Many Americans think -- and I am one of the them --that however great our challenges are, and however much we may disagree as to both the nature of the problem and the solutions, there is often common ground to be found and that common ground should be occupied and extended whenever possible.
If you aren't a pundit, then you better hurry up and toss your hat in the ring before it's too late.
First of all, one of the things that keeps the discourse substantive here is that posters are expected to provide proof of their observations. Basing Teh Thoughts of Teh American Electorate on your own does not qualify.
"Common ground" has been "occupied and extended" by Congress with respect to torture, renditions, illegal spying and countless other things over the past eight years. By your stated rules of engagement, you would be happy as a clam with all of this, if they would just tone down the inter-party nasty a bit.
