One Big Reason The Average Person Hates Being Political.


Why does the Average Joe hat getting involved in politics? It's not the corruption, or the fact that you basically have to be rich and/or famous to have your voice heard. Dealing with the stubborn "Old Guard" (established politicians who would run over their own mother before giving up their power and the perks that come with it) is an issue, but every generation (or scandal) usually ushers in fresh blood.

No...the biggest reason has to be: Once You Pick A Side For An Issue, You Will Be Slammed.

That's what's happening to the child who was chosen to give the Democratic Radio Address two weeks ago (regarding President Bush's SCHIP veto), and it's disgusting that anyone would go after a child (and their family) for simply trying to be involved in what was once a very non-partisan issue. But as we've seen with warrantless wiretapping, terrorism, US attorneys and other issues, the current Administration has done their best to create divisions out of the most mundane political issues.
