Division As A Political Tool

There are those that know and understand that division will sometimes happen in politics and in life. We accept the condition but yet work to fill in the gaps because we acknowledge that division does nothing to improve the political landscape. Nothing will grow on land that is pocked by deep chasms of political division. It is imperitive that we find a compromise that allows us to bridge the gap.

Then there are those so short sighted and so blind that they believe division is the only way politics should work. These are the people motivated by their own self interests. The ones who could care less about progressing this nation and worry only about their political concerns. Their care is NOT for the common man or even the common good but is completely and totally motivated by what profits and promotes their own agendas. These are the people we must watch, the ones that must be called on their hypocrisy.

The fight is long and tiring but if we hope to move forward as a nation it must be fought.

The supreme court has aided these people at the highest level. They have enabled a free use of "issue ads" which will come from special interest groups and which will morph and mislead the argument from both sides.

Disinformation is the rule of the day. It is being spread all the way from the big money groups to the small promoter spewing his own brand of venom.

If we don't stop the rhetoric and deal with people..
If we don't stop labeling those who disagree with us as evil...
If the main focus is not reaching an understanding instead of furthering a division..
We are doomed.
