Politics definitely should be in a separate forum. Like religion, its an emotional issue. It usually comes down to Cons educating Libs and Libs calling people names and spewing hate filled diatribes against FoxNews.

Crookhaven,

the problem with voting down a school budget is that the only pieces that get cut are the programs that are needed. Arts, sports, and after school programs cost pennies relative to everything else yet are the first to be cut. Voting on teacher/administrator contracts is what would matter, not the current sham of a budget vote that exists today.

If you want to know what the Tea Party stands for, as the two grassroots who paid for it: Koch 1 & Koch 2.

Koch brothers now at heart of GOP power - latimes.com

Koch brothers financial support is far, far better than the financial support supplied by the self-hating, possibly anti-Semitic, Jew, George Soros funded secular-progressive-liberal Leftist organizations.

Oh I think some of our political issues concerning our local elected officials kowtowing to certain public sector employee unions (police and teachers) are quite UNIQUE to Long Island.

The George Soros meme exists for the sole purpose of protecting the Kochs. There is no parallel. Soros has nothing to gain by his philanthropy. The Kochs reap billions in revenue from a weak EPA.

In the study of politics, it is called inoculation.

No matter how often a lie is repeated ("This thing is so racist its vile."), it remains a lie.
