"but I guess that was proven in the last two elections. loser"

This is one of the things that really gets to me. Since when has politics and the elections become a sporting event? We root on our team as if cheering for a college football game. It is all about "our team" winning and not about what is best for this country. I have young children. The past 4 years are making me really sad regarding the type of country that we all (yes, all of Americans on this website included -- even you aDCBeast -- and me as well) are leaving them. A nation burdened with unremitting debt; a nation rapidly losing our ability to actually manufacture anything; a nation consumed with our own entertainment; a nation exporting jobs and essentially selling our assets to support our consumerism. This country is in trouble, and it pisses me off to read comments treating this all like a game. Real funny game when old grannies are going to be out in the street in 40 years because we can no longer afford Social Security. Screw the winning and losing, we need to get this country back on the right track. All of us.
