immediate reaction is be moderate hoping to return to the days of bipartisan comprimise. Newt and Joe may not be anyones favorite right now but they will work with one another based on the value of their ideas not which side of the isle they sit on, a quality both sides could learn from. If the people do the talking the next round of elections may produce some leaders that are a little more agreeable and alot more progressive.
