I agree with you 100%. Politicians have set a new low bar.

Hear hear

.... If we
continue to accept some of this nonsense as politics as usual, without
also voting with our opinions and dollars, this polarization will
continue and it will undermine the democratic process.


Yep.... part of the reason why polarization & mud-slinging has worked so
well is that elections have hinged upon voter apathy: when only small
numbers of people bother to vote, a targeted group of excitable whackos
have disproportionate influence.

*If* this election yesterday is the start of a new trend, especially with
more young people voting, then we *will* see a big change in politics.
About time, too!

I think both sides should look at the Pombo race. A very secure looking
seat, that got lost. People also vote their heart as well as the pocket
book, and if the Congress-elects do not pay attention to the message, they
will be tossed next cycle. At least we hope they will be tossed next cycle.
The electorate, says move to the middle.
