I Hate Politics!

I really do. I'll be honest; I can't tell you the difference between a Republican and a Democrat or a liberal and a conservative. I once took one of those online tests to determine where I stood in politics and it came back with "centrist", whatever the hell that means.

When someone starts talking to me about politics, the little voice in my head tells me, "Let's get away from this person". I'm serious. I would rather bounce my head against a brick wall or chew on rocks. I don't know why people insist that I listen!

When I go to visit a website, regardless if it's a blog or not and when it's a personal site, I do not expect to be assaulted by politics. I can handle almost anything else, including decapitation videos. I think there should be a rule or something that if you're going to devote every other article to politics that you have a banner at the top of your page that says either "Bush Hater" or "Bush Lover" so that I can be on my merry way and find another place to visit.

The unfortunate part about all this is that even I, the politics-hating person that I am, can get suckered into playing along in the politics game. When that happens, I am incredibly furious with myself for being so gullible. I can deal with a simple opinion being asked of me, but please do not ask me to elaborate further. Politicians make me want to vomit. As I have always said, there are four kinds of liars: Liars, damn liars, lawyers and politicians.

    I use to listen to Air America talk radio on my way to work and before I slept. I ended up having to stop that as I would get in such a pissed off mood.

    Even had someone the other day call me a "terrorist supporter" because I feel that there should be a different path taken in Iraq, one that keeps our troops more out of harms way.

  2. I was trying to remember the name of that. Thanks! I listened to "The Savage Nation" before the radio station I listened to switched to Air America. I didn't listen for the politics — Michael Savage was hilarious. As soon as the station, KXEM, switched to Air America, I stopped listening to that station. My long trips home became so much longer.

    "there are four kinds of liars: Liars, damn liars, lawyers and politicians."

    AMEN! Well, actually, I think that rather than being 4 different kinds, it's more like 4 synonyms. :-)

  4. You know, you're right! I never thought of it that way.

    Hm.. hopefully you'll find your away around the politics posts then whenever you happen upon my blog. There is other stuff there :-D

  6. As long as it isn't EVERY OTHER POST, I'll be okay. I had to write this article because out of kindness, I visited a blogger that had linked to me somehow. Almost every post within a 7-day period was political Bush-bashing in one way or another. A definite turn off.

    As if there are any less problems in my own life: a divorce, diabetes, stress, head-aches, family problems, financial mess, a pending legal case. Reading the newspaper only exacerbates this condition. I recently took a conscious decision to TOTALLY AVOID any interest in politics; as an individual belonging to a disadvantaged minority, I'm too powerless to change things around me. Reading about injustice to others used to make me hate the whole world the sensitive person that I am.

    I've finally redeemed my life by avoiding newspapers, news channels etc. And I'm very happy now.

    I hate politics too. I can't stand the extreme left and right. I have worked with people before where you say "Nice day outside" and they will either reply "Republicans are ruining the world man, Global warming is worse under Bush…" or "Democrat Gore lied about global warming in his dumb film."… I usually just roll my eyes and walk off and I either get called a Republican or Democrat accordingly.
    Anyway, I don't vote, I don't even watch the news anymore and I tell people when they start puking Limbaugh or Al Franken drool my way that I am not interested in it. I try to avoid people that are only willing to talk politics. I've gotta be honest, I have never been happier and less stressed out in my life than I am now.

    People put too much trust in governments. It's not healthy or an answer to anything.

    I see all these worn out Bush/Chaney bumper stickers on people's cars from the old election. It makes me think: "See, that person once believed in those men, and look where we all are." And it could have been their opposing candidates that won, but the results we see today would still be the same.

    Politics are overrated and lame. They also fall under the category of useless and worthless. Anyone who says other wise better comeback with some good and awesome results to back up their statements.

    I love it!

    A post about politics to say how much you dislike politics and the fact that people post about politics.

    I love the irony in that!

    I do understand though and I try as hard as I can to not post about politics too often for exactly that reason and I certainly don't bash politicians!

    I have to be honest, I'm addicted to politics. I have tried to go cold turkey but I relapse every time I turn on the TV. I devoted my blog to politics so I could get it out of my system on line and stop driving my friends crazy with my rantings about politicians. They are all most certainly liars, damn liars and I think most of them are also lawyers. The Silent Majority
