Good question, Andrew.
Rose is right on. Political views can indeed separate people from each other. But it isn't surprising as politics affects our lives down to smallest details, and I am talking about our lives on a daily basis.
As for myself, I do not want to belong to any party as I found many ideas that I agree and strongly disagree with both in the Republican and the Democratic party. I am rather neutral with respect to "belonging" to "this or that" party (which doesn't mean I don't have any opinions, as I have a lot of them and very strong ones at times). But I have to say I particularly dislike the Bush administration (not because they're Republicans but because of their politics - especially foreign policy). Don't get me wrong - I FULLY support our troops as it's not their fault that they're in Iraq and they're doing what they're told, but like I said: I oppose Bush's foreign policy especially on Iraq.
And I will leave it at that. Otherwise I can talk forever when it comes to politics - and I would NOT want to argue about politics on Fish Lore because we have so many nice people here and I love them all
