As the November elections are coming nearer , most of us get to receive more and more political and election related e-mails , from organizations and individuals representing both sides of the isle , all asking for our help , money and votes . In exactly 6 weeks from today , we will have our mid-terms elections for Senate and the house , where every American will in principal at least , use her or his best judgment to continue the march of intelligent and effective governance , not driven by affiliations , propaganda and blind partisanship . Simply the nation's best interests and needs .
Americans can play a major role in correcting a proven bad situation in this nation's political scene , as both parties are steadily drifting into total partisanship , fanatically so , even if one side is to present the nation and its citizens with a gift like of a perfect deal , the other side , would automatically sneer at it , ridicule and refuse even debating it . Forget voting or approving it . Our legislators today seem more interested in killing bills than discussing or voting them .
We had this unprecedented paralysis for the past few years now , and as we could assume the same to continue or even get worse , by giving the Senate to a GOP majority , should we simply accept two more years of our lives , our future and our children's future to stagnate and go down the drain ?? Let us all admit that this gridlock is paralyzing the administration's ability to work and reform , as much as it is rendering our legislative branches powerless and immobilized .
Shouldn't we instead , consider freeing the hands of this administration for the remainder of its mandate , then judge properly in two years . We could always reverse totally or partially most unwanted reforms and legislation by 2017 , if the majority deems them unpopular , but why completely kill two more years of our nations' life and progress by simply crippling the government .
two years are not the longest or the most detrimental in any nations life , but to make it a trend for the future by any one side , to paralyze and stagnate everything in our civil life , is a very dangerous and malicious trend , to say the least . Vice president Biden said yesterday ; The country could " slide back a decade " if Republicans win the Senate and more seats in the house this Nov.
This administration inherited six years ago the worse economical recession of our living days , a war in Iraq and Afghanistan that cost us not billions but trillions , and we are still today questioning the purpose of starting them , we are not enjoying today our absolute best conditions , but no one can deny the steady and sure improvements on both fronts , economical and warring . In two years we can judge and determine who is to govern us for the next 8 years after 2016 , but let's be fair in giving the one side its deserved chances of governance before we crucify and cripple .
I'm not trying to convince anyone I'm right . But honestly , are we not behaving like third world war torn countries who only believe in one side takes all , or no one governs . We the people of this country, are supposed to have reached sophistication and political maturity to move things to the correct constructive bipartisan governance , when facing such obstinacy from blind politicians of very divided sides , big money, huge corporate interests and their organized propaganda . Choosing wisely would be strictly in our best interests and for our benefit .
As the future with its further paralysis , stagnation and government shut downs , looks more possible , one has to think things over intelligently . My respect for all different opinions , and thanks .
