The horrible Arizona attack on a congresswoman and other people is highly condemnable. But what is more outrageous is the fact that instead of coming together both the Republicans and Democrats. The mud slinging has started that due to the heightened political rhetoric, this tragedy happened. Nobody seems to care that the guy who did the shooting was mentally unstable and nobody alerted the authorities that he had weapons in his house. All the fighting is about how the Republicans have charged this atmosphere so tense that the guy went crazy and starting killing. I just believe that this country is so much divided into Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals and the like that even this kind of tragedy does not tone down the charged and toxic atmosphere of partisanship.
Instead of blaming each other for the economic mess and how the country is proceeding, we make issue out of this kind of tragedy and start our own political agenda. I know that the Political infighting is going on and it would not stop but can we at least see this tragedy with the lens of a violent person and not a Republican and Democrat issue. The real issues of the people are being sidetracked by senseless name calling and mud slinging. This has to stop if we want our country to move forward with more pressing problems (like economy, Jobs, budget deficit, etc).
