Glenn Beck and Michael Moore agree on one thing: If we could just beat the Republicans AND the Democrats this November, maybe we’d have a shot at solving the enormous challenges we face.
But since that’s not likely, I would like to offer ten reminders to each party, to help them avoid some of the failings of their past and present.
The bipartisan summit on health care has already been dubbed a failure by party spinsters on both sides. But Americans are hungry for the integrative approach it symbolizes.
So am I. I resolve conflicts between political adversaries for a living. And I spend much of my blogging time attempting to crash conversations among true-believers on the right and left – the ones that demonize their favorite enemies as the source of all wrongdoing.
Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Tea-totaler, it’s time for you to stop hanging out with mirrors, and crash those other parties too. To solve today’s challenges, we need strange political bedfellows, partisans willing to jump into the sack with one another, and bring their ideological codes together. That’s the only way to conceive smart and integrative solutions to the challenges we face.
