So I noticed people take sides along ideological lines, and are not so compromising about it. This simply put has to stop. Unless the goal of some is to see most not benefit from living in civilization.
Essentially this liberal vs. conservative thing is and always has been crap fed to us to keep us in the dark about what really is going on. We are being treated as mushrooms. I mean not the good sauteed ones either.
I really want to ask this, but am afraid that maybe it will fall on deaf ears. When will we stop this and wake up?
I understand part of this has to do with people not able to understand one another, but if this is the case we must find a way for that to be possible.
This Conservative v. Liberal thing is simply a distraction.
I am sure I am not the first and not the last person who will be saying.
As long as there are fools that believe they can convert the country to their beliefs and control government election after election, the war will continue with each side getting their crack and undoing the work the opposition. Neither side will win, but America will lose.So I noticed people take sides along ideological lines, and are not so compromising about it. This simply put has to stop.

Simply not true: in the next election check this out for yourself. In local elections, contributions are published in the local newspapers; usually not only the amount received as of the published date, but the number of contributors. That information, for now, is the nearest we get to transparency. When one divides the dollars by the contributors we arrive at the amount of the AVERAGE CONTRIBUTION. When that calculation is made it is always clear that the average size of contributions to Ds is magnitudes larger that to Rs.So I noticed people take sides along ideological lines, and are not so compromising about it. This simply put has to stop. Unless the goal of some is to see most not benefit from living in civilization.

You are so wrong. Democrats are a coalition party. Republicans work very hard to "muddy the waters", but the truth is the majority of Democrats get their money from regular Americans. The Republicans are bought and paid for by large corporations.
Now Republicans can rant and whine all they want that this is not true, but legislation presented by the two sides tell the real truth.

You are so wrong. Democrats are a coalition party. Republicans work very hard to "muddy the waters", but the truth is the majority of Democrats get their money from regular Americans. The Republicans are bought and paid for by large corporations.
Now Republicans can rant and whine all they want that this is not true, but legislation presented by the two sides tell the real truth.
Democrats want to regulate Wall Street. Stop policies, such as "speculation" and the terrible practice behind "derivatives", Republicans want to do the opposite. Those can't be denied.
Democrats want to reign in insurance companies who are raping the middle class. Republicans want to make it easier for them to rape.
Democrats want to stop subsidies and tax breaks for big companies, Republicans want to do the opposite. Anyone who has watched the news or read a paper in the last 2 months knows this to be true.
The Conservative/Republican Supreme Court made it possible for companies with offices here in the US to spend unlimited money in our presidential elections. Anyone who says they spend more than a small percentage on Democrats is lying.
This is how Republicans muddy the water. Employees bundle money from fundraising and when they give it to Democratic candidates, they say it's from the company they work at. Every company does this. But the money is coming from the people that work there NOT the company itself. Republicans, even though they know the difference, even though it's something a 10 year old can understand, they insist there is no difference.
What the Republican leadership has accomplished is to convince their base the country would be better off under the control of companies with a Profit Motive rather than a government made up of our neighbors we vote into office.
The absolute worst lie is when they say the two parties, one, 90% white, mostly uneducated and mostly Christian is exactly the same as a party made up of everyone else. That brings the Democrats down to the level of the Right Wing Conservative Confederate Republican Party of Teabirthers. Not a good comparison.
The link below is to an article by Rep Jim Cooper in the Boston Review about how things have gone downhill with respect to cooperation in Congress. He blames the Repubs mostly, or appears to, beginning with Gingrich in the mid 90s. It's a good read.
My guess is, it'll take a major event, like another seriou recession or depression to convince the public and as a result the pols that some cooperation and compromise is neessary. Until that happens the status quo will probably remain in effect.

PS: anybody know of a good book on the subject of changing attitudes in Congress?

