Since we cannot edit our posts on here I am just going to add this to my response in post #16.

My bottom line is this. If you want to compare quotes, promises, predictions of politicians.....I mean if that is truely what you call discussing politics...then begin a thread and call it MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOURS.

Republican can google and get websites of what Obama promised and did not deliver...you can post all your stuff from the party, and of course add the oldie but goodie on Rick Scott.

I would prefer to discuss things like.....Iran deal, Syria situation, character of the Democratic nominee, Israel, destruction of Libya, comments on debates, racial tensions in the country, and on and on. Lots to chose from, but they are called current ISSUES.

By the way, new home sales went down today far below what predicted. In what column does that go ? I jest, because in your world that is a stat to use for some reason when in fact is is ONE of many statistics to measure the countries growth.
