I might be (at least) the second person to leave a certain newsgroup until the election happens.
I am peeved as I started a decidedly non-political thread, only to get a big political hook thrown in on a response. Um, if I wanted to """discuss""" (triple scare quotes needed) politics with you lot, I'd be joining in on the existing threads instead of talking about music.
I like politics. I don't like discussing it in that group because people get nuts. Well, some of them tend towards ranting phools anyway, and the election is not bringing out the best in them. I'd rather discuss it on the Ship where there are at least some ground rules.
Other options, of course, are telling the other person off in private or in public.
Not doin' anything for at least twenty-four hours, though.
*grump*

It's too important to me. I'm so horrified, insulted and scared where this current administration is concerned that, for the first time in a very, very long time, I really can't comprehend how any thinking, compassionate person could possibly support the Republican platform. I just can't. I's impossible for me to discuss it calmly with anyone on the other side ... so I don't.
(Just as I was about to post this, my 8:30 interview showed up -- local candidate for County Commissioner from the Constitution Party. Yeesh.)
At least I figured a humorous way out (I do actually usually respect the person who did this to me). I wouldn't be half surprised if someone jumps all over my shit for it, though. They are just That Way.
What's the deal with the Constitution Party?
