What really makes me sad is that 40-45% of the country is happily going to vote for R+R just to try to punish their neighbors.

How does a vote for Romney punish your neighbors?

Just because you are supportive of a smaller federal government does not mean you do not care about your neighbor and others in your community. It's divisive comments like that from both sides that prevent opposing viewpoints from coming together to solve some of the big problems of this and future generations.

Conservatives call liberals socialists who want to destroy America. Liberals call conservatives hateful and herp-a-derp. The extreme talking points and spin on both sides prevents meaningful debate that might actually result in some solutions.
