Divided We Fail

This website has a bunch of ads that keep interrupting me when I'm watching the Colbert Report. For those who haven't seen it, their logo is half elephant and half donkey. I finally decided to visit it, expecting to see compromise solutions to government financing and health care. Instead I saw this. Some of the highlights:

We believe...

Our children and grandchildren should have an adequate quality of life when they retire. Social Security must be strengthened without burdening future generations.

We believe...

Wellness and prevention efforts, including changes in personal behavior such as diet and exercise, should be top national priorities.

So rather than offer some middle solution, such as privatizing parts of social security, or reducing government involvement in health care, their solution is to strengthen social security and then make people diet and exercise?

This probably wouldn't bother me, except that this is a prime example of why I don't like Obama's campaign. Lots of Obama maniac classmates keep telling me about the importance of unity and bipartisan solutions, then they explain proposals that have been around since the Johnson administration.

I don't mind if people come to me and argue for pro-government solutions, but it is annoying when they try to disguise it as a wonderful cooperative solution that both parties should endorse.
I think the same classmates would be equally annoyed if I advertised my plan for the elimination of the FDA as an attempt to "reach across the aisle."

But just in case, I think I'm going to try it. After all, shouldn't Democrats and Republicans believe in eliminating minimum wage? Divided we fail, but together we can do anything.
