>IMO, calling them destructive puts down them and those who agree with them. How about a discussion about constructive, "good" policies?

Bob - So, we're only supposed to talk about policies that 100% of US Citizens think are positive? Ooops...can't leave out our Canadian friends. Oh, and the UK...and...um. Well now, we have a problem. We can only talk about policies which benefit all mankind. And animals, and vegetables (for those fruitarians).It's sounds like you want the girls in Snow White outfits and the boys in Peter Pan tights! Not that I wouldn't wanna see that photo too, but jeepers, yes Bob, it does seem a wee bit limiting for a political forum.
Because I put down a policy, I am not putting down a person who supports it. I have friends of all political persuasions. The person and the policy are two separate things. IF the discussion is civil, and kind, if can be educational and interesting. IF people are unable to keep their emotions in check, and the dicussions get cruel, you have the power to simply shut down the board.
I also think if the Politics board is a place where only one political party feels welcome, it should not exist.
