Why is it that people always try to talk about politics in absolutes? Why do people have to "belong" to one group or another? It's always "Liberals/Democrats hate America, and ALL libs/dems hate America," or "Conservatives/Republicans are religious nuts, and ALL cons/reps are religious nuts." In the House and Senate, if a "Democratic" bill is up for a vote, then almost all of the democratic representatives or senators will vote for it and almost all the republicans will vote against it and vice versa with a "republican bill." I understand that it's all about power and "if you vote for my bill I'll vote for yours," but it's just a silly way to run a government if you ask me. And all you ever see on fox news or cnn is generic conservative talking head shouting at generic liberal talking head. And why is it that if someone actually thinks for themselves and develops an opinion about things that's not based on their political affiliation, they're looked at as weak?
