I read political blogs. I understand which ones are skewed in what direction. I read them all because I try to understand why the most extreme view are the ones that get the most coverage. I see the hatred and name calling and instigating of violence. I watch our political leaders ignore basic decency for votes. I watch our public officials ignore facts. what is this doing to our children? What kind of example are we setting if our elected officials can't control themselves in their working lives. What is Senator Miller telling his kids about prostitutes and why it's ok to call a colleague that name even though he disagrees with her. Is this what Senator Miller wants for his children's generation? How does he view women and why would Sarah Palin associate herself with a man who has such disdain for a woman who is just doing her job? The world will do what the world will do, but I would just love to see someone stand up for civility instead of controversy.
