To me, they're a necessary evil, sadly. I don't mind researching them to understand that process. I encourage people to research the candidates and try to do so myself. But I absolutely HATE talking politics. Similar to you, I think religious and political affiliation are personal things. <BR/><BR/>Along with all that, I'm very anti-confrontational and really dislike the negativity surrounding a lot of the campaigning going on. I avoid any kind of conversation where it might get heated, and leave if that happens.<BR/><BR/>I'm very ready for November to be over.Karinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00507549045262003945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26347544.post-23281573310589586162008-07-23T21:02:00.000-05:002008-07-23T21:02:00.000-05:00It seems like this election has been going on for years. Its getting on my last nerve. I don't like negative ads and ignore them. I do believe in voting but the process is all screwed up.<BR/><BR/>Be right with you in hell sisterJudy Fhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13367675981500142673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26347544.post-15225257700906317932008-07-22T05:59:00.000-05:002008-07-22T05:59:00.000-05:00I don&#39;t like the negativity!! POLITICS &amp; HONESTY do not go hand in hand any more if ever.<BR/><BR/> I loved Obama&#39;s straight from the heart advertisement. <BR/><BR/> I feel that every one should vote BUT I agree please look in to what that person stands for and what they will do once they are elected!<BR/><BR/>No more lies!! SHOULD be everyone&#39;s slogan!Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12533221100348874087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26347544.post-8551509768009513202008-07-22T04:03:00.000-05:002008-07-22T04:03:00.000-05:00Laurie, I am right there with you!

My partner in hell! *g* You're still a 100 times nicer than me, so if you're going, I know I'll be right there beside ya.<BR/><BR/>I have never been interested in politics, much to my shame. I feel like I should be, considering how these things affect all of us, but it has never appealed to me. One thing I will say is that that mud-slinging is not what should be on the political agenda. Politicians spend more time attacking each other instead of proving they stand behind their promises, so no wonder there's such antipathy for the whole process. <BR/><BR/>So no, I'd rather live and breathe chocolate, thank you very much.Stacy~http://www.blogger.com/profile/14919278697757441246noreply@blogger.com
