#7 Honestly, I can't listen to either side any more. I can't even watch Bill Maher's show, which I used to enjoy (there, THAT ought to spur a lot of flames here). It seems that most commentators want to yell at their audience these days, and aren't willing enough to try to take a step back and be objective.
Truly meaningful political debate and discourse in this country seems to by a rapdily-dying art. It's a shame, and I know that even in the early days of the country, politicians could get uppity with each other and make just awful claims of their opponents and whatnot. However, it seems in the day of modern communication where anyone with a thought, however ill-formed it may be, can get on TV, the internet, etc. and just spew...I really just want the hard facts any more, and just let me chew on them on my own.
