First and Last

"I genuinely admire both of them. I think that we make a terrible mistake believing we have to find something wrong with the people we can't vote for." Bill Clinton on the View.

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I have ever used a Clinton quote, other then to make fun of him. I also tend to think its something I may never do again. However he is dead on with this comment, and its exactly they way I have felt throughout this cycle. I have a always liked and respected John McCain, just like I like and respect Obama. I read views form the left and the right. The biggest thing I notice is that people on the right just love to try and belittle and attack Obama, and people on the left though they seemed initially reluctant, now feel free to do the same to McCain. 

Why is this, why can't we can't show some respect, even if we don't agree? Everyday, we face people with different opinions, are we this aggressive, cruel, and disrespectful to those people? 

Here's an even harder question, why does it seem that some of my fellow christians are sometimes the worst offenders in this political game? Do we really think this is the way Jesus would approach politics?
