or if you walked into a bad dream you might hear the Vanilla Fudge cover......I just hadn't heard that song in so many years and I used to love it and when I saw that word in your comment to OBP, it flashed through my mind...aren't neurons the strangest things!!! Hey! Look at this posted letter which I thought had a really good summary of what the two parties are doing with some of their rhetoric to middleman America who doesn't devour and properly digest the news (like you) and isn't born to one party or the other (like me for the most part):

Olbermann: "Karl Rove on Maple Street
After reading Keith Olbermann's recent blogs, "Karl Rove on Maple Street" and "Enough with the Nazi references!", I am surprised to find myself agreeing with him. To a point.
The intensified rhetoric on both sides has become a divisive issue that both sides should accept blame for. However, I believe that the complete stonewalling of American opinion in this administration is harvesting this dangerous crop. Ugly rhetoric is the hallmark of a republic that is failing, as Olbermann warns with allusions to pre-civil war discourse and violence in the senate. Who benefits from the failure of a two-party system democracy?
Could it be the party left holding the most cards?
While we aren't exactly facing rioting in the streets, we are witnessing an intensity of partisanship that has only heated up after the last election, rather than subsided. The White House responds to every breaking scandal with silence or glib assurances. Democratic leadership sound the charge, but use inappropriate language to express their outrage.
At the center of this, I believe, lies Karl Rove. His intentional style of rhetoric and methodology (particularly as recently demonstrated) point to a man intent on manipulating his opposition and distracting the nation from the legitimate scandals (Gitmo, the Downing Street Memo, the global demands for environmental policy changes, the Iraq quagmire, the muzzling of science) that are weakening the administration. What he does for short-term efforts will lead to long-term, deepening divisions and mistrust.
Olbermann has painted the issue in carefully neutral colors, but he never asks the bigger question; what are the "aliens" on Maple Street trying to gain? If he thinks the answer lies in mutual destruction, he hasn't been reading the Karl Rove playbook closely. The goal is to divide and conquer by silencing your enemies. Democrats, while coming out swinging, will need to watch their own rhetoric in the future unless they want their legitimate critique silenced by his noise machine.
