I know and I would find it a lot more comical if it didn't have such a negative impact on the world we live in. Its amazing how even the most intelligent of people have pulled the political discourse in this country down to the level of sports fans arguing about an upcoming game between two rivals.
The other side is ALWAYS wrong and my side is ALWAYS right. Like some childish game of cops and robbers where everything needs to be defined in terms of good vs evil because they don't understand anything else. Maybe if we stopped turning politics into entertainment people might be more apt to see the shades of gray and put country before party but as long as the team mentality is pushed on us it will never change.
