politics, part two

I'll be very happy when this election is over. More and more as we approach the election, I see the ugliness that is brought out at a personal level, not to mention the venomous ads from various political groups, and often the animosity I see pops up where it wouldn't otherwise.

It seems like people are changed somehow when they get behind their man. When talking about key issues at other times, I feel like I can address the issue by itself, but during election time, people group the issues together at either the Republican or Democrat end of things, and it's very hard to have productive conversations. It's frustrating, and I'll be happy once we've gotten past this season.
