politics out of control

Have the two major party leaders lost their minds?  We need another party to come into power - make it a 3 party system.... its obvious that if there is just two, one or the other thinks they have the right answer.... neither of them do.   The 'christian' right Republican base is neither Christian or right.  I am not sure the liberal left has it that much more correct.  We have far too many fronts to work on without taking so much time and airspace to debate the health bill any longer...... if there are things wrong with it, work together and get it fixed.  If you can't work together and come to a compromise, then do the country a favor and quit and let someone who will take your place.  The ultra side of either issue needs to leave the decision to the moderates with some common sense.
The last three presidential elections have really been too close to say that the vast majority of the American population is for or against one of the parties.  I think they all need a big dose of reality.  The truth is that a simple majority is all it takes to make laws - good or bad. And the people who took the time to vote but the candidate(s) they voted for didn't win have to wait until the next election to have a small voice once again.  I think this is something that needs to change.  You can't believe the politicians in office, because they live in insulated bubbles...... It's time to change.  e.g. - the health vote.... our rep here in Central Texas is Chet Edwards.  He claims that the majority of his constituents were against the health bill, and wanted him to vote no............. seriously????????????? I didn't talk to one of those people.  Everyone I talked to wants-wanted Congress to do something to change the stranglehold the insurance/health industry has over us.....  Republicans are chanting that 'big' government should stay out of something that is 1/6th of US business........16.66% of the money made in the US is to keep our citizens healthy???????????  What are they smoking?  Though I consider myself a moderate independent, I find it ludicrous to think that one of the two major political parties think that the health of the populace should be a 'business' let alone one of the largest businesses in the country.......

more to come... let's all have a better day today!
