While blogging has been interesting, the time has come to put political concepts in play or as my daddy use to say “take it out of the talking phase.”  Americans have been attentive to politics and policy continuously for the last few years and that is a good thing.

During this important election year, the collected knowledge of the voters could make this of the most informed elections in history.  The major political parties are in a state of flux so let’s hope this transition period will produce healthier, goal-oriented policy-making in which leaders consider the people and the future more than money and power.  Yea, right.

Moderates and centrists should hope for a reduction of the classic political party slate. Getting our whole community to blindly support every candidate in one party is insulting on some level; especially when we see that parties don’t always monitor the legislative activities of officeholders.  But if the candidate has a “D” or “R” on his or her jersey, we started with the assumptions.

I appreciate the Democrats who battle with the Far Left over wild spending and expanded size of government.  More Republicans should do the same with the Far Right when they generate rhetoric that fires voters’ blood dangerously.

The Slate is a relic that should be blown off in the general election; if you like a candidate from another party, you should vote for that person.  In a complex twist, we should stop hating the other guys for being so wrong and hope that a few of them add reason and logic into their debates, plans and discussions.  We shouldn’t think that voting for all Democrats is helping the Democrat Team and President Obama because some Ds are in it for themselves and a few better Republicans could look at the others sternly when they start with that crazy talk.
