Quote by: Mr.Vicchio Partially because people believe that compromise makes sense. Part of that is the media, but in real life, do the hard chargers, stick to their guns unwaivering types annoy people more then they make friends?

I'm talking about political purism. But while we're here, is making friends the end-all-be-all of life or morality? Somehow, I doubt it. If a friend of mine and I have a falling-out because I think he's behaving immorally, so be it.

Or is it the people that can make deals, see "the other side of the issue" that appeal to people? Americans as a whole worry more about what happens this week, next week and so on in their daily lives more so then worrying about "the big issues"

However, the big issues often affect what happens this week, next week, and so on. Take war, for example. It can have an immediate and profound effect on people's lives. It's also, by all accounts, a big issue.

Part of the problem, I think, lies in the fact that political issues are often decided by using logical fallacies.

Is it a fault? Yeah, but don't think the people can't get fed up, and I think we're seeing that starting, people sick of "business as usual. It's like waking a sleeping dragon. Let it run it's course.

Honestly, I'm glad you can admit that it's a fault. I agree that we're starting to see people getting sick of "business as usual".
