I would agree. When you look at issue by issue, the public tends to be more united than not. More united on ways to deal with problems. You know most folks if you take the party out of the issue, they can come to common ground.
“But they have to play a mean game to hold onto their jobs. “ Oh man this is so true. They need the votes but they typically don’t care about those when it comes to money, PAC’s and donors are who they pander to. There is no money in solving the problem. You can’t fix things and keep people scared enough to keep giving you money. Good example, the wall and immigration. You worried about too many illegals and building the wall? These same politicians arguing about this also have the power to change immigration laws and quotas. Raise the quotas and change the requirements to become a citizen and people no longer are called illegals. But that solves a problem and we can’t have that. Another case in point, flat tax. Flat tax doesn’t create winters and losers so if it’s complex tax code, people are always coming to you to win favor by altering the tax code. Politicians have power this way. Simple does not create power. All politicians I believe are narcissists for this reason. They thrive on having some level of power. Why do you think they don’t have terms limits, or have crazy campaign laws that allow to keep campaign funds when they no longer intend to run….. Why if you only have to be in congress for 6 years, you can retire with the same pay as in office and have full health insurance? Only 6 years, why do you stay longer? Because they love power and staying longer builds more power.

It really makes me sad how easily these people can be manipulated. Pretty much all fox "news" hosts are fully vaccinated yet they make their viewers question the vaccine. Trump is vaxxed and boosted and he has been booed on stage when he said that. I would love to be able to vote for some GOP members but they keep proving to me they're so far off the deep end, I don't see how I possibly could. I'm all for moderate politicians and so far, Biden has been fairly moderate and not pandering too much to the far left. And I wish GOP members would stop pandering to the far right beliefs that are killing people with covid and causing them to storm the capitol because they think the election was stolen. Obviously, it was not. I'm firmly against any politician that shows they're anti-lgbtq. It's 2022 so it's time to let people love who they love without hating on them. Republicans need to do a better job standing up to the nut jobs in their party like trump, Madison cawthorn, Marjorie Taylor Green, and some other crazy lady who dropped out of highschool. All they do is spew hate and don't actually legislate. On Thu, Mar 31, 2022, 11:30 AM Chuck McCown <ch...@go-mtc.com> wrote: We buried some anti vaxers in our neighborhood. My daughter in law worked at an infusion clinic where they gave them the IV treatment. She saw very frightened anti vaxers all day long every day begging for treatment. And some begging for treatment while denying it was covid.

They believe science is fake, rigged, and that somehow their favorite far right TV personalities or podcast hosts are smarter than Doctors and Scientists. Greenie here and I know more than a few people who have had Covid 2-3 times and they screamed the last 2 years that they wouldn't get Covid because they had natural immunity. How'd that turn out for them?!?! Did they admit they were wrong? Of course not because they'd rather dig their heels in and be wrong 10x worse than admit fault and do the right thing.
