More reasons why we need to join together to reunite our country:
- End This Madness! "Barely two months shy of Iowa's precinct caucuses, Americans already tired of the 2024 presidential selection process can't be certain when it formally will begin," Chicago Tribune writes. "No matter the final schedule, though, we'll all come away from this maddeningly pushed-up presidential cycle resenting the state political parties that are to blame for it."
- Here We Go Again: "Just when you thought someone might be confirmed in Washington without a partisan fight, Senate Democrats are suggesting they may not approve Michael Mukasey as Attorney General after all," Wall Street Journal laments.
- What About The Rest Of The Country? "The large field of candidates for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination is enthusiastically ... running harder and further to the right than any Republican field since 1980, or perhaps 1964," McClatchy reports. "At this stage, a year before the general election, Republicans are running toward the party's base to win primaries but running away from the rest of the country on issues such as Iraq, Iran, immigration and federal spending."
- Quotable: "The system in Washington is corrupt. It is rigged by the powerful special interests to benefit they very few at the expense of the many. And, as a result, the American people have lost faith in our broken system in Washington, and believe it no longer works for ordinary Americans. They're right" -- Former Sen. John Edwards (D-NC).
