The world is run by politics. I don't think that it is just republicans that are doing this. Any group is like that. I do that when I talk to other import car owners. As far as what you know about politics not too many people can list what their own party stands for. I think it would be safe to say that the party a person claims is either the same party that their parents were apart of OR one that their best friends are apart of.



Want to see something funny? Go to either parties website. Nothing on their talks about what they stand for. They only say why their party is better and how the opposite party is bad...



I don't follow politics either. I chose not to because when I look at people that do they scare me. To me it forces a person on how to think. I know enough to say that both parties have good qualities and good ideas. However why can't a person be for both parties? I just think it is ignorant for a person to go right up to the voting booth and vote straight democrat or republican. [/quote]

wow! someone who thinks like I do! Normally people just tell me I'm ignorant.



My wife's family has relatives in politics, and they've all been raised to be well-informed. Boy, do I catch hell when I talk about what I think of politics. I've learned to back away slowly from political conversations. [/quote]

Yeah...I basically do the same thing. I try to avoid the conversations because people take it to heart and very seriously. You would think you were talking about someones mom when you say something bad about their party. I hated government. My prof. was a hard core democrat mainly because of their bigger emphasis on education. He played Bushes state of the union address like 500 times and would try to point out signs that he was an idiot. I just went to sleep...

That's the same thing that happens to me as I live free and clear.....of politics. As soon as I've come across one of these brainwashed "Us and Them" types I never get out of talking about their favorite subject (the subject of why they believe what they believe and why it's the best thing since sliced bread) cleanly. I use common sense, they have well polished rhetoric. They usually have hours of rhetoric that they have archived in their brains. I boil things down to their basics. The way I go about politics can usually be summed up in a few minutes of talking. So when ever I've come across any of these political tools they get all smug because their arguments are better. Not that they are right, but that they believe it to be right because they use more words to beat their dead horse. Go figure.
