It's great to be able to discuss world events that have the potential to impact our lives going forward. What happened on the political forum was it would deteriorate into name calling. People were not able to discuss political issues without using the politicians one liner jabs at those they do not agree with.
For some reason I cannot understand most people seem to believe that the absolute worst devil who lies cheats and steals but belongs to their party is better than the absolute most honest high integrity respected person from the other party.
Believe me that there are crooks, saints, devils, smart people and all other walks of life that belong to both political parties. And if your reading this thinking "yes, but there is more of them bad ones in the other party" then your part of the problem. Both have lots and lots of each type. I always try to look at what a candidate stands for, their positions on current issues and how I think they will represent me when I vote. Yes my support falls to those I agree with which happen to belong to one party more than the other, but during my long life I have voted for candidates from both parties many many times.
