And with politicians like Hillary Clinton trying to be somewhere in the middle, she is getting flack from both sides. On one side the Republicans are dissing her because she doesn't belong, and on the other side the Democrats are dissing her because she is being disloyal to the Democratic party. I agree.

And I compare that to politics at this point in our country. This country and politics have become primarily partisan. For example, you hear on the news how if a politician votes on a certain issue he is automatically a liberal (blue) and is immediately rejected by the republicans (red). Partisan politics have become almost gang-like -- you cannot be considered a Democrat unless you vote liberal on every issue and vise-versa. It has become almost a joke to watch the Democrats and Republics disregard important issues merely because they are playing partisan politics. Red Vs. Blue continues even as adults. And that article points out the fight in Iraq is a fight of power. Gangs fight for power. Our politicians fight for power. Kinda crazy, huh!
