Originally Posted By DDMAN26 Somewhat, I'm a little more apathetic towards politics these days. I truly feel like my vote, no matter who it's for is going to be a waste of time. So I'm going not going to participate in any upcoming elections in the next year. I certainly encourage others to vote, but right now it's not something I feel is worthy of my time. And I don't follow the news as much. I've taken all the news channels off my favorites list on Direct TV. I don't read the newspaper anymore. And any online articles I read are from a wide range, sports, movies, technology. I don't know I much happier this way. It's depressing to follow this stuff everyday.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 If true, that's kind of sad. And not because the points of view are conservative; but because they're so ill-informed, as even other conservatives here have said.

I'm all for opposing points of view, in fact, I like to be challenged in that way. But it requires some actual back and forth, not hit and run posting.
