health care, immigration, and minimum wage are all polarized issues, I'm afraid.
I know what you mean, it is hard.

How about the concept of family a home, children. Those are some of the things we use to know. What about a Saturday at the movies or a ride in the country. Hey Route 66. What about horse back riding in the country or a picnic in the park. What about falling asleep under a clear blue sky on the beach. See America you have more going for than you know VOTE for me in 2008.

the divide comes in the details not the issue. All Americans are for Education, Child Welfare, and control of the budget the argument is over how it is done. Republicans and Democrats both love America equally just have different ideas on how it should be run.

I agree with the answerer who said the divide comes not from the issues, but from the solutions. We all agree that public education needs reform, but we are polarized on how we wish to reform it.
I doubt anyone disagrees that we have a health-care crisis in the US. I think the solution is not socialized medicine, however. Perhaps tax incentives to businesses need to come with strings attached.

My husband, thanks mostly to Uncle Sam, has lived in or visited 22 foreign countries, most more than once. While he's there, he likes to get away from the tourist areas and talk to the common people. He says that every single person he has talked to has mentioned the following points:
- My government is too big
- My politicians are too corrupt
- My taxes are too high
- Just leave me alone and let me take care of my family
I don't see why that wouldn't apply to America too.

Put the politics aside and consider the lyrics to "God Bless America"
It's a song about our home, our love of home our begging for guidance and grace from above, about its natural wonders and beauty and resources both material and spiritual. If we as Americans can focus our national will on this concept, we could start acting as a family, a team, a nation. We can be as great or as lowly as we try to be.

Liberty, Equality, and Pursuit of Happiness:
These are the tag lines which every American must remember, and preach around the Bush-tormented world.

Wow it seems like there is nothing we agree on as a people, maybe education, cutting crimes rates, and lowering the price of health care making it available to ALL Americans....

This is the middle ground the fence in the middle. Safety, Basic freedoms, Trust in government, Education we need that, Health care, A retirement with security, a environment that will not kill us. That seems middle to me but who really knows.

Nothing. Whatever anyone says, there'll be 10% who will scream bloody murder about it. Complacency, the terminal stage.
