This doesn't really bother me because I like arguing about politics. I overlook it. I am able to overlook it because politics is, in the grand scheme of things, about as important as the NFL. It is not a religion for me. I think the people who find political give and take distasteful are the people who look to politics for spiritual fulfillment - words like "hope" and "meaning" get tossed around. I think anybody that looks to politics to bring hope and meaning to their lives is begging to be disappinted.

I would be fine if both parties got ran out of town and we started from scratch on a new direction for America. The system is corrupt and I feel the only way to fix it is remove all corruption and that would mean by, by, Dems & Rep..
