I have just said my goodbyes to the Politics Forum , at least until the elections are over. The mindset of this forum at this time is so damn frustrating. I cannot believe how polarized the two sides are. For a time it was actually entertaining to watch, and learn how these two factions work. Alas, I do not think there is much to learn anymore, the conservatives seem totally blind, and care not what information becomes availible to refute the skill of our esteemed leader.
The Dems make valid points, and try to place as much information as they can into the limelight, only to have someone ignore it all in favor of slamming Kerry into a wall for one thing or another. What a complete waste of time, and energy. I had attempted over the last week to place non-partisan threads into play there....only to have them completely destroyed by a select few Bush supporters.
There was a time, when actual debate took place in the politics forum, and insight could be gained. Many,(myself included) learned enough to be swayed in one direction or another, and were better for the dialogue. Those days are gone.....hopefully not forever.
