A New Political Analogy
Posted on | April 17, 2009 | No Comments
I good friend of mine has come up with a new political analogy that I find amusing and true yet somewhat sad. He says that politics are more like a football game these days. One side has the ball and drives to score political points while their side cheers on the sidelines. Once they loose the ball (elections) and the other side has control of the ball; now their job has changed and it’s all about defense and stopping their opponent from scoring while their fans cheer from the sidelines.
Since hearing this I can see that my friend has a valid point. It’s no longer what’s best for the country through study, thought and compromise, it’s about winning for the party; whatever party you happen to like or agree with the most. This is a dangerous game and it involves the current and future generations of America. And another thought; when we need to be working together is not the time to be playing football!