You are so blinded by partisanship that facts are most likely irrelevant.
First of all, your perpetuation of some stereotypical Gordon Gecko-like Republican party. In reality the Democratic party receives much more money from Wall Street than Republicans.
Let's compare Obama's top five donors with McCain's during the 2008 presidential campaign.
First, Obama:
University of California $1,591,395
Goldman Sachs $994,795
Harvard University $854,747
Microsoft Corp $833,617
Google Inc $803,436
Citigroup Inc $701,290
JPMorgan Chase & Co $695,132
Now McCain:
Merrill Lynch $373,595
Citigroup Inc $322,051
Morgan Stanley $273,452
Goldman Sachs $230,095
JPMorgan Chase & Co $228,107
Obama is setting the president of billion-dollar presidential campaign, deriving the majority of those funds from large corporations. Contrast that to someone like Ron Paul whose majority, over 80% of contributions are under $100.
You are so misguided and naive to believe that your beloved Democratic party is untouched by the influences of corporate America, which is insightful to the extend of your bias.

Oh, you missed it the other night. I presented the EXACT same evidence to RDean and his response was "well you can't count janitors and secretaries who work for those companies and gave to Obama as big business money" that guy needs a serious adjustment.

Janitors and secretaries always give the equivalent of 3 months salary to presidential campaigns.
In the Fall of 2008 as the full extent of our Great Recession was becoming apparent to everyone still breathing, the last thing the richest 1% of Americans wanted was another Republican in the White House, and they made their campaign donations accordingly.You are so wrong.

Now Republicans can rant and whine all they want that this is not true, but legislation presented by the two sides tell the real truth.
Democrats want to regulate Wall Street. Stop policies, such as "speculation" and the terrible practice behind "derivatives", Republicans want to do the opposite. Those can't be denied.
Democrats want to reign in insurance companies who are raping the middle class. Republicans want to make it easier for them to rape.
Democrats want to stop subsidies and tax breaks for big companies, Republicans want to do the opposite. Anyone who has watched the news or read a paper in the last 2 months knows this to be true.
The Conservative/Republican Supreme Court made it possible for companies with offices here in the US to spend unlimited money in our presidential elections. Anyone who says they spend more than a small percentage on Democrats is lying.
This is how Republicans muddy the water. Employees bundle money from fundraising and when they give it to Democratic candidates, they say it's from the company they work at. Every company does this. But the money is coming from the people that work there NOT the company itself. Republicans, even though they know the difference, even though it's something a 10 year old can understand, they insist there is no difference.
What the Republican leadership has accomplished is to convince their base the country would be better off under the control of companies with a Profit Motive rather than a government made up of our neighbors we vote into office.
The absolute worst lie is when they say the two parties, one, 90% white, mostly uneducated and mostly Christian is exactly the same as a party made up of everyone else. That brings the Democrats down to the level of the Right Wing Conservative Confederate Republican Party of Teabirthers. Not a good comparison.
You are so blinded by partisanship that facts are most likely irrelevant.
First of all, your perpetuation of some stereotypical Gordon Gecko-like Republican party. In reality the Democratic party receives much more money from Wall Street than Republicans.
Let's compare Obama's top five donors with McCain's during the 2008 presidential campaign.
First, Obama:
University of California $1,591,395
Goldman Sachs $994,795
Harvard University $854,747
Microsoft Corp $833,617
Google Inc $803,436
Citigroup Inc $701,290
JPMorgan Chase & Co $695,132
Now McCain:
Merrill Lynch $373,595
Citigroup Inc $322,051
Morgan Stanley $273,452
Goldman Sachs $230,095
JPMorgan Chase & Co $228,107
Obama is setting the president of billion-dollar presidential campaign, deriving the majority of those funds from large corporations, contributions that have thus far dwarfed any given to a Republican candidates. Contrast that to someone like Ron Paul whose majority, over 80%, of contributions are under $100.
You are so misguided and naive to believe that your beloved Democratic party is untouched by the influences of corporate America, which is insightful to the extend of your bias.
You need to do a little more investigation. This is what I was talking about Republicans muddying the waters. The money that went to Obama came from the people that are employed by those companies. The money that went to McCain came from the companies themselves. Try to reason out the difference.
