<p>And yet I still relish it. I love it when people bash Palin/Bush/O'Donnell/whatever, I enjoy every little iota of anti-Republican bashing. And they very well deserve most of it. But it's such low-hanging fruit and I wish I didn't care. I wish I could magically stop caring about them. Oh why, oh why, oh why?</p>
<p>And they think that about Democrat-bashing.</p>
<p>The Democrats aren’t as fun to bash. They’re not so quirky as the Republicans.</p>
<p>Politician bashing in general is low-hanging fruit…</p>
<p>…yet so enjoyable, speaking as a liberal. </p>
<p>I even enjoy getting bashed on occasion—it’s hilarious.</p>
<p>I think communist bashing is the most fun from a libertarians perspective, no matter what letter they have in front of their name :D</p>
<p>^ Nah, big brother welfare states one-up communists.</p>
<p>Nazi libertarian communists are a hoot.</p>
<p>I love seeing stupid politician reactions. I don’t know why, but Republicans tend to say things without thinking. Democrats are…just…not as “funny” to listen to. As for Obama, the day that I laugh at one of his comments will be the day that mankind is united in peace.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, republicans tend to boldly assert grand-sounding nonsense, while democrats smilingly say complicated nothings.</p>
<p>It’s the difference between “My friends, we are not scared, we are ANGRY!” and “That depends on what the definition of “is” is.”</p>
<p>Both can be good for laughs, and if you play them off each other well they won’t do TOO much damage.</p>
<p>Or so is the cynical view of politics.</p>
<p>^ Frankly, I have no intention of ever voting for anyone. I don’t like the system and the parties themselves. I do love politics and the inner machinery of it though, I just do not feel the need to vote. I love watching politics, but something I just end up shaking my head and understanding that the government is screwed up. I simply accept their stupidity only because that’s just how the world goes.</p>
<p>@ InquisitiveOne: Lmaooo ! Agreed.</p>
<p>Funny how people blame politicians for their stupidity. They’re only doing what gets them elected. Politics is a free market, and the free market gets the people what they want.</p>
<p>^ Not to hear the politicians tell it, it doesn’t…</p>
<p>@chicken: The thing is that if you had the chance to vote and you didn’t then you have no right to complain about what the government does.</p>
<p>@Mosby: I’m not necessarily complaining, I simply am pointing out that I am amused by the idiocy of politics. Also, to me, voting is futile because all the choices available (even if my vote counted toward the person I wanted) would simply end up the same way. Frankly, I am not complaining because our government is better than nothing and it does get the job done(sometimes).</p>
<p>
… ?</p>
<p>@chicken: Yeah, I figured. But I intend to vote because I want to be able to complain :P.</p>
<p>@TCBH: According to the politicians, free market does NOT get the people what they want. Hence they have to jump in and regulate anything that moves.</p>
<p>What was the Reagan quote… ah yes: “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”</p>
<p>Are you saying that people really want stupid politicians?</p>
<p>^ My turn to …?</p>
<p>Say again?</p>
<p>People want stupid politicians?</p>
