I used to be really into politics, but then ...Amen. I used to be really into politics, but then I realized I was miserable all the time. I felt like I had to pick a side and then defend that side no matter what. It was emotionally taxing, especially since one side is saying that something is orange while the other side is saying it is actually blue. The truth is lost, and so is my faith in a political party.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791030022876359788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-56922394952308164832011-06-07T07:11:33.418-07:002011-06-07T07:11:33.418-07:00I've been feeling this way for a long time, to...I've been feeling this way for a long time, too. It seems like every candidate always has these promises that get them elected, and then we never see any of the things they promised. One of the things Obama used to get himself elected was that he was going to pull most of the soldiers out of Iraq, since there was no real reason for them to be there. (Besides oil) Well, thousands of soldiers are still being deployed there, well into his term. Really though, I don't so much blame the president. It's not the president that really has most of the power in our government, it's the House and Senate. A new president really isn't going to change much. In my mind, they're all pretty much the same even if they differ in views. I hate election time. It's like dealing with a bunch of car salesmen. They're going to say what they need to say to get elected. I wish I didn't feel that way, but there it is.Brittneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12745911419036502099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-50631902783350562662011-06-06T22:23:07.241-07:002011-06-06T22:23:07.241-07:00I'm totally with you. And the president alway...I'm totally with you. And the president always has to have re election in the back of his mind. I actually think it's time to get rid of the two party system completely. I'd rather just vote for the person I think is best and not have to worry all about primaries and parties. How can we change and re vamp the whole government? But I'll jump on that train. And I actually like talking politics as long as people don't raise their voices. :)<br /><br />Just so you know the comment moderator says dismal.

My parents are obsessed with it and they get so mad at me for not caring about it the way they do. They're always glued to the tv and spewing their opinions like word vomit. I told my husband the next time my parents give me a hard time for not following politics I'm gonna tell them the reason I don't is because I'd be high strung and stressed out just like them!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811530359842264063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-4829550861021244192011-06-06T10:09:30.347-07:002011-06-06T10:09:30.347-07:00I love politics.

I mean I cannot believe the things I have read about President Obama are just shameful to the writer. Honestly, would you be proud if he read what you wrote? I get critics on his job, but the personal ones are so unfair.<br /><br />I agree with you about the "can we go back." That philosophy doesn't work for anything. We can only go forward. <br /><br />To solve the jeans problem I don't wear them :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
