god i love political debates... I will freely admit that any of my comments on here should be taken with a grain of salt... for I am undoubtedly bias towards the left a bit..
I used to be right wing, republican type...(almost red-neck).. however, you can't close off your eyes to the atrocities commited under the Bush administration, which is why my political views had to shift...
now I don't bother to support a party, that is one of the fundamental flaws with america. people think "oh, i need to set myself to a party - republican or democrat"... when really, we should, all of us be approaching each situation or issue individually and find the best solution for it.. not just going off what some political establishment has deemed suitable
this is why i like this thread. i am shocked it hasn't digressed into some huge flame war, so i thank you all who've posted in here for keeping it civilized.
