Wouldn't it be great if politics in 2007 was about positive, bipartisan solutions for the country?
Is This Really How You Want to Spend 2007?
By Newt Gingrich, Human Events
January 22, 2007
...I've long argued that almost two years is too long for a presidential campaign. But if all these bright, talented politicians can't be persuaded to put off their presidential ambitions for a year, then they should be persuaded to spend this extra year of campaigning in a way that would do some good: by focusing on positive, bipartisan solutions for the country rather then negative, one-sided, attack politics.
Let's make 2007 a year of solutions and dialogue and leave the ambition and debate for 2008. But what does this mean in practice? It means candidates of different parties should appear together -- on the same stage -- to discuss solutions for America's challenges. Just being in the same room with members of the other party would take 75 percent of the poison out of the process and force the candidates to focus on serving all Americans rather then pandering to a narrow slice of the country.
