Two recent articles in the New York Times have highlighted how bad the partisan divide has become in the United States. On Sunday, the Times reported that some Democrats were wondering if it would be better for them to not gain control of either house of Congress so that the Republicans would inherit the mess they have created over these past five years. On Monday, the Times reported that some Republicans were wondering if it might be better for the Democrats to gain control of at least one house so that the Democrats might be partially blamed for all of our problems (war, deficit, loss of purpose, etc.). How sad that we’re in a situation where all of our public officials are not thinking about what we need to do to get our country back on track, but how we can sabotage the country (from two different perspectives of the prognosis) to achieve political gain. The country is certainly ripe for leaders who consistently do the right thing because it is right, and build their own political momentum as a result of their commitment, sincerity, and vision.
