Wow I have found myself watching a huge amount of political stuff in the last two weeks. These conventions were very interesting. The tone of the whole race has really changed, people are now back to saying whatever they can to attack the person they don’t like.
I find it quite sad that people would disrupt an event that they have no place being at just to get some air time. I find it sad that people attack other people for something unimportant just because they oppose them on a totally unrelated issue. There are a few people who are not doing this but for the most part they are doing everything they can to bash the opposite party. At least the candidates themselves seem, for the most part, to only been bashing on the issues.
It is OK to say you don’t agree with someone, and lay out point by point why you don’t agree with them. You can argue with them as much as you can. But what is not OK is bringing up non related issues, and bashing them on that.
Because of this I have had much less time for blogging recently. I have not spent a lot of time blogging about politics, for three main reasons. First this is a business blog, I do think that politics has a lot to do with business but the things I have been focusing on don’t. Second, and most important, there are MANY people blogging about this, and most of them spend more time and energy on this issue than I would like to. I like to collect info more than just give opinions. Third, I hate it when people are so biased that they attack me for saying what I would say, it is OK to attack my views, but on other blogs when I post a comment that makes sense, they just write things that are simply evil because I don’t support their views.
