Ok, so right off the bat you can probably guess from my title that I'm talking about politics...and Brad (as if we haven't heard enough about politics in the news lately!). And right off the bat it might sound as if I'm throwing Brad under the bus. I'm really not. The title popped into my head when I was thinking about the MANY political emails that were circulating today among our friends. It normally is, and today was no different, that it is Brad against "us" ("us" meaning everyone else). So that is why Brad is the lucky one that gets his name put into the title. Ok, so maybe "against" wasn't the right word. It is just that Brad tends to offer a different perspective to the rest of us (that may or may not be stuck in our ways).
I can get so tired of hearing about politics, yet it's such an important part of our lives that how could I ignore what's going on and still call myself a concerned American? I think that the reason our friends (be sure to note that I am including Joe and me in that group as well) argue over politics is because we all see the importance of politics and feel passionately about our views. It's not that we're trying make others look stupid or trying to upset our friends. I guess it's good to argue/discuss if it either opens your mind to new ideas or if it affirms what you already believe.

I'm glad to see a blog update. I kept on checking for new ones. I guess I don't have much to complain about though, beacause I'm really bad at keeping up with mine.
I just lost my first comment! GR!
So here's my 2nd stab at a comment.
I agree, I get sick of hearing all the political news every day. I watch the Today show in the morning but the first 1/2 hour (the only 1/2 hour I can watch) is all about politics. I guess I should be thankful though that we live in a country where we can vote on a president and other officials and have the freedom to discuss it, or send emails all afternoon:) That was fun!
Hey girl! I don't appreciate you bashing my husband but you are right - it is Brad vs. the friends. Every where you turn it is politics galore. Sometimes I just tune it all out. I would love to hear your viewpoints, it would probably teach me a lot! I love your blog! I'll have to check it regularly - I just found the paper I wrote the website on. See you later! Jill
