Tell it to Republicans who can't tell the truth “about anything”.
FTA:
"Americans believe in civility … and in compromise; they believe in middle-ground solutions," says Daniel Shea, who directs the center at Allegheny College, in Meadville, Pa. "Those are two issues that Americans believe are not well-reflected in the media — in talk radio, television programs, the Internet."
Poll: USA fed up with political incivility
A new study by the Center for Political Participation at Allegheny College finds that Americans overwhelmingly say civility is important to democracy and possible to achieve, even when people disagree.
More than two-thirds in a poll taken for the study said Americans "should be ashamed of the way elected officials acted" during the recent health care debate. Half said the tone of politics has declined since President Obama was elected; just 10% said it has improved.
