Politics tires me out

I wonder when the election cycle will begin for the 2016 elections.  Thinking it should have started last year.  That way we can have non-stop bickering, fighting, contentious, litigious, and hating.  Whew!  How do they get that much energy.  I could not do it, and I'm tired of hearing it now. 

I wish the candidates would just ignore each other's prattle and just tell us what they stand for, what they will do to institute change, and then let us decide what stance we will endorse. 

Just think.  The yellow journalists would have little to say.  Perhaps they could report real news instead of make it up as they go along.  My own belief is that today's so-called journalists create the news.  They spend so much time interviewing each other they don't have time to go find out what is happening around them that might be good to report.  PBS is famous for interviewing each other and calling each other "specialists" on this subject or that subject. 

I long for times past when we were civil to each other, less selfish, more tolerant, less offended, more helpful, less mean and just good neighbors.  We need to discard the boorish behavior that seems to pervade our personalities these days.
