It's one thing to earnestly try but fail to bring the two sides together. Though Democrats will deny it, that was the case with George W. Bush.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've heard enough of Democrats claiming a balanced approach.
How are we all going to pitch in to fix this party to make working America know that the Democratic party is absolutely on their side? That's the real question.
When you have a Senate that is 50 Democrats and 49 Republicans and one independent, it's quite obvious that the only way we are going to get something done is if we work together.
Folks are really tired of this rabid division between Republicans and Democrats. Folks want people to come together and solve the problems and the challenges of America.
The Republicans have a very traditional focus over and over again whether or not it's worked.
Now the fact that terrorists throughout the world see this as an opportunity to defeat the United States, we have to be - and every Democratic candidate, even those who opposed us going in, now say we just simply can't cut and run.
You can point fingers on both sides. But only one side ever tried to fix the problem, and that is the Republican side.
I've thought about it, not a lot, but I thought my relationship with Congress - the Democrats and Republicans - would help me get some things done. Not everything, but at least they'd be willing to try.
You can unite behind a candidate and a vision for America without rejecting another candidate and their vision, because in real life, opposed to party politics, we Democrats are on the same side.
The common agenda both sides seem to share is: Whatever works.
