Reply #53: The far left can be just a bad as the far right

[gravity]

It is the people who are looking for a fight and to prove their side right who are causing the problems in government.

One thing that I notice is that talking to Republicans, if you take out the politics of many issues, you can find that you agree on a lot more things than you thought. It is when you start arguing whose side is right that you get heated discussions and gridlock. It is like politics can be a religion, which just destroys all free thought and we fight to the death over when we essentially all want the same thing for this country.

My original appeal to Obama is that he recognizes this in the country, and wants to end the gridlock in our politics that has preventing us to tackling the real problems this country needs to address.
