I’ve had a few opportunities lately to post about the democratic side but haven’t. I don’t feel there would be anything good to come of it so why do it?

I almost unfollowed a few people on my twitter list that I had a lot of respect for. And if it keeps up I will. Makes me sad. All the bitterness of these tweets about Sarah not only confuse me but make me feel unsure about the twitterer now.

I said some things about Palin – I don’t remember if they were mean but I definitely was thankful that some of my fellow Twitter friends were there to BS about it with. If we can’t have an open conversation on a social networking site, where can we have it??

I think what’s worse than voicing your opinion is A) not having one, and B) discriminating against others because of theirs. I don’t engage in political discrimination. Meaning, if you’re conservative and I’m not, who cares. I don’t think it’s rude to say Palin is a terrible VP choice, but I think it would be rude to say you’re stupid if you don’t agree with me. (Not that I think that, just trying to make the point!)

By the way, just because someone isn’t conservative or voting Republican doesn’t automatically make them a liberal…

I have to agree with Miranda. I’ve been quite disappointed with the McCain/Palin response. The lastest ad against Obama is actually one of the lowest and probably the most desperate ads I think I’ve seen. It just shows how nasty politics can be. I definitely think everyone is free to have their views. We obviously all want to the same outcome, we want the best for America. But both parties need to stay on the issues (one party, I feel is doing a better job of staying on issues) because in the end, the American people lose.

It’s how you prove yourself as a business person that counts with me. Your political views are YOUR views. If someone chooses not to do business with me because of the way I think, I would say that would be their loss.

I love reading opposing views. Who knows? I might just learn something in the process.

It’s maybe going to increase a buzz to see what happens next but you could come accross as spiteful and nasty which is about the last feelings you want to associate with you and your blog.

Quality as always appreciated by a wahd.

But if its someone I respect, think highly of, admire, or consider a friend, that’s not going to change because I find out they support McCain or they think its great that he chose Palin as VP.

As long as someone is staying focused on the issues and not attacking someone’s race or gender or family status, I respect their opinion and their right to express it. Its not what they say, its how they say it. (I do admit, I prefer to have a little humor thrown in.)

If I only did business with people who agreed with me on everything from politics to religion to parenting, I would be a very lonely person.

Differing political views doesn’t make me want to do business elsewhere. But if someone should attack me because of what I believe that would make me move on. Attacking me and attacking the issues are two different things.
