I’m thinking… I’m going to tone down the political talk around here for a while.  Not that I’ve done a lot, particularly here on the blog, but I am starting to see where politics can easily take over my life and I gotta nip that in the bud while I still can.  We’ve got two whole months left in this election and while I can’t promise I won’t return to politics when the election rolls around, I think it’s better if I turned to other topics in the meantime.

Twitter, especially, is a political snark enabler for me.  It’s just so easy to type out the things we say to one another when watching speeches and whatnot on television.  Now, my intention has never been to hurt anyone’s feelings.  Of course not!  I’ve said before that I know an awful lot of Republicans.  My in laws are almost all Republican.  I’m rather used to coexisting peacefully with people who have other political beliefs than myself.  And how best do I accomplish this?  I keep my thoughts to myself.

So that’s what I’m going to do.  Keep my thoughts to myself.

I respect my Republican friends and I hope they respect me back.  I don’t want some of my friends to feel they need to avoid my blog in the next couple of months and I don’t want to feel like I have to avoid theirs.  So yeah.  Nipping it in the bud.

Let’s all play nice, okay?  After all, the important thing is still true: At least we’re getting a new President either way.
