Time for a little non-partisan HONESTY?

I wanted to pose a similar question but could not decide on the proper wording. I am not even certain that I can answer this well now. I agree with you even though I never voted, nor would vote, for Bush (and only for Clinton and Kerry with great trepidation). Blaming in this case is useless and divisive. I truly believe that it is time in this country to unite behind our elected leaders every time we elect them. That is the essence of a successful democracy. We must have our discussions, cast our votes, accept the outcome and support those elected. That way we support our system AND we survive. Everyone makes mistakes, including all presidents and other elected leaders (and I and you). Inspection and introspection are required. However, partisan politics and a press corps all too dedicated to 'making' news exaggerate these mistakes in modern times and this causes a weakening of the system in general.
