But can you agree?

Democrat and Republicans battleI watched a good chunk of both the DNC and RNC. I listened to the rhetoric of Democrats saying that Republicans are stupid and visa versa. I was especially annoyed during the RNC to hear a line-up of failed presidential candidates call Barack Obama stupid, young, and naive.

And it left me with a single, two-fold question: Which candidate will be able to work to build bridges? Which candidate can unite a divided nation?

That person is prepared to lead our country. Leading one party further to the left or the right isn’t interesting to me.

    I’m sticking with my new philosophy: I’m voting for whichever candidate I determine “sucks less”.

    That’s awesome. I think that means you need to develop the “suck-o-meter.”

    dave- until this week I thought serving your community was a good thing. but apparently it’s not important to help people get jobs and things like that.

    In terms of building bridges / uniting a divided nation, I think BOTH Obama & McCain have impressive track records of working with both parties. However, after hearing Gov. Palin’s devisive speech, I’m becoming a little more skeptical of how sincerely the Republicans want unity. It will be an interesting 2 months!

    I don’t get how both parties can bash each other and then say they’re working for unity between the parties. *scratches head*

    I never thought about that, Adam. Hmmm…
