"I am sick and tired unto death of "agendas" "liberals" "conservatives" "radical right" "radical left" and the rest of those tired old labels. How about someone who says, "Let's work for the common good, for the good of the nation, of the community" for a change?"

Have you listened to Newt Gingrich lately? He's saying the same thing. But when he says it it is suspect because, well because he has been "labeled". You can believe that you're open to "ideas", and sick of the "agendas", but until you realistically look toward any ideas that you haven't been embracing all along, you're doing exactly what you're complaining about.
