It seems as all they care`about is debunking one another and not really concentrating on what the real problems are...such as the defecit...,the need to pull out of Iraq and let them set up their own leadership...why big business can make billions of dollars in profits and keep raising prices on staples such as food, gas, the need to fix the immigration issue without giving anyone amnesty...jobs leaving america...poor health care...the high cost of doctors, hospitals, and prescription medicines....they all talk about doing something about these subjects but nevere do

I would tend to agree. While I'm a Dem, I find that both Repub and Dem parties have things I like and dislike. Neither party seems to really deal with the major issues we have to solve-- e.g. health care, deficit, trade policy. Issue is, these major policy items take alot of work and tough choices. Neither party, who's major interest it seems, is simply looking for the next election and to get relected. In the meantime, they're catering/pandering to the special interests or passing some lame-a** legislation.

Yes, it seems so but it is not just the politicians. Reading questions and answers on here is like listening to politicians. No one wants to agree with anyone. Face it, we have become a country of radicals. How do you lead such a group? No way you can make both happy and there is no give to either side. While it is fine to have your own views, somehow, someway we are going to have to give a little to make things work.

I beleive the people are tired of this constant bickering and ready for whatever party wins to get back to business. Look at Bush and Carter, they are in the middle of a feud. All this constant fighting is literally ripping us right down the middle.

I think most people can't name their two state senators because they are preoccupied with brangelina and American Idol.
Nothing significant will change for the better as long as republicrats are in charge.

I agree 100%..Both parties are led by ideologues who aren't bothered by everyday reality.

I don't know about most people, but personally I think Hillary has a pretty good platform.

I agree, seems all they want to do is please themselves. And not really do what is best for the USA.
