Political Bashing: It's Getting Old

I'd like to talk about the white elephant in the room for United States today. That is the political propaganda going on in the media. I am not going to discuss political views or who I am going to vote for. What I want to talk about is at what point in our nation's history did we stop voting for things that we are for and start focusing on the things that we are against? All you see on TV during election times is one candidate bashing another candidate on their views. I think we should stop harping on the negatives and try to portray what we can do the help our current situation. I can't even watch a TV show or movie without seeing a campaign ad bashing the other candidate about everything they can find. Our country has become so negative that all we look for is the bad qualities in people instead of trying to find what good qualities they have to offer to help us improve our living situation. I just hope that we as Americans can bounce back from this and make the changes needed to have a postive future for our children.
