Do you really despise the side opposite of your political views? Do you think they're out to do the country harm? Do you try to associate with those you know are on the opposite side as little as possible?

Yes...yes.. not always

To be clear...I don't despise the person, but I do NOT understand their beliefs.

While I am a conservative I believe that having a truly one sided politicial gov't would be a dictorship.

Therefore, we do need different perspectives on how to run the country and yes I do associate and respect others who don't follow my politicial way of thinking.

I think many people really do think reasonably like this. The dark side of corporate media is how it manipulates some people into thinking that someone must take an extreme position, rather than searching for a better solution that may take the best of many ideas. But the more reasonable voices can get drowned out.

Not really. Nobody can really change anything.

No, I don't despise the other side. I pity them.

I don't despise the other side because I'm not on one particular side. I agree with some things on the left and some things on the right.

I don't know if there are " other sides" anymore, I think bloggers would like to think there are but in reality, politicians serve themselves before they serve their constituents.
