This is proof for why we need alternative to the two-party system. All this squabbling is going while our economy is crumbling. Does this suggest these people are putting their country first? We face a crisis. The candidates should be working together to come up with solutions, not distracting us with childish arguments. What more proof do you need to show that the two-party system is failure. In fact, the Wall St. collapse is due to these people running the country without the consent of the governed. Since it is the very same corporations that profited from the housing boom, and from those onerous sub-prime loans, that run our nation. The politicians just stood around and refused to stop the profiteers from plundering the economy:
A growing number of U.S. Democrats are expressing concern over the aggressiveness in Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign.
With the New York senator's husband, former President Bill Clinton, taking a more active role in her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, much of recent attack advertising has been focused on her chief rival, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., , the Washington Post reported.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who endorsed Obama last week, criticized Bill Clinton for what he called his "glib cheap shots" at Obama.
"That's beneath the dignity of a former president," Leahy told reporters. "He is not helping anyone, and certainly not helping the Democratic Party."
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., who is not aligned with any of the contenders, said party unity was being threatened by the escalating attack ads.
