Nichole spent 82 minutes in jail.
Lunch and illegals affect our daily lives more than abortion. I don't favor abortion,but calling people killers won't change the legality.

Not favoring abortions and saying it is legal is partisan?

It would take a dedicated effort by we the people to force change. The two political parties today do not represent the average american. They are represent their corporate coffers, as evidenced by scandals on both sides of the aisle.
Pretty much, it'll take a revolution to return the govt to the people.
Both parties use misinformation and rabble-rousing to keep the populace arguing over things like abortion, wars, etc. If its truly 50/50 (like abortion), then no law should be made and nothing should be done about it.
Most people play into the "right/wrong" game too easily and lose track of the true essence of govt....the common good of society. Not right or wrong. Just the common good.

Everything is a compromise. Take money out of it and something might get done. Too much emphasis on gay rights, abortion, gun control, environmental issues etc. Gay marriage has been addressed and shot down by most States. Abortion, until it can be passed by law that a child is a person at conception is legal. Gun control is a state issue and has pretty much gone away as an issue. Kick all of that crap out and work on immigration, collusion of big oil, IRAq and homeland security, and drugs. Stop spending money in other countries. Spend money to investigate abusers of social programs, it will save money in the long run. Get off the emotional hot issues and work on the important ones. Stop being radical and work together.

The Constitution IS the solution for a better country. I'd like to see all parties and lawmakers honor it in fact, instead of in the breach.
There can only be one clear interpretation of the Constitution, especially of the limits it sets upon government, and, IMO, the Democrats don't recognize those limits at all. Few Republicans do, either.

This question gets asked in some form about 3 times a day, and the answer remains the same...we're not talking about what to order for lunch, we're talking about issues like abortion, whether we deport or give amnesty to illegals, whether we fight a war on terror or don't, etc., etc. There isn't a lot of middle ground on these issues and "partisanship" is less the issue than views of right and wrong, good and evil.
See?...you answered my objection by being "partisan". My view is abortion is murder, yours is otherwise...so where's the nonpartisan position?

When compromise is not seen as weakness and that a mutual solution benefits the clear majority. I try very hard to not be partisan, people with closed minds (on both sides) rarely make progress to a solution.

Consciousness.
If you think this ideal you're holding has pertinent value you're not really looking at the society you live in.

It would take a big group of men with a white coat and arms that tie behind my back and a big white van with black tinted windows.

What would it take?
Getting rid of politicians along with our anitquated political system and voting in some real people.

If republicans showed they were serious about bringing honesty and integrity to Washington instead of rubber stamping anything Bush hands them.
