Why all of the anger?

Okay so I came to this forum to seek refuge from facebook where I have been basically slammed by the liberal members of my family. You see, I am conservative, perhaps very conservative, with family members who are mostly liberal. I have been through numerous election cycles, enough to believe that this election has been the most divisive in decades. I recall a time that you could debate politics without thinking that your political opponent was a jackass. I have severely damaged relations with family members over what I believed to be civil but very opinionated posts. In hindsight, I would place the discussion of politics with family members right up there next to religion. Your views would be most appreciated. I can't afford counseling so I thought I would seek free advice here.....lol.
Regards,
Don

Don't worry. We can slam your conservative views just as hard as they can.

And welcome aboard.

Howdy. Who needs counseling? Just remember, people are idiots

So come here and argue with strangers, at least their idiocy won't effect your home life

Mitt Romney gave $100 million to his sons tax-free. I'm just glad he kept it out of the hands of Obama's big government. What a hero!

You can say that again. His ability for home life is in his control, not ours. He just chooses not to do the work.

No anger here. I am laughing at the hundreds of millions wasted until I think about the Sandy victims and what all that could have done for them. That does get me sad, almost angry.
