I just wonder when we are all going to figure it out. Conservative/liberal, republican/democrat they are all the same; they all want to spend my money and none of them will spend it the way I want them to.

My personal opinion is that our politicians are masters at pitting the American citizen against one another using strongly worded rhetoric in order to distract us from their true self serving agendas.

To keep it on topic; although I did not know the people in question it is always too bad when someone that has knowledge to share decides to keep it to themselves. And as far as the politics go it never hurts to know what the other side is thinking. It's always amazed me how the relative anonymity of the internet causes some people to act in ways they never would in public.
