Stop the hate in politics

I’ll be the first to admit, I know very little about politics and that’s okay with me. However, there is one thing about politics that continues to confuse me. Why does there need to be so much negativity? It seems as though I can’t turn on the T.V. anymore without seeing one presidential candidate bashing the other one. I’ve always heard that politicians play dirty, but is all of this attacking necessary?

I can’t remember who was running or even what they were running for, but a few years ago there was one candidate who only talked about what HE would do if he got elected. Not once did I ever hear him bash a running mate, and I remember thinking if I were of age, I would vote for him just because he focuses on what he wants to do, not what everyone else is doing wrong. I would have a lot more respect for both presidential candidates right now if they could lay down their weapons for a minute, and focus on what they plan to accomplish, not what the other person is doing wrong in their eyes.

This doesn’t only apply to presidential candidates, it seems like everyone in the political world is doing the same. Let’s stop the hate, and just focus on what we can improve.

I though this quote was a nice little reminder for the week. Enjoy!  “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” –Winston Churchill
