See if you can post without saying derogatory remarks about the personalities or policies of the other team. See if you can say something without saying “you liberals this, "Obama" that, or "Fox and Beck will …"

Try to actually discuss an issue without finger pointing, blame or “but you guys did …”.

If that is your crutch, you aren’t discussing issues, you are parroting talking heads.

OMG, that would be so refreshing. That is one of my pet peeves - lumping people into categories and drawing rash conclusions . . .

Most people treat politics like pep rallies and defend their team like it was high school football, when in reality the politicians are the equivalent of pro wrestling.

Politics has always been this way and journalism has long recognized it. Afterall most people knew that their newspaper and the local poliitcs were controlled by one party.Its not hard to really listen even to the supreme court justices in argumants to see that politcal leaning plays a big part in their judgement.Politics is the art of compromise for a reason;nt a search for truth or some such non-sense some may thnk.

So this is a thread about nothing. You say try to discuss an issue without finger pointing or blaming but you failed to present a topic.

I never post derogatory names.

I do not like that from either "side".
