I try not ot get involved in political discussions because I do not follow politics closely.
This post however hits on why I do not follow politics. I find it amusing how we as Americans love to separate ourselves into groups and then scream that we want equality. If you voluntarily place yourself into a group you are going to find an opposing group.
I also find the term "liberal media" amusing. The so-called conservatives ranting about the "liberal media" are all part of the media. This is the one area that the opposing group remains silent. You never hear about the "conservative media".
I also think that religion plays too big a part in our political system. We say in the Constitution that we want the separation of Church and state yet a politician's personal religious views are involved in their campaign. Their religious view should not have any bearing on the job they perform.
Not sure if any of this makes sense or is even relavent but it just gets to me when a politicians party affiliation seems to be more important than the way they voted on the last bill.
