(Do you notice the muddy hand prints on my front door. I don't want to name names but I think we all know who put them there. I guess I need to go clean it up and in the future, use the front door more often so I know what it looks like.)I was wondering today, which is more important national politics or local politics? Which really affects my life more?
I love to talk politics with my father-in-law (he teaches high school government). We have some interesting conversations especially now that I'm registered in the "other" party. In their house, the main topics of discussion are: politics, religion, and sports. Something we can all be passionate about.

I had a teacher in high school that was an active member of the local "other" party and someone found out he was in a bishopric and most people couldn't believe it. I thought it was a little short sighted, personally. When I registered to vote, I didn't declare a party so that when someone asked what party I belonged to I could answer truthfully; none. The flack I would have gotten had I registered otherwise wasn't worth it. And, I thought things were bad there, but being an "other" party member here is even worse.
Good luck with the debates! At least someone is getting worked up about something.
I love to see people passionate about issues! I am conservative on moral issues (with four-n-more kids, I'm obviously pro-life) and liberal on social issues. I'm actually somewhere in between the two parties. I registered in the "other" party just for the flack I would receive. That's just my personality.
I knew I liked you for a reason!
I think that for me, I can't put a name on my beliefs. I can't reconcile my views enough to call myself one party or the other. I think the most important thing for me is to keep the conversation going.
I also like it when people are willing to keep the conversation going. I like to listen to differing views, I think about it on my own, and then decide where I stand.
