The thing that has surprised me is the level genuine anger and how vicious the politicking has gotten.
It probably takes something as extreme as this shooting to make people take a step back and try to reign back the insanity a little. As for fixing the 'system', for as long as money talks their is no way things will change. What they need is to ban completely all outside funding for political campaigns and make them regulated and funded by the state (which of course means jon q taxpayer coughing up for the tab).

Republicans and Democrats, in general, are very black and white in their views. Unfortunately, the majority of real people live in the gray area in between.
I am pro-guns, anti-censorship, anti-tax, pro-responsible government spending, pro-socialized healthcare, pro-gay marriage, pro-death penalty, pro-legalized prostitution, pro-decriminalized marijuana laws, anti-abortion (in most cases), etc... Half of those are republican platforms, the other half democratic. Since we're stuck with just 2 black and white parties, I will probably never see a candidate that I agree with on everything and I'm sure I'm not the only one. It's highly discouraging.

By a 52% to 27% margin, voters believe that more free market competition is better than more regulation for protecting Internet users. Republicans and unaffiliated voters overwhelmingly share this view, but a plurality of Democrats (46%) think more regulation is the better approach. Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters believe that the FCC would use its regulatory authority to promote a political agenda. Half that number (28%) disagree and believe the commission would regulate in an unbiased manner. The partisan divide is the same on this question as the others. A plurality of Democrats sees an unbiased regulatory approach, while most Republicans and unaffiliated voters fear a political agenda. Also, does anybody else think it's funny that a UFC joked about wanting to fight Obama and had a visit from the secret service? Anyway, if you're honest with yourself Wicker, you'll agree that be you Dem or Rep the people representing you have fallen away from the ideals of the party you're a part of.
