Political stuff is always going to be personal, devoid of facts, and polarized. The question is, are you willing to put up with it? The thing is, the disputes aren't about solving problems in america, but rather about how we'll go about it. It's sometimes the case that each side has a proposal that will work, but the policy isn't the battleground. The politics is. It's a fact of life that you just have to accept the politics if you care about the policy.
I'm sure GWB would rather spend his time winning wars, revamping our education system, and cutting taxes instead of sparring with senators and running for office. But, we live in a republic, not a dictatorship.
You might be more clear if you talked about which sites you find so disagreeable. Most of the ones posted here are valuable. Daily Kos is pretty liberal and kinda biased towards dean, but still has good info. Talking Points Memo prefers Edwards or Clark, but nevertheless provides original and interesting reporting. That's one of the strengths of blogs. You can come to understand the writer, see through the bias, click the link, and think for yourself.
