I'm sick of all of the politics being thrown around on this board.

A few weeks ago, there was a child holding a Bush/Cheney poster at a rally. Half the people that posted in the reply thread here said it was terrible to involve a child in this way and "impose your politics" on your child etc. First person that defends their statement in that thread gets literally dozens of photos showing children in the Kerry Camp. It?s not Conservatives, its POLITICS.

Shortly before, a woman was fired for having a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker. Now, a teacher in NJ has "Had her keys taken and told to leave the building" for having a non-political photo of Bush and his wife on the bulletin board adjacent to the US flag and the Declaration of Independence. She had a picture of the CURRENT PRESIDENT there, just as I had one of Clinton when I was in High School. Liberal parents came in and actually demanded that she either put up a picture of Kerry as well (who is NOT the current president) or take Bush's picture down.

It would appear that when a conservative does something wrong, even slightly bending the rules, a liberal will cite it as the conservatives getting away with murder and flaunting the rules. When Kerry took a pen to the Presidential debate and took it from his pocket for the debate, a number of conservative bloggers cried foul (it appeared to be a note card in video) yet after acknowledging that Kerry broke the rules of the debate which specifically mentioned pens not being brought to the podium, Kerry campers complained that the hubbub was an effort by the right to distract the attention from Bush's lackluster performance at the debate. Do liberals genuinely believe they would have not done the same thing if Bush had ADMITTED to breaking the rules?

Politics are Nasty. I'm likely voting Bush for reasons I'm not going into now because my post is already so long that really, its likely only people who agree with me would have read this far.

Everyone shut up and vote.

edit: Spelling fixed to avoid flames from people who think a misplaced apostrophe negates the value of an entire post. (both sides have these jackasses)
