Guinness, I am neither red or blue.......I trust none of the political parties, they are good on providing soundbites but poor on delivering any of the ideas contained in those soundbites.
I would rather have action without talk than talk with no action......and yes your observation of the current climate in politics is spot on.
Why can't all the parties work together pool the good ideas that they might have?...Well, you only have to look at the coalition to work out the answer to that one.
A dog with a head at both ends...wanting to go off in different directions at the same time.
But I like your post, and think it another one that hits the nail squarely on the head.
