Debate is a function unto itself. Rarely does action follow because after all is said and done, a lot more will have been said than done. To borrow a phrase from Charles de Gaulle Deliberation is a function of the many; action is the function of one.

My point is that we can choose to debate our perspectives on what is wrong, or we can choose to do something constructive about those perceived wrongs.

Thinkers think and doers do. But until the thinkers do and the doers think, progress will be just another word in the already overburdened vocabulary of the talkers who talk.

The exhilaration of starting anew

Obama is the President-elect. You can complain, argue, slander, or yell....this fact wont change. His success or failure is completely in the hands of Congress and the American People. Any programs, laws, or edicts must be approved by the congress and then accepted and implemented by the american public. The discourse here is troubling. All Obama has done is to be elected president. Perhaps all of us would benefit from patience. We can work together to make America better, or we can attack and complain and have more of the same.

Colin Powell’s quiet evaluation

Seriously. how can any thinking human being think for one single moment that a obama presidentcy could be worse than bush juniors? I mean really, if bush didnt ruin this country, then how could obama? conserative republicans said of FDR's new deal "it wasn’t doing enough to redistribute the nation’s wealth" how times have changed. democrats oooooo scary

if intelligent, decent people like us can have actual discourse about such important matters, then why is it so very difficult to our elected officials do do the same? Even if i disagreed with a politician, i would have great deal of resepect for them if they would speak in complete sentences that were used to directly answer a direct question. Im a bigboy, i can handle the truth, try using it

Against Palin

open-eyes i rarely agree with you. but this post is completly right on. how can our leaders truly lead when they spend most of their time assualting their opponent rather than assualting the problems at hand. Both parties engage in this he said she said, can you believe who they know, met, pal around with nonsense. I propose we eliminate all parities. Then the candidate or the incumbent might represent all of their district, state or country. I am so sick and tired of the same old crap. Does anyone wonder how we ever get anything done, right or wrong, just something accomplished? I might have drank the kool-aid but i think obama has more of chance to affect change, but like you, i will support whomever is our next president. I may be old fashioned, but i do truly beleive in WE THE PEOPLE and COUNTRY FIRST.

Rate the Debate

You can parade a list of associations for both canidates that give pause for concern. You can argue that my guy always tells the truth and the other guy is lying. The facts are often as misleading as the canadates themselves. Both sides use bits and pieces of their opponents words to their own advantage. This is the the nature of politics in America. You can argue all you want that your canidate is the only one that can get the job done. The reality is that it takes the congress to get things done. They are the ones that control the money. If you want to affect real change, change the makeup of congress
