I love politics. I love discussing politics, I love arguing about politics, I love the messiness of politics, I love give and take of politics, I love the strategy of politics, I love the successes of politics and the failures of politics. I love the fact that no one person has the same exact thoughts about politics. I love that my hero may be your antichrist and vice versus.
Yes, this thread gets petty and messy and stupid. This thread has also educated and informed and entertained. There have been times when I have read some truely thoughtful and insightful posts and certainly a great deal of poorly thoughtout and immature posts. That pretty much sums up politics.
I tend to agree that when discussions center around two or three individuals and their opinion of each other's posts, it gets a little tiresome, but I believe in free speech, so let them act like children and move on.
No, this is not a prefect thread, but let's get real, none of the threads are perfect. Politics is messy and often juvenile, it is also serious and often inspiring, much like this thread. Let it be.
