It really made me realize how far apart people are and how we have ruined any chance of rational discussion between opposing political parties. It feels like there is no middle anymore...it's either left crazy or right crazy and at this moment I'm feeling a little better about right crazy since it's not as dangerous. That could change of course.

How did this election change you?

Not one iota..... this country of ours the United States of America swing right and left every 4
to 8 to12 Years anyway.

In 4 to 8 to 12 years the Democrats would be right back in the White House. Last thought the (D) and (R) Party aren't that different from each other anyways.

True. If Obama wasn't trying to import Muslims, giving Ilegals amnesty, not treating police as the enemy, trading traitors for Terrorist, appointing AJs that dont belong in that job, giving record #s of Criminals pardons I would still be voting Dem every time.

If Repubs were not against Pro-choice, were less indebted to the religous right, were more welcoming to gay people, were really fiscally responsible they would get my vote every time.

I am hoping that, with an increase in jobs, higher wages and the lifting up of American citizens that the extreme hate we see from the left will decrease.

There is an absolute absence of compassion when we do not condemn these actions to further our politics.
But that isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about not insulting other people, calling names, being assumptive, etc.

This kind of attitude absolutely shocks me. Barack Obama is so NOT a marxist or communist. He's a left leaning Reaganesque moderate. But this statement by case44 and others similar show a remarkable and terrifying divide between perspectives on the same people, ideas or situations. We can't even agree on the facts anymore. I wouldn't feel so positive about the future case44. If we can't agree on facts now, I think it'll just get worse for our kids and grandkids. So much for living in the information age.

Who supports illegal immigration?

Accepting Syrian refugees has more to do treating others how you'd want to be treated in the same situation rather than being racist, in my opinion. Its the right thing to do, offering innocent people safe havens when they no longer have a home.
