What is "not so polictical"?

Being a not so political person, I have a hard time participating in political banter with my colleagues. Election 2008 is making it even more difficult with the word “change” being thrown around so much without a lot of backbone in defining the actions of the “change” we should be anticipating.

I do vote, and I think it is not only important but an obligation for every citizen to vote.  I take my time figuring out the candidate I support.  I am not a big fan of having to choose a political party. If you were to lay it on the line, there are philosophies I agree with across the board, whether Republican, Democrat, Independent, Liberal, etc.

I also firmly believe the personal lives of our politicians are an important factor on whether or not we should support them. What better analysis of a person’s ethical and moral values than how they conduct their lives at home.

That being said, I also love a good piece of juicy gossip! I don’t necessarily let that cloud my judgment, but hey, there is nothing wrong with adding a little entertainment to a serious subject such as politics.
