I apolpgize if I came across otherwise, but I feel quite strongly about politics, and I speak up about it when anyone will listen.

I agree with you, there's very little agreeing going on when it comes to politics. I only came out against your statement because of how it sounded to me at the time. It sounded to me like you were insinuating that some people who voted, specifically for the PC, did so blindly without knowing the facts. It sounded like you disagreed with voting for a party even if you didn't agree with them 100%.
I probably read into it wrong, sorry for that if I did.
I agree with you, on most everything else, though obviously not your party choice.
Debates about politics, hell debates about anything, would prove to be a lot more effective if the people involved stopped to actually listen and think about the opposite views.
If people would just realize that we as the voters all have the same intrests in mind, what's best for Alberta (or the country, or whatever the vote is about) perhaps there could be more constructive progress made in politics. We don't all agree on what's best and what the best ways are to achive the desired results, but that's what's great about democracy.
