Sure there is, I meant politics in a different sense. I think my view on national politics is pretty well summed with something I heard on the radio that went like this:
Politics is a race. Now, there's no rule against having a good, moral, and just candidate in office. In the competition to get votes, however, a soul is dead weight and a candidate that carries one simply can not win.
I should have said that I sicken at 'politicking'. When Republicans are in power, Democrats play dirty. When Democrats are in power, Republicans play dirty. Whether or not either side is right, they're both playing dirty and that's what I sicken at. Because the Republicans have the inertia, Democrats just have to play it more openly.
And, just to say it again, I don't support the war. . .or oppose it.
