I scour the Internet to see if there are others out there feeling this same feeling.The ugliness we seem to be feeling as we arch away from one another like magnets exposed to polar ends.
This isn't a political race about "family values", it is an emotional race about our worst and best qualities.
It is a race about race-about sex-about motherhood-feels like an all out war -pitting our most internal beliefs and, yes, our deepest fears.
I wonder why political parties do this?
At a time when we need each other the most, our country has a chasm miles wide and deep.
In times of trillion dollar debt, unemployment, the greatest divide between the rich and the rest of us, an energy crisis, global warming, educational crisis, inflation and financial crisis, our emotions have become almost murderous when it comes to politics. Our country's future is not one big assed photo op filled with sound bites.
Isn't there someone out there who can pull us back together again?
As I always said in my marriage(now long gone) Do you want to be right or married? Compromise goes a long ways in life.
We need to work with the grey to get the black and white.
