And we’re not talking just rooting for the old home team, here! Do you know what the party you support stands for?  Do you know what the other party stands for?  It’s important to remember that BOTH sides have good points, after all, there are REALLY smart, caring people who support both parties!  So, if you think ‘the other guys’ are ‘just stupid’, or even ‘evil’, then do some homework, and find out what it is about the other party that would allow intelligent and wonderful people to support their goals.

In politics today, the important thing, the ‘party platform’ - or what the party stands for in real terms, always seems to get pushed under the rug in favor of putting down other candidates to make themselves look better, and making it a personality and popularity contest, instead of an election about issues that affect our lives.  Since we all wave flags and love our country, it’s important to look at the platform of issues that each party says they will promote in the coming years to really know who you want to root for.  You may be surprised by what you find! 

The best thing you will find, is the ability to have rational discussions about politics, and the ability to stand behind your point of view, because you actually know what it is!  Understanding the ‘enemy’ is the first step to understanding yourself.
