No matter the
outcome of the 2012 presidential election, we must eventually face the fact
that our political system is broken. As
such, our future struggle will be about whether we are able to fix it our
not. And we must realize that the "it"
we need to fix inheres not in our laws, our constitution or even some other
arcane program. The "it" we need to fix
is ourselves.
The Pundits
On the 11/4/12
edition of ABC's "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos asked the roundtable:
"What does it mean for whoever
wins".[the presidential election][when they are] almost certain to face"a very
similar lineup in Washington than the one they have right now."
Political analyst Matthew Dowd replied:
"The dysfunction"is going
to be even more exacerbated"-- the political system is broken."
When George Will objected
to this, asserting that the political system was "working beautifully," Dowd responded quickly: "It's absolutely broken."
