What is black and white and gray all over?

Politics. Yes, that's right. I am talking about Republicans vs. Democrats, the Left vs. the Right, Conservative vs. Liberal. After watching our President speak last night about job creation, tax cuts for small business owners, and holding Republicans more accountable for stronger leadership, I seem to be even more confused about the union of our state. I feel like I am being asked to fill out a survey where none of the answers fit the description I would chose exactly. I would like to take a part of one question and a part of another question and combine them to make my answer. As a registered Republican, I am less worried with having the right answer - fitting into a, b, or c - and more interested in what will be best for our country. I realize that "best" is subjective. I realize that as a Republican, I am meant to want less Government oversight and regulation. But to be honest, I am sick of being limited to what a Republican is "supposed" to believe in. I am tired of watching our leaders reprimand each other for the side of the aisle they sit on. I probably sound as though I want everyone to hold hands and sing "Kumbaya" but I am not naive. Disagreement and challenge are necessary and vital to keep power in check and our democracy thriving. I propose however, we quit arguing over what it means to be Republican or Democrat and start acting on good morals and values. Perhaps d is the right answer, all of the above. Lets make gray the new black.
