Politics is a big money shell game\n\nThe politicians have to court the special interest groups that financed them\n\nNo one is held accountable any more\n\nIt is our age of " Enlightenment"

I know you are trying to pull liberal's tails on your question.  I never voted in my life.  The thing is, politics in general in America is just a zoo.  All politicians are not worth my time nor respect.  So I try to live a life not needing government by making myself enough money to do as I please.  As far as I am concern, government and people in general are all corrupt in the USA.  People lie everyday, and the media is not objective but a medium for making money from commercials or whatever.  People do what it is they do for money for a better life, business ceos don't act ethically and by nature greedy fat cats, liberals are jealous and want a voice, everybody is just too loud and it makes no difference in my life, i ignore the whole thing but to laugh at libs and the rest of them.  I only support me, my kind, and my family.  I am a racist towards those that are racist against me, that includes all whities from Oklahoma.  See, I don't hide behind political correctness, it is another shame of the left, call it like it is and we all will be better off.  All policians lie, they have to in order to do their job, so life is a big B.S. if you keep it in perspective, all this energy is a waste, just leave me alone to my own resources, stay out of my way, and go suck your own problems for a change.  Good day.

Fascism,gotta love it!\nAs to your question, I find liberals are generally people who are close minded, full of themselves, and desperate to be 'in'. I also find them in large annoying numbers at our local coffee bars, spouting their rhetoric. poop!

I have noticed this too.  I don't understand why things have grown so polarized.  I have a strong political persuasion as well (which I will not disclose) and I hate to see my favorite party insulting the other party.  It makes them look stupid.  I think that there needs to be a 3rd, more moderate party thrown into the mix to get these two sides to get along.

It's called political socialization. They usually pick up their political views from their parents and other influential adults in their lives.

It makes them feel better when they give some sort of smart ass answer. They are obviously not politically minded, they probably don't watch the news with any sense of agenda. They watch it and take no time to understand what they are watching. They like to make quick judgements on what they thing other people should think and have no clue as how to debate or ponder these question further than their noses.\nIt is sad. I believe that if people actually researched what they read and not just believed everything that was said on TV or by their peers then this world would be a much better place.

Start with the fact that really front edge bright and well-educated people don't do this. Nice uneducated ones don't either. Take those two groups away, and what you have is the base of yahoo answers political boards.\n\nThe reason some people do it, the mean ones, is to feel better. It's release to call someone an idiot on a big loudspeaker from behind a curtain where you'll never be seen or called to account for your comments. It's exactly like prank calls or vandalism. Messing with people by remote control.\n\nThe reason a lot of other people do it -- call them middle brow users -- is because once you pigeonhole and demonize a group with a stereotype, they are in a tidy box, and you don't have to bother with trying to see things from their point of view anymore.  Instead, you just kneejerk "oh, it's the Nabobs", and you're done with it. It's intellectual laziness. But sometimes the way a middlebrow goes about it is superficially clever, and indicative of the fact they aren't 100% dummies, at very least. They have some sort of language skills and ability to entertain, if not great insight. If you think about it, that's what a lot of radio talk """pundits""" have too: superficial verbal agility, with no real insight.\n\nBut whoever does it, it's not useful, and ultimately damaging to the public dialog on issues.

I'm insanely interested in politics, but I've never aligned myself to one party or the other. The ideology behind politics is amazing to me, but to blindly follow ANYTHING in this world today is asinine to me.

Because liberals are cry babies when they lose. It's voter fraud, voting machine conspiracy theories, disenfranchised voters, turned away voters, long lines at the polls, etc, etc. \nBut when they win, well......all is fine with the system. \nNotice how we didn't hear one word about voter fraud!!! SSHHHH!!!!!

Sounds like your doing some finger pointing yourself.  Politicians are always blaming someone else.  Misdirection is the name of the game.
