I (heart) Politics

Joe Wilson yells "you lie" to Obama. Apologizes under pressure from Republican party. Obama accepts apology. House votes to admonish Wilson for his outburst. Blah, blah, blah...

After the Democrats spoke about civility and decorum, Wilson said, "it is clear to the American people that there are far more important issues facing this nation than what we're addressing right now." I agree that there are currently more important issues facing the nation. I also agree that Wilson's behavior was embarrassing to this country. So where do we draw the line?

The Democrats set the Republicans up with the perfect opportunity to point out that they are wasting time. The only problem is that both parties waste a lot of precious time. It is just a matter of who is better at pointing out the wasted time. Every year their are resolutions presented for honoring college and pro teams from representatives states. There are many other time wasting items that are slipped into bills and prolong votes. I don't even know all of the time wasting that happens, but I do know that it does happen.

I think it is time for the two parties to start working together so that they can accomplish something that will help this country. It seems that since Obama took office, the Republican party has refused to "play nice in the sand box." I, for one, am sick and tired of this. How much longer do the American people need to put up with ridiculous politicians from both parties?
